In a striking rejection of transgender ideology and a win for women’s rights activists, the UK National Health Service’s constitution states that sex is a biological reality and that patients must be informed how they are treated. It will be declared publicly.
Another major pillar of Wokist medical thought, that sex is a fluid concept, has been revised into NHS rules, following the National Health Service’s move to ban life-changing puberty-blocking drugs from being prescribed to children. It seems likely that it will be dismantled as stated below. They define sex as biological sex. ”
In practice, updating the governing documents of the socialized health care system means that so-called transgender women will be barred from women-only wards. telegraph paper report.
Currently, gender is not recognized as a biological fact when determining where patients are placed, so some female patients are forced to share rooms with biological men who claim to be transgender women. ing.
The new constitution will state that NHS patients “will not be required to share sleeping facilities with patients of a different biological sex”. Previous documents stated that patients would be housed in the ward of their identified gender.
In response to objections raised by female patients to seeing transgender nurses and doctors, the constitution also allows patients to request care from same-sex medical professionals.
The changes were made at the direction of government ministers, who are tasked with updating the NHS constitution at least once every 10 years. This document was last updated in 2015. However, in addition to input from ministers, a two-month public consultation will be held to allow the public and members of the healthcare industry to submit further proposals to amend the constitution.

Following the announced changes, Health Minister Victoria Atkins said: “By enshrining this in the NHS Constitution, we highlight the importance of balancing the rights and needs of all patients to create a faster, simpler and fairer healthcare system for everyone.” “I will do it.”
The move to recognize sex as a biological reality was welcomed by women’s rights activists, but in the UK the infiltration of transgender ideology into government has meant that male-born transgender people are prioritized and women’s rights are undermined. It has long been argued that it is being eroded.
Maya Forstater, chief executive of the Sex Matters campaign group, who was once fired from an anti-poverty think tank for insisting that transgender women were still actually men, called the changes “great news. ” he praised.
“The conflation of ‘sex’ and ‘gender’ in official policies such as the NHS constitution allows women’s rights to be trampled on in the name of transgender identity,” she said, adding that the medical industry Many of them said they were “confused.” She is “scared” by transgender ideologues.
Ms Forstater said the move was “nothing more than a return to common sense and an outdated recognition that women’s well-being and safety are important”.
But not everyone was happy with the latest information, with NHS Confederation chief executive Matthew Taylor saying the health system should not be dragged into a “pre-election culture war debate”.
Taylor said reducing “inequality” requires “maintaining high-quality care for all,” particularly for groups deemed marginalized, including “transgender and non-binary patients.” ” was important. He went on to demand that changes to the constitution be “clear and actionable for NHS workers, who should not expect to have to interpret vague guidance at a local level”.
Addressing the need for transparency in the health care system, government ministers also announced that the latest constitution would allow health care providers to “clear conditions” and do away with controversial woke phrases like “breastfeeding” and “person giving birth.”
