I've had it pointed out from an NHS insider that the health service is merely consulting on single-sex facilities & services.
So, now is the time to respond & share your thoughts with the Gov (worth doing, I guarantee trans lobbyists will be).

NHS accuses Ministers of dragging NHS into ‘culture wars debate’ with proposal for patient rights.

It seems to its highest echelons the NHS is captured by men deciding what women should or should not care about.

Why is Japan grappling with record-low birth rates?

Here's a clip from an interview I did with a local woman who tries to demystify this very complex issue.

The Japanese government is no stranger to the issue, with Prime minister Fumio Kishida calling the low births “the

Liar. Keir Starmer hasn't spoken 2 Rosie Duffield for 2+yrs. Nor protected her from attacks by Labour. Re the issue, floating aloft with generic words 'respect, dignity' isn't going to cut it. Instead let's hear about down-on-ground nitty-gritty policy detail

By the Director of Policy at the Citizens Advice Bureau. The CAB are probably better placed than anyone to advise ministers of the impact of policies on the ground. Their data analysis and record keeping is second to none, in my experience of working for a CAB specialist service.

Billy Bragg Reactionary forces already have curtailed women's rights - rapists have been housed in women's prisons, men have taken women's places in politics, sports & the arts, & brave people have lost their jobs for speaking out. Left wingers need to look at their role in silencing debate

Keir Starmer LabourWomen’sDeclaration 🐐 🐐 LesbianLabour Rosie Duffield MP It pains me to say all that; I'm a The Labour Party party member, and have much welcomed increasing knowledge and sanity in several prominent Labour MPs.

But Keir Starmer seems determined to stay ignorant, and so will continue.

This is horrific, and the fact that some of these staff are still in post is an outrage in itself. Special school pupils ‘tortured’ in calming rooms, BBC investigation finds - BBC News bbc.co.uk/news/uk-688973…

I suspect it may also be a question of how challenging it would be to get a foot in the door by interning for a London-based publisher if you're from a low-income family from outside London who can't afford to support you while you're trying to get that same foot in the door.

Male politicians who chose to pander to activists issuing violent threats against their own female MPs enabled and emboldened the toxic culture Keir Starmer now claims to deplore. When you're part of the cause, you've got some brass neck putting yourself forward as a cure.

'Toxicity' has become code for 'uncomfortable truths that make interviews awkward for fence-sitting politicians'.

This is the right move by the NHS. We must be respectful of all, but that will never change biological fact.

I'm delighted to see common sense prevailing - it has certainly taken long enough.

A real positive step in the right direction.

Well, this will put the cat among the pigeons, won't it? Imagine the squirming when politicians are asked questions about human biology...
