The Durham and Darlington NHS Trust has just forked out -u187,000 in
damages to a group of nurses whom it forced to share a changing room
with a man who pretended to be a woman. In addition, the Trust has a
legal bill of -u600,000 for its own expenses and will have to cover the legal costs of the nurses, which are likely to be as much again.
Unfortunately, the old adage "go woke, go broke" will not apply in this case. Instead of the persons responsible for this policy being forced to
pay for their vicious stupidity, the money will come out of Trust funds (either directly or through increased legal insurance costs) which means that patients are the ones who will suffer.
The Trust has been forced to abandon its "Transitioning in the
Workplace" policy which claimed that it was designed to "create a safe
and productive workplace environment for all". In fact it destroyed the
safe and productive environment for women in favour of catering to the
sick fantasies of a single man who claimed to be a woman.
Ridiculously, the Nursing and Midwifery Council has brought charges of misconduct against four of the nurses - they are guilty of "hate crime".
We can but hope that the woke Council will look at how much such an
attitude has cost Durham and Darlington Trust and decide that being
trendy is a bit too expensive a pastime to be worth pursuing.
Or perhaps they can look at the Good Book and remember that when God
made humans "male and female created He them" - not 197 genders (or
whatever the latest figure is) but just two.

The problem with your post is that these are not your real reasons. I imagine that you don't give a damn about the 4 nurses, and are only a
bit more worried about the NHS wasting money.
You are anti-trans for honestly held religious reasons. That is aI advanced both because both are relevant.

On the contrary, I feel deep sympathy for these women forced to undress
and dress in front of a bearded man - and then threatened with wholly
bogus claims of "hate crime" just because they protested. If the
government is serious about reforming the NHS, its first step should be
to sack everyone who is not medical, maintenance or cleaning staff.
There would be fewer dead babies, for instance, if those mis-managers
had all be sacked ten years ago.

And you couldn't re-recruit them, because you've sacked HR.

I was staying out of this thread but where is your evidence that the
nurses were force to change in front of a bearded man?-a In the pictures I've seen, Rose Henderson is unbearded.
But I thought you would be in total support of a bearded person being in
a female changing room if they were a trans man, after all they would be biologically female.

I decline to comment about your hormone levels, but I can assure you
that at the end of a long shift I am distinctly bearded, even if clean- shaven at the start.

I suggest you try and keep up with the news as reported in the national press. Doing so would save you embarrassing yourself with foolish comments.
It's a perfectly legitimate question, if people such as yourself are insisting trans folk should use changing rooms appropriate to their biological sex then you should have no issue with a trans man using aI have no idea how the nurses would have reacted. Possibly they would

The mentally ill ones are the ones making a heck of a fuss about
nothing? Is that your point?
Actually, it's not a fuss about nothing. It's an opportunity to weep crocodile tears and get lots of compo.Again, despicable.

Does the NHS recognise transgenderism as a mental illness?

What does that have to do with anything? Many things are not recognised
as mental illnesses until well down the line. The definition of mental illness is constantly being updated (and not always for the better.
After all, at one time homosexuality was considered a mental illness!)
Transgenderism isn't exactly new. Surgery was first performed in 1930,Lobotomies were also performed back in the 1930s. Does that somehow
so your claim that it's a mental illness is an opinion, somehow stated
as fact.

It says a lot about you that you can describe women being forced to
undress in front of a man as "a fuss about nothing". That is a
despicable comment that only a man would make.
I presume you would be
delighted to undress in front of women and flaunt yourself at them,
but
women - apart from professionals who are paid for doing so - do not want
to undress in front of men.

It's not at all despicable. People have different ideas of prudishness.
I'm quite sure half the women complaining walk around swimming pools in bikinis, which is more undressed than they are in a work changing room.
If they are nurses, they must be very very familiar with seeing men undressed.
I presume you would be delighted to undress in front of women and

Now, that IS a despicable comment. You should be ashamed of yourself - particularly as a moderator.
Have you not heard of naturism? It's not everyone's thing, but it's perfectly natural and normal.
Nothing made them sue the health authority except pure greed.
