No, dear, you couldn't be her patient, because you don't have a uterus

13 November 2023: “Appointment of trans woman as boss of womb charity ‘worrying and insulting’ Endometriosis South Coast accused of ‘failing women’ after it hired Steph Richards who has repeatedly clashed with women’s rights advocates”

She certainly set right to work.

Trans-identified man who was appointed as head of an endometriosis charity compares a female nurse who doesn't want to take her clothes off in front of a male colleague to a convicted child killer. https://t.co/v1Rz7e0x8e

Full text of this miserable, confused person’s post:

I did not sleep well last night. I suddenly thought about what Dr Beth Upton said about nurse Sandie Peggie, which left her "upset and afraid." I suddenly thought: "That nurse could be looking after me." Many trans people won't access NHS healthcare for fear of embarrassment, fear of "what people will say or think" in the first place, but now we have gender-critical people to consider. Can you imagine the likes of JK Rowling or Maya Forstater being a nurse given their views on trans people? Or how about Helen Joyce, the woman who proudly held aloft a ripped LGBT+ Progress flag while trampling the section representing trans people underfoot? Did she not suggest there should be fewer trans people? People like Rowling, Forstater and Joyce exist and work in the NHS - their views are even legally protected! Being trans will be on our health record - but being GC won't be on theirs. So if the shoe is "on the other foot", for example, a trans healthcare professional would not know if someone was GC, but it doesn't work the other way around. , And before the neutral (not to mention the transphobes) scream at this post saying health professionals take an oath, so did Lucy Letby, convicted of killing a dozen babies, and Ian Paterson, who carried out some 20 unapproved mastectomies and got 20 years.

(I had to look up the word to see what kind of medical facility Mr. Richards works at — I hope he didn’t have to resort to the same remedy for ignorance) “Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside of the uterus. It can cause pelvic pain, painful periods, and infertility.”)
