A hospital has told staff to use terms like 'birthing parents' and 'human milk' rather than just referring to 'mothers' and 'breast milk' so transgender people are not offended.
That tiny minority.
Or rather, the even tinier minority who aren't content simply to get on with their new lives but insist everyone should be talking about them and following their societal-changing demands 24/7/365. A minority so tiny you'd need a scanning electron microscope to spot them amongst the teeming multitudes.
Except, as is so often, it's enthusiastically embraced, enhanced and promulgated by the progressives who have infected every single public sector organisation, and are rapidly moving to conquer the private sector now:
Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust unveiled a blizzard of 'gender inclusive' phrases in a drive to stamp out 'mainstream transphobia'.
What is 'mainstream transphobia'? Are trans people being hunted down in the street and burned at the stake by a howling mob? Are they being routinely denied human rights, denied jobs, housing, etc?
Of course not. So - as is common with all movements - in order to keep themselves in comfortable jobs, the organisations that claim to represent their needs focus on smaller and smaller 'issues'.
Other changes include replacing the use of the word 'woman' with the phrase 'woman or person', and the term 'father' with 'parent', 'co-parent' or 'second biological parent', depending on the circumstances.
And the wave of fury from the people who find their identities erased to ensure that this tiny minority can claim a 'victory' may well usher in genuine 'transphobia'. In the same way the sight of a rabid dog promotes 'caniphobia'...for self-defence!
The move was welcomed by inclusivity campaigners. Campaign group TransActual tweeted: 'This is fantastic, well done. Let's hope many more trusts follow suit. Everybody deserves to be treated with dignity and respect.'
Except when - in doing what you believe will achieve this - you are actually creating the thing you claim to be fighting...
These idiots, like so many, just don't realise. By loudly demanding special treatment of their assumed differences and the associated victimhood they also antagonise those who otherwise would peacefully ignore their differences and let them get on with their lives as they wish.

ReplyDeleteThey can all eff off and get knotted.
Being of an advanced age I don't expect to be subjected to this shit for a lot longer, but, wandering through my village this afternoon I realised that some of (perhaps many) of the children may well be still around in the next century. I despair to think of the sort of world envisaged by the wokeists they will be living in.
ReplyDeleteYou would think those working in a hospital would realise that there is only XX and XY in the human population and there is no way to change that no matter what you do, changing words is totally meaningless.
ReplyDeleteI have to assume this diktat is from some administrator that has never been near the hospital he administers and is just doing this as a virtue signalling exercise while he looks for a job with higher pay.
You have to remember that there is a whole taxpayer funded industry built upon this nonsense. Generating more and more angst is just drumming up business.
ReplyDeleteRather than blathering on about verbal bullshit in order to pander to the more extreme members of the transcult* I'd rather see the NHS not kill or mistreat the patients they are supposed to be caring for.
ReplyDelete*In my experience there is a big difference between the activists of the trans cult who want the bloody moon on a stick and bog standard ordinary trans types who just want to be left alone in peace.
I look forward to the youtube video of the first proud trans-woman squeezing a baby out of his Jap's eye and raising it to his/her/its chemically produced and silicon enhanced chest to suckle...
ReplyDeleteBrighton and large parts of Sussex are now naught but the world's largest alfresco lunatic asylum.
ReplyDelete"These idiots, like so many, just don't realise."
ReplyDeleteI don't think so, I think they just believe they'll win. And we know history is written by the winners.
"I despair to think of the sort of world envisaged by the wokeists they will be living in."
Looking at the latest crop from 'cancel culture', I share your pessimism.
"You would think those working in a hospital would realise that there is only XX and XY in the human population..."
I don't think we're recruiting from the people who have been educated any more.
"You have to remember that there is a whole taxpayer funded industry built upon this nonsense."
Indeed! Got into a Facebook scrap with a NHS 'Diversity Coordinator' who dropped an incendiary post into the local community group, and didn't like being told she was a parasite on my taxes 🤣
"...I'd rather see the NHS not kill or mistreat the patients they are supposed to be caring for."
That, sadly, seems beyond them.
