Yeo stepping in to to answer this, politely asked btw 36 minutes ago, The Guv'nah said: Why would you bring up reality and common sense on this forum? Tagging you in the answer too, but I'd like to encourage you to go f*ck yourself. Being trans would change dosages absolutely, but thats not the only factor, things like your weight, other medication your on etc would also change that. You would need to inform the doctors you are transgender to get the correct treatment. But it's not like theres one set dose for le man and one for le woman. Regardless this is about the wards you stay on, theres no reason trans women should be forced to go to a mens ward. 7 1 1
Leppie Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) What trash comments so far on this thread This has nothing to do with dosages and "walking on egg shells" ... it has everything to do with the government trying to start a culture war to win votes. Edited October 5, 2023 by Leppie 3 1

Not sure if this is true or not, I'm not educated enough to comment or not, however this story is about which WARD patients are treated in. Even if there are different medicines for men and women, female medicines and dosages are still available for patients in the male ward and vice versa 1

It'll be me and my trans sisters who end up not going to hospital because we don't feel safe because they'll be trying to throw us on a mens ward. Really getting tired now. I never wanted to be trans, I just am a woman. I'm so tired of having to fight for the most basic things. 9 1
Kayseri Mantisi Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 The replies in here are so weird so far. They're all hate motivated. I literally get warned for joking about a “fanbase” but replies like this aren't getting directly banned or restricted from posting for a while? 1 1

Let alone that sex segregated wards are a unique British function that differs from the norm in the US and Canada (whose hospitals themselves rarely have wards anymore and opt for private roomsI. Let alone that overcrowding already allows for the hospitals within the NHS to create mixed-sex wards when needed based on patient occupancy. A cis woman is like 1000x more likely to end up in the same ward as a cis man due to over-crowding than end up next to a trans woman (who herself is just getting to get in better health) by virtue of how few trans people there are. Though I do appreciate @spree acknowledging that they had no clue from the beginning what a ward was and asked to be corrected. Sex segregation of hospital wards in the UK has nothing to do with medical treatment, and largely has been a discussion in the UK it seems over the last 2 decades over patient privacy and safety. The ward that someone is in is not dictating the treatment they get but more closely related to the bathroom discussions that have dominated in the past. If placing a trans woman in a female ward is allegedly disruptive and distressing to other female patients, what exactly is the imagined scenario and result of placing her in a male ward with men?

If that had absolutely anything to do with this proposal, trans men would be banned from male wards too using that (very flawed) logic, but the proposal is once again only targeting trans women. The irony of you talking about common sense when something so obvious and simple went straight over your head

Badger Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 I don’t see the point of having separate wards for men and women. The way things are going it’s like we might as well completely segregate the sexes everywhere.
glitch Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 I doubt they'll be around long enough to enact half of these new policies they're suggesting. It's very easy to say you'll do things when you know you have basically one year left running the government. A culture war is the only hope they have of salvaging some votes. Shame it always seems to come to this instead of focusing on actual issues like the cost of living crisis, the mess of privatised water companies, housing and public transport schemes.
