Doctors call Supreme Court gender ruling ‘scientifically illiterate’

  1. Glad to see doctors standing up for the diversity of humans. Sex is mostly binary, a standard human being is one or other, but there are lots of intersex conditions and the people who are born with them are very much real.

    Insisting that intersex people live as one or other is, irony of ironies, like forcing them to be transgender.

  2. >The doctors claimed that a binary divide between sex and gender “has no basis in science or medicine while being actively harmful to transgender and gender-diverse people”.

  3. You know you’ve fucked up when the BMA say you’re wrong.

    But if they want only biological women in women’s areas, then that technically means trans men would be in women’s areas if it was properly implemented

  4. Even the way this article is written is so biased against trans people. The Times doing everything in their power to undermine the statement: constantly bringing up their old name as “junior doctors”, giving a lengthy statement to that Sex Matters group and referring to the previous vote against Cass by them as “turmoil”. Its so slanted…

  5. Do doctors not make plenty of money from Trans people? Obviously some are going to say that.

  6. The usual diabolical reporting from a right wing newspaper. Quoting Helen Joyce et al and the Tories and little from the opposite view.

  7. The problem is with the way the law is written. And the original lead on it, Melanie Field, made a very measly, ill-challenged defence of the intent of the act when interviewed by Paul Brand on LBC.

    If it wasn’t for the poor quality of the work she and her team produced, we wouldn’t be having this conversation now and the Supreme Court wouldn’t have been put into the position of having to highlight their complete fuck up.

    The fact that team can’t even face up to the responsibility they owe is pretty telling.

  8. Another Trumpian attack on the independence of the judiciary. /s

  9. A few trans activist doctors. Next piece of fake news please.
