it had to 'protect staff from unacceptable distress'.

something tells me the woman who needed the life-saving surgery is IN UNACCEPTABLE DISTRESS

Also... it's a fucking hospital. Distress is part of the job. If your staff can't handle distress then what the fuck are they doing in that field?

What's the word for being justifiably afraid of something? It's not a phobia.

Sanity?

99.9% chance the MtF caught wind of the single sex request and specifically inserted himself into the situation.

It very much sounds like that. She was having an intimate examination, where the door should be closed. Yet this bloke sticks his head in unprompted and causes a scene? The whole thing smells of a set-up. I honestly think it could backfire on them though, since intimate care is one of the few situations that the EHRC felt the need to highlight as an acceptable reason to actually separate by sex.

They are perpetually obsessed with finding specific cases where they know they aren't welcome and trying to get in so they can cry about phobias. They almost always get their way, which is why they HATE "terfs" so much. It was one of the extremely rare cases where they didn't get their way... But now that term has lost all meaning because they call anyone who disagrees with them in the most minor ways possible a "terf".

This is a private hospital too. They’re supposed to cater to every whim of their paying patients as they’re charging them vast sums of money. It’s very strange.

Almost as if that's not what privatisation actually delivers.

Hollywood studios are private companies, how much of their content is stuff their customers actually want?

In the real world privately owned business can be just as easily driven by the wants of individuals within them as the market. Especially when they are selling something people can't do without like healthcare, have more money than their competitors or have a near monopoly.

We're seeing this now because streaming is almost completely removed from the old revenue streams. People will pay for a service with a bunch of gay shit on it even if they aren't watching it because other stuff is on there. If you had to sell DVDs or movie tickets directly it would be a different story. As most LGBT film won't pull anywhere near the numbers that some random lowbrow comedy will.

I wouldn't want a trannny in a position to touch my coochie in the hospital.

Women, especially white women, in modernized western countries have been the biggest supporters of globohomo. Much like gay rights activists, feminists and feminist aligned women got what they wanted and decided to be sore winners and keep pushing for and supporting increasingly insane ideas.

Of course what happened at the hospital is insane. Just like anywhere else where the rights and safety of women take a backseat to troon narcissism.

But, women did this to themselves to a large degree, so my sympathy can only go so far. Society was reworked to the point where many of them got to live life on easy mode while screaming about being oppressed. Now that they are experiencing actual oppression from men in dresses and the people who enable them, they still don’t seem to grasp the real root of the problem.

And of course the TRAs have trotted out their favourite argument "But what if they requested not to be near black people?". My man, you are comparing a racist to a sexual assault victim. That is not the winning argument you seem to think it is

Yeah, you can't have a special "all girl hospital," though. Not a real thing.

London Bridge has fallen. Genderology looks like it has completely taken over the U.K.
