Today I asked a question on the dangers of ideology distorting accurate NHS data. As biological sex influences everything from diagnosis to treatment, accurate sex data is essential for safe and appropriate healthcare. But - guess what - not everyone agrees. In fact, a few even resorted to suggesting... show more

If the continued existence of *a word for female people* is the subject of a "culture war" - I'm gonna fight that war. Hard.
The establishment is riddled with lies, obfuscation, and ideology.
"Gender...is a grammatical term only. To talk of persons...of the masculine or feminine gender, meaning of the male or female sex, is either a jocularity (permissible or not according to context) or a blunder." -H. W. Fowler, 1926
Well done @Fox_Claire keep up your important work.
It's interesting how whenever anything is demanded under the aegis of 'trans rights' they trot out the line "there is no conflict between trans rights and women's rights," but whenever anyone stands up for women's rights there suddenly is a conflict, and a "culture war." 🙄
Can’t believe the Lords, let alone the government is falling over themselves to pander to an ideology 🙄
Biological sex HAS to be recorded. On GP record we have biological sex on main page but a pop up appears if they've 'chosen' something else. Really important with regard to drug doses,metabolism & side effects
Jackie Smith- wondered where she went. Useless in Parliament now milking the system in the Lords🤦🏻♀️
No definition for 'gender', 'gender identity' or who the people under the "+" are in LGBT+. Please keep asking. If you are going to use these terms, expect to be called out on them.
@mc_simmy I am sick to death of Labour dismissing this war on women's rights as cultural, not political.
![Right to Recovery Treatment evidence sessions in Scottish Parliament with Third Sector With You and The Salvation Army. What wording should replace “addiction” in the Bill to ensure people can access treatment without requiring a formal diagnosis? @GraemeCall78170 instead of answering his reply focuses on systemic access issues and the limitations of the Bill’s scope. Dr Sandesh Gulhane reminds him that the bill has narrow scope due to it not being a government bill and has to ask again about the use of the word addiction. Director of Addictions of The Salvation Armysays, "I think to give it a word or a title, it’s a really difficult thing". (Yes, its like a scene from the Ministry of Funny Walks) only none of this is funny, but deadly serious. Dr Sandesh Gulhane "Just on the point of addiction being used as a diagnosis, we heard from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, it was clear that perhaps the word addiction is not the right word to be used, and I'm sure that Douglas Ross, who is he member in charge of the bill, would be looking into that. So if we were to amend this because we need to say that you have something, not necessarily a diagnosis, but what is it that we should be saying in, in your opinion, as a way to have the right to have a treatment. Is it simply you would like to receive treatment or what exactly would you suggest?" @GraemeCall78170 "I think it for us, it's always been about access, right, so treatment is there. We recognise as an organisation we have a full clinical offer in England, not in Scotland, so we understand the importance of clinical process processes and in certain circumstances diagnosis is absolutely critical because there are other things that are going on, underlying mental health, underlying physical problems, so we completely recognise that. But the reality of the system is that people can't get access to the system, it's not about treatment. So services like ours here, all we do is we try and find ways to navigate the system to try and get people to where they need to be. But a lot of people that we engage with don't need a medical intervention, they dont. They just some mutual aid, some support, they need some practical stuff around their housing. So I think it's the disappointing thing as I read the bill as it was presented, it did feel narrow to me. I can't deny that. And I think it didn't reflect the experiences that we have as organisation." Dr Sandesh Gulhane "Being a member's bill it does need to be very narrow. It's not a government bill. If it was a government bill, that that's fair enough that this really does need to have enough scope. But my question was, what wording would you use in instead of a diagnosis of addiction? What wording would you like to see for people who do want to access treatment?" Lee Ball [Director of Addictions, Salvation Army] "For me, I think it's the person's right to want treatment. I think to give it a word or a title, it’s a really difficult thing. I don't envy your job trying to come up with a word for this because there are so many words that have so many different meanings."](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1923046258106568839/amplify_video_thumb/1923045470848389120/img/LwHT-PKj8KCk_q4K.jpg)
