Comment on NHS charter to stress biological sex when placing patients in wards

  No, it’s to make women who assume they will be raped feel safe. Men don’t just rape women because they’re in the same room. They don’t change gender to improve their rape opportunities either.

    Oh no no, if I’m even in the same room as a woman alone as a cis male I’m obligated to rape a woman

      This shit is so blatantly and openly misandrist, I can’t even imagine growing up as a boy hearing this rhetoric thrown around how you’re just a monster and you can’t prove otherwise, spread by what you would assume at first are kind old ladies on the street.

  Trans women aren’t men so that’s irrelevant here.

    There is a reason why hospitals have “sex” instead of “gender” on their paperwork because gender is fucking useless now

        Biologically trans women ARE men. You obviously cared somewhere along the line till it comes to something that actually matters

      I always say female anyway and so do all trans women I know. I specify “biological” if asked because I’m not a cyborg either. This isn’t some gotcha you think it is and idc what other dogwhistles you invent. Cope and seethe.

  so, the only way to address the problem of sexual violence in hospitals is just to divide the population in two? this is just like the bathroom bullshit. if you’re assuming that trans women are rapists, you are a transphobe. if you’re assuming that sex-segregated wards are a useful deterrent to rape, you’re an idiot. the thing stopping people from hurting patients in the hospital is the hospital. the staff, the doors, the nurses, the help buttons beside each bed, the check-ins by doctors and nurses.
