Women’s rights campaigners and health experts today welcomed Steve Barclay’s commitment to fight wokery and restore “common sense” in the NHS by blocking gender neutral language and men on female wards. The Mail has the story.
The Health Secretary detailed the move in a speech at the Tory Party conference as he slammed the “unacceptable” use of gender-neutral language on advice pages for female-only conditions like cervical cancer.
Sex-specific language has now been “fully restored” on offending health sections as a result of his intervention, he announced.
Mr. Barclay also boasted that he had stopped the NHS from “ordering staff to declare pronouns to each new patient”.
As part of his speech in Manchester, Mr. Barclay revealed he was “going further” as he unveiled proposals to ban trans women — biological men who identify as being the opposite gender — using female-only hospital wards.
He argued it was “vital women’s voices are heard” and the “privacy, dignity and safety of all patients are protected”.
Trans-inclusive terms like ‘chestfeeding’ and ‘birthing person’ have crept into usage within hospitals and medical settings over the past few years despite backlash from campaigners and health experts.
“We know what a woman is, and I know the vast majority of NHS staff and patients do too,” Mr Barclay said.
“That is why I ordered a reversal of unacceptable changes to the NHS website that erased women for conditions such as cervical cancer, and stopped the NHS from ordering staff to declare pronouns to each new patient.”
Outside the conference hall, Mr. Barclay added: “We need a commonsense approach to sex and equality issues in the NHS – that is why today I am announcing proposals for clearer rights for patients.
“And I can today confirm that sex-specific language has now been fully restored to online health advice pages about cervical and ovarian cancer and the menopause.
“It is vital women’s voices are heard in the NHS and the privacy, dignity and safety of all patients are protected.”

Most people still haven’t heard of the Great Barrington Declaration.
Journalists (present company excepted) are dead. Science isn’t getting the oxygen it needs.
Dark times indeed.
Yes, real science is probably dead and so is real journalism. So both professions that are supposed to seek-out the truth are now fighting those who do this.
This is not what one would describe as a positive development for civilization.
I look forward to watching the whole video. Thanks for covering this event!

I like the gentle dig he took at the Gates Foundation.
His characterisation of them calling around to discourage scientists from speaking up against lockdowns as “strange” felt like there was more he could have said but preferred not to.
What a menace to society that organisation is.
If Bill Gates were to get offed, Epstein stylee, what would happen with his foundation? Would it continue its sinister work? 🤔
I despair that so few of my friends have heard of the Gt Barrington Declaration. Where have they been? It was Lockdown Sceptics that highlighted it for me and I signed. It was so obvious from say 3-4 months into 2020 that we were being taken for a ride. I know many saw it earlier. Sad to reflect that there are still many living under the illusion that the “Great Lockdown” was a “Good Thing” (anybody remember 1066 and all that?).
Even when, in March 2020, COVID-19 was no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK.
I have refused the vaccination and I’m damn glad I did now, even though it cost me in terms of being unable to visit an elderly relative in Norway until September 2021 – and even then I had to go into quarantine.
We have been totally taken for a ride by our Government, WHO, pharmaceutical companies and The Gates Foundation, inter alia. I’m bemused that the Valneva vaccination (a “dead” vaccine) contract was cancelled by Javid (resulting in a huge compensation to Valneva). WHY? I can only assume that it was because of pressure from the likes of Pfizer…Can’t have competition, can we? To say I’m spitting feathers would be an understatement.
For Pfizer, it’s not enough to be given immunity. They have acted like this since the late 1960s
The Great Barrington Declaration, signed by a million lay people, thousands of doctors, researchers and scientists. The authors, three of the smartest minds, who risked their livelihoods, prestigious professorships to help all of us. Countless state governors in the USA have asked for their advice and incorporated the advice into legislation. One has to wonder why people like Justin Trudeau, Boris Johnson, Sage, NIH, FDA, MHRA, Macron,Draghi, Ursula Leyden did not follow their advice.
Did anyone hear Kuldorff give a valid reply to Toby’s question ? Full credit to him for posing so much resistance to pandemic politics, and yet … he seems far to respectful of the ‘vaccine endpoint’ and seems to accept vaccine efficacy without references to live trial evidence :/
