Hospitals Record Newborn Babies’ “Gender Identity” Instead of Sex

by Richard Eldred
26 November 2023 3:00 PM

Newborn babies are only given the option to have their “gender identity” recorded rather than their biological sex when they are discharged from some London hospitals. The Mail has more.

Midwives filling in forms for babies born at London’s Guy’s and Thomas’ Hospital and King’s College Hospital only have the option to select “gender identity” on a new £450 million IT system. …

Women’s rights campaigners said the move was yet another chilling sign of transgender activism’s influence within the NHS that has led to rows over other language changes such as removing the word ‘women’ or ‘mother’ from some health services.

Hospitals have always kept official records of babies’ biological sex. The discharge summaries contain vital health information about the birth and form part of a patient’s permanent NHS health record. The forms are sent to the child’s GP, health visitors and other hospitals for post-natal care.

But a whistle-blowing midwife working at the two London hospitals said they had been forced to record a child’s “gender identity” instead of sex on the forms in recent weeks. 

The changes came in as part of a new computer system called EPIC went live across several London teaching hospitals. At least six more NHS trusts nationwide are to roll out the system, which will cost taxpayers £450 million over the next 15 years. …

The whistle-blower said NHS wokery had led to a “climate of fear” among some midwives. Medics are encouraged to use the term “birthing parent” rather than ‘mother’ and discuss “chest-feeding” instead of ‘breast-feeding’.

Worth reading in full.
