NHS Asks Patients to Choose From 12 Genders, 10 Sexual Preferences and 159 Religions

by Richard Eldred
7 January 2024 11:00 AM


The NHS is facing criticism for asking patients to choose from a vast array of options regarding religion, gender and sexual preferences during online registration. The Telegraph has the details.

NHS patients are being asked to choose from 159 religions, 12 genders and 10 sexual preferences before they attend hospital appointments.

Critics said the data collection was “bizarre” and “confusing” with those trying to navigate the health service being asked if they are a Goddess, Satanist or Druid before they access care.

Patients’ groups described the system as “wokery to the nth degree” saying the “complex and intrusive” questions would leave users baffled, and raise concerns about personal security.

The questions are asked when patients register with an online portal which enables them to access their hospital appointment details, test results and medical records, before attending NHS outpatient appointments.

Patients are directed to a section on their personal information to fill in their details, with repeated reminders for those who do not oblige.

“Gender identity” options to choose from include genderfluid, questioning, agender, non-binary, demiboy and demigirl, as well as male and female. 

Patients are also offered a menu of “sexual preferences”, including pansexual, bisexual, gay, heterosexual, lesbian, queer, questioning, unsure or asexual – or a combination of these – to choose from.

They are also asked to select their “sex assigned at birth” and “legal sex” from the options of male, female or indeterminate.

Patients using the service criticised the questions as being “bizarre, confusing and intrusive”. …

The questions are asked as part of the registration process for MyChart, an online service which patients are asked to sign up to prior to attending outpatient appointments.

Worth reading in full.

How about ‘where does it hurt’? and ‘what seems to be the problem’? Or, ‘let me just check your vitals’?

Why do people tolerate being d!cked around like this? Access to health care should NOT depend on possession of a (working) computer, internet connection, phone or anything else. When some apparatchik insists you have to go online, the response is ” I am unable to do so. Please give me your name so that I can report your discrimination to the appropriate authorities”.

Just lie. Too poor to buy a computer, don’t know how to use one, cat broke it, need new glasses, arthritis in fingers, whatever. Cite disability legislation. Write a paper letter, send it tracked. Complying with these stupidities just makes it worse.

for my physical therapy appointments during the totalitarian mask and do you have any symptoms phase they would ask you to sign up on your ‘smart’ phone for the green app or whatever it was called . i just said i don’t have one or something and then all they did was ask the silly questions when i arrived for my appointment do you have any symptoms etc and i was in . but every one else was complying as usual.

yes we all need to stop complying also with this my chart . they have it in the usa too, i left that worthless drs and don’t use it for new one.
i s impossible to use. and do not want to. and what stupid questions for the nhs form, the worst is they wont let you not answer . complete totalitarianism

If everyone stopped complying with this nonsense we could stop this nonsense.

Agree, but that’ll never happen. Almost the entirety of Gen Z, and many Gen Y, support this nonsense without question. That’s the sticking point of pushback against all this woke BS – there’s a huge swathe of the population – all lefties, who will be perennially wet behind the ears – that genuinely believe that all this crap is fantastic. They’re mentally incapable of seeing the bigger picture because their short-term, myopic, vision of life does not allow them to. They’ll never mature past the late teenage stage. The best thing we can do, I believe, is to have the courage to say what we really think, regardless of company or environment. By doing so we can embolden others to do the same, and once there is enough momentum the whole sh*tshow should come crashing down like the house of cards it is.

Do any of these choices influence treatment?
I suspect a doctor will look for physical symptoms. The only possible link to diagnosis might be for determining whether they have some sort of psychiatric affliction.

Will I be criminalised when I refuse to comply?

My gender is irrelevant. My sex is self-evident. My religion is private and my sexual preferences are nobody’s but mine and my partners to know about.

Actually a semi functioning health service would be a step in the right direction but I suppose that would be considered greedy.

Left unchecked, the requirement of a smartphone or internet connection to access vital healthcare is a “thin-end-of-a-wedge” that could lead to a crippling bureaucratic barricade developing between the patient and the actual health care he or she requires.

More than any other service, health care is critically dependent upon human-to-human interaction and consultation. While online registration services are helpful to expedite potentially cumbersome and time-consuming processes, when it comes to the mission creep of technology like smartphone apps, it is a whole different story.

A dystopian vision of the future springs to mind where one can’t access healthcare through their “Health” app, because their “Credit Score” app has automatically disabled it as the user has fallen below the minimum threshold.
Maybe I’m being paranoid simply because I despise phone apps displacing our ability to think for ourselves and run our lives for us.

But I suspect my pathological hatred for such technology is there for good reason.

”Satanist”

Good of them to provide a category for politicians, “public health” fascists, “Green” billionaires, “vaccine” salesmen, etc

It wouldn’t surprise me if the people who developed this app were all assigned indeterminate sex at birth and if nobody, not even themselves, has meanwhile managed to work out if they’re actually male or female instead of not really either of both.

What business does the NHS have with people’s religion or sexual preferences?

The latest technobureaurcratic snare I have just triggered is the voice/facial recognition system. To get a routine prescription that I have had for a decade I now had to register a short video of myself reading out numbers, along with a scan of my passport or car licence. Pedantically, it was not obligatory but not doing so might “introduce delays into providing your medication”. Am I getting forgetful, or were we told at the time that they were introduced that car licence photographs would not be shared outside DVLC (other than to the police), or that in the 1960s(?) we introduced the first data protection acts which heavily restricted or banned what personal information could or could not be shared, because baby-boomers were scared of Big Brother and these new-fangled “computers”? Nowadays, (as FL points out below) Generation Z happily ticks the box labelled “I have read the terms and conditions” about data sharing, followed by “Submit” as routine part of life. I doubt they wade through screenfuls of explanations about where personal information goes to!

Lots of early promise about data protection, but all that’s happened is we now have coercion to agree to it all, otherwise no service. So it’s not data protection, at all, it’s forced sharing. I don’t agree with electronic medical records, therefore I presume I am not entitled to see a doctor.

In my earlier incarnation as an IT consultant in the Blair Era I wound up working with a newly-created NHS Trust who were commissioning a joint IT system that linked health records (notably mental health records) with local authority social services records. The rationale was that mental health diagnosis is largely based on subjective assessments of behaviour of potential patients made by social workers. This was touted as “Early Intervention” because psychiatric models (beloved of behavioural psychologists, but hated by the molecular psychiatrists) of human eccentric behaviour were allegedly able to predict future behaviour of a more serious nature including child abuse, spousal abuse, assaults and murder. Other medical people objected to the merger of the data, partly on grounds of medical confidentiality and partly on the grounds of misleading reporting by social workers, who tended to naively record as factual the paranoid delusions and false memories of their customers. I do not know whether the system was ever actually brought into service. What was clear was that, regardless of technology, there was a “dark web” (off-server records, emails, letters, lunches, golf clubs …) by which information and disinformation could be exchanged regarding individuals or collective “nudging” of opinions of the populace. The change didn’t really need new technology, merely an abandonment of concepts of privacy and instead an embracing of “the common good” or “noble corruption”, concepts which were widespread in medical and social care circles around that time.
I am not convinced that clicking a button saying “I do not consent” has any beneficial effect in practice, thought it might make the patient “feel safer”, which is today’s target!

Some staff at the NHS obviously have way too much time on their hands. I guess it gives patients something to do during the extended wait times they have to endure
