NatWest to Pay for Hormone Treatment For Trans Staff

by Toby Young
21 August 2022 7:00 AM

Not to be outdone by the Halifax and it’s policy of encouraging staff to declare their gender pronouns on their name tags, NatWest will pay for transgender staff to get privately-funded hormone treatment from next month as part of an overhaul aimed at making the bank more inclusive. The Telegraph has more.

The bank, which earlier this year said branch staff could display their favoured pronouns and phonetic name spellings on new environmentally friendly bamboo badges, said it was “challenging the status quo” and overhauling its policies to better suit trans customers and staff.

Its package of changes includes adding trans healthcare services to its private healthcare plan from September, which will mean that gender identity support, hormone treatment and counselling will be made available for workers.

It has also reviewed the wording of its employment policies to “ensure language and scenarios are LGBT+ inclusive” and changed its absence and sick leave rules to include time off for people who are transitioning, a spokesman confirmed.

The move comes as the banking sector tries to shake-off its “pale, male and stale” image in an effort to attract a younger and more diverse workforce.

The changes at NatWest come years after Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs told London staff they can have free sex-change surgery and fertility treatments, months after it became the first company in the U.K. to offer to ship working mothers’ breast milk home if they work overseas.

NatWest’s decision earlier this year to introduce pronoun badges for branch staff has caused some of its high street rivals to follow suit.

Halifax, which went on to also add pronoun badges, became embroiled in a row over the matter after it told customers that they can close their accounts if they disagreed with its stance. Responding to critics, Halifax said the badges prevented “accidental misgendering”.

Formerly known as the Royal Bank of Scotland, NatWest almost brought down Britain’s financial system in 2008 when it was bailed out by the government for £45 billion after then-chancellor Alistair Darling was told it was within hours of running out of money.

Worth reading in full.

Andrew Doyle presented a very fair analysis of the Cass report on GB news last night. The biggest victims are the children. The second biggest group of victims have been gay people, especially lesbians who have been criticised by Stonewall for not accepting men who now identify as women into lesbian only groups.
The fear is that children who would go on to be gay are being forced to ‘change’ their sex instead and this is supported by Stonewall who were originally started to support gay people.

Yes, quite. It’s like a form of gay conversion for the older kids. Many who ‘trans’ are same-sex attracted anyway but because the whole ideology opposes homo/heterosexuality and instills confusion to vulnerable young minds, by this warped logic it is deemed better to be trans, and on they go on their pathway to royally screwing up their health and lives. The greatest shame, in my opinion, is the fact that parents are also swept up in this madness and actively encourage younger kids and teens through this whole shitshow. It’s within the parents’ power to make or break this entire process. I can understand young kids and vulnerable people, such as mentally ill or autistic people, being more easily brainwashed but the parents too?? I’m a parent and it’s like these people are a species from a different planet.
And as for the adults, ( predominantly men ) it’s like the meme says; ”So let me get this straight. You hate women but you want to become one?” Make it make sense.

My fear, as always, is the 6% of the population who are sexually attracted to children. We have fought this group out of the Church, Care homes, Schools, Sports and Social groups and the Overseas charities and many went to live abroad.
By making Trans yet another subject which cannot be questioned we enable this group to get closer to the vulnerable children to harm them. Based on a population of 80million this would be 6 million people.
I think this explains the fight back against Cass and the use of outside charities and other groups to infiltrate the schools and to go for the very young.

I can’t resist the temptation to leaven what is a very serious subject by an image that springs to mind whenever I read about this topic. 40 years or so ago, I saw, scrawled on a public urinal wall, ‘My mother made me a homosexual’. Under it in totally different handwriting was written ‘If I buy her the wool, will she make me one?’

Stonewall should have its charitable status removed, all public funding stopped and proscribed as a terrorist organisation.

I’ve cancelled my monthly direct debit to this organisation as of this morning. I’ll put extra items in the local food bank boxes instead.

Just seen an advert asking for donations to the RNLI. The only people to fund them now are surely just the woke left and the ignorant.

I hope this is true, but my sceptical mind wonders how they could find enough volunteers to work FOC to operate the taxis 24/7 not to mention the cost of fuel and maintenance.

I used to regularly donate to them – over several years – but cancelled my support a couple of years ago. I’ve better things to spend my money on.
