If they asked me what gender I was I’d ask them if they were a real doctor! Because a doctor that couldn’t tell what you are would be terrifying!
Quite right, Dings.
A research based clinician. Where did they go?
Probably cowering under their desks mulling over their, seemingly, once wise career decision!
You are referring to SEX. There is no proof that gender exists separate to biological sex
I’m “Questioning”. Questioning whether the people running these places are on feckin crack.
Fantastic
Why are we getting this nonsense, and why isn’t somebody stopping it?
1) Because it is part of the attack on European Christian civilisation that explains lots of other policies that appear to make no sense.
2) Because we’re not a democracy.

The shocking and twisted origins of Modern Gender Theory
And Historically, it’s Jewish learning from the Talmud.
The Eight Genders in the Talmud….. Its manifestation is what we see today…
https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/the-eight-genders-in-the-talmud/
“Judaism has recognized nonbinary persons for millennia”
https://therevealer.org/turning-to-the-talmud-to-find-gender-diversity-that-speaks-to-today/
Excerpt from the above…
“To return to the question with which I began, I believe that there are at least two answers as to why eunuchs and androgynes in rabbinic literature are suddenly seeing mainstream popularity, despite the fact that they are found in technical and often uninspiring sources. On the one hand, the popularity of eunuchs and androgynes directly correlates to the strength of these new movements in the study of the Talmud. The reason that mainstream Jewish and non-Jewish audiences are suddenly discovering these sources is because of the painstaking work of activists who are bringing those traditions to the fore.”
This article is about gender pandering, surely It cant all be blamed on Jews can it?
Can it…
All I know is after many years of digging, there’s a damn lot that would justify the finger pointing in that direction..
Start with the murder of 67.5 million(min) of us Gentiles between 1917 and 1950s in post Bolshevik Russia…..
I’m trying to get Varmint to answer the question from a week ago…
Who were the Bolsheviks??
Anyone care to answer????
I honestly don’t know mate, but I’ll try and find out the history.
There is so much more to learn about the intricacies of history and how its brought us to here
“how it’s brought to us”.
Absolutely
True, the Victorious write the history
Absolutely, Absolutely
Who’s the bankers pushing CBDCs and the bankers to the world’s central banks…..
When I was a very young man, I remember walking along with my grandfather, he used to look down at me and tell me who owned all the money in the world.. At the time I didn’t have a clue what he was on about…
But I do now
Is there anything the world could do to put all this right? I wish there was a good human way to right the wrongs!
Yes……. Awareness…… Its all been hidden, their ideologies promoted via the media, Hollywood that they own…
Do you think that awareness of each others frailties could eventually lead to a lasting peace?
So give a thumbs down but don’t answer.
Yep that’s what usually happens..
You don’t know, most don’t know, most don’t know because they’ve ensured you don’t know.
But EVERYONE knows about the 6 million Jews who perished under nazi regime..
Strange that isn’t it….. Have you never thought thats strange?. Obviously not
Fools and fanatics are always so certain but wiser ones so full of doubt. ———There is nothing funnier than brainwashed dreamers that think they know everything in the world that is true, rather than realising that it is just their opinion. ——–Anyway I am off to enjoy a game snooker with my good mate
The irony is that YOU’RE the fanatic here…
You’ve been brainwashed by the exact people’s I’m talking about, only have to read your diatribes to see that.
You’ve swallowed every narrative thats been thrown at you, didn’t even need to ram them down your throat, your gob was fully open…. Muppet
I truly feel sorry for you mate. You are sad individual. I have consistently attacked many orthodoxies on here. ——The climate bollox gets ripped to bits by me on a daily basis. So does wokery, political correctness and all the gender bollox. To suggest I “swallow stuff down my throat” is absurd.———-You are seriously deluded if you think you are the only contributor to this website that knows what’s true in the world and that anyone with a different opinion to you is a “muppet”——I feel sorry for you that you have got yourself into such a state. Perhaps you need treatment. ——I seriously don’t care how many Jews killed people in Russia 100 years ago. I seriously don’t care how many Spanish , Portuguese or British took advantage of people 200 years ago. I don’t care how many people Germans killed 80 years ago and I do not hold that against Germans currently alive today. ———-But I do care about the people that are a danger to me and this country TODAY. The people that drive a truck into me on a bridge, the people that take rucksacks into pop concerts, the people that cut the heads off soldiers, the people that gang rape young girls in Rotherham, Telford and Oxford are NOT JEWS
Is there not one contributor on here that can or is willing to answer this question????
I know it’s risky, but iam at an age where I’m past caring.
I used to be very careful what I said, but not anymore, it’s imperative that it’s said, regardless of the consequences
I can’t answer, but I will listen! Sometimes..that’s more important
Dinger64..
I’ll be gone from here soon, please watch this, theres many more episodes, 12 hrs in total but I can assure you, it will change the way you veiw the world as it did me.
https://rumble.com/v3vbf80-europa-the-last-battle-part-1-the-financial-system.html
And if you feel it necessary please pass on to others.
Its funny but the 12 hrs starts with exactly what you said earlier..
History is written by the winners.
Take care
Can you only afford a fiver? —-Tatty bye Norman
Nope alot more than that, but I own principles, and I no longer wish to be on a forum where 90% have swallowed the msm narrative…. I can find that anywhere, it’s not what I look for.
I thought this might be the place but since 7th Oct some have flown their true colours…
As for the 6 pro articles on Kissinger… Unreal.. Joke.
See ya muppet
C’mon……..Where am I going to get my laughs from now? —–Please consider coming back again. Would you like a loan of a fiver? Infact keep the fiver , you don’t have to pay it back. ————-Ok then sorry to see you go Norman Wisdom —bye.
Sorry to hear that, I like to hear all sides of the argument it helps us all reach a balance
ha ha ha aha ah Good Morning Norman Wisdom………..You are the braindead hammer that sees everything as a nail. ——You are harping on about that crap even in other articles because with your obsession with the middle eastern sectarian clutter.
You’re just to thick to even contemplate the unspoken.
Can’t answer a question that relates to millions murdered Europe not that many decades ago..
You thick cnut
The millions murdered everywhere in the world is very sad. But that was all in the past. We cannot change any of that.—— For you though it is only Jews doing the murdering that is important. Muslims that took black slaves and castrated them, which is why you don’t see blacks running about all over the Arabian peninsula. is not important to you because like all activists who cherry pick, it does not fit in with your world view. You sweep atrocities by your favoured group under the carpet. You condone clitoris snipping, you are ok with homosexuals chucked from high buildings. You are fine with women stoned for alleged adultery or for men to rape them as long as the woman doesn’t have 4 male witnesses. You are ok with migrants all over Europe committing way more sex crimes and rapes than the indigenous populations and getting away with it, but your only focus is on Jews killing people 100 years ago and you think that justifies all of what I just pointed out………Go f..k yourself moron
Sex is a factor in matters medical, so asking for your sex makes sense. The fantasy of “gender identity” may have relevance to someone’s mental health, but seems unlikely to be related to outcomes regarding physical problems.
I would suspect this is as a result of the care in the community programme and policies that have now resulted in the lunatics running the asylum that is the blob.
I think the most appropriate response would be: ‘In case it has any relevance to my medical condition, I have this type of genitalia. Treat my medical condition accordingly’.
My ninety-four year old mother was interrogated by the Gauleiter behind the reception desk at her local surgery who at one point asked if she was pregnant. My mother snapped back, “I won’t know ’til Tuesday”. She may be stricken in years but her mind is still as sharp as a tack. The receptionist said that there was no need to be silly, which drew the inevitable response, “You started it dear”.
Excellent response what a gal!
Brilliant. What a Mum.
Bloody marvellous!
Exactly how we should all respond to this nonsense – show the questioners up for the fools they are!
The nonsense is, of course, that this exercise achieves nothing medically (where biological sex is the only significant thing) and nothing administratively, since they’re all going to be housed either on male/female or (sadly) unisex wards.
Patients will be addressed by the name on the bed, or “you”, and the magic pronouns will only be useful when talking to relatives or, I suppose, other staff about “him.” Since such conversations are likely about important medical facts and life-changing decisions, the least useful thing to be doing is referring to the patient notes every minute to check you’re using the right pronouns.
By making you answer the question on their terms, they’re making you act as if their terms are legitimate. It’s brainwashing. The correct answer, “fuck you and your disgusting gender politics” is conveniently not available in the list.
No, but you can add it yourself….
If ever I have the misfortune to have to enter one of the NHS centres for ritual humiliation again, I am afraid my response might get me thrown out. “Don’t be so feckin’ daft, are ye takin’ the p!**?” is the polite version.
The lunatics have taken over the asylum!
Now, they’re doctors and nurses!
I haven’t been asked this yet, but when I am asked this risible question, I shall simply tell them that I don’t identify and people should use their common sense in wondering how to address me. As the answer to the question has zero bearing on how they would look after me medically/scientifically, it’s a pointless question.
I have, however, been refused treatment and thrown out of the doctors surgery for refusing to wear a mask. It was some time later when I found out, to my relief, that I didn’t have prostate cancer.
I was asked nonsense like this at the chemist. I said “look can we just bypass this stuff please” ——Since I am polite person (mostly). She scrolled down a bit the page and said “Oh it is optional”. ——-Just as well. When it becomes “not optional” is when the fun will start.
