NHS hospital policies stating that colonialism is responsible for the traditional male-female divide have sparked alarm and prompted calls for a thorough review of current gender guidelines and the way biological sex is recognised. The revelations are part of the Mail’s continuing investigation into gender ideology within the NHS. Here’s an excerpt:
Colonialism is to blame for imposing the male-female divide on society, NHS staff are being told in official hospital policies.
Health trust documents obtained by the Daily Mail also state that adults who take hormone therapy are going through puberty, and that men who identify as women can be lesbians.
The contentious claims have added to calls for an urgent review of all NHS guidance on gender issues.
An investigation by the Mail has already revealed that people who only occasionally present as women are allowed into female-only wards, midwives are being warned they can harm trans parents by describing them as mothers, and 999 operators have been told to ask for emergency callers’ pronouns rather than risk misgendering them.
Tory MP Miriam Cates, who is a former science teacher, said: “It is a travesty that so many NHS trusts are now engaged in divisive political activism and are promoting extremist political views about gender theory – views that have no basis in reality and are a threat to the safety of women.
“It is indefensible for our National Health Service to deny the reality of biological sex, and it undermines public trust in the whole medical establishment.
“Those within the NHS who are pushing this destructive agenda are failing in their duty of care and must be held to account.”
Lottie Moore, Head of Biology Matters at the Policy Exchange think-tank, said: “The NHS should not be rewriting biology textbooks and presenting them as fact.
“These claims are not scientific and should not be presented to patients as such.
“Gender identity beliefs are simply beliefs, and the NHS must understand this.”
Analysis by this newspaper of dozens of NHS hospital trust policies found that in addition to advice on how to handle staff transitioning and care for transgender patients, they commonly state controversial gender theories as fact.
Many avoid saying that humans are born male or female, and instead assert that doctors simply ‘assign’ a sex to babies.
Worth reading in full.
Stop Press: While NHS managers are busying themselves disseminating woke propaganda, the hospitals they’re supposed to be managing are descending into chaos. The Mail has published a hair-raising piece by an NHS doctor about how his A&E department is like a war zone.

The all powerful left is going full Orwell. A clearly insane falsehood is being imposed – not merely touted, suggested or argued but imposed – on the largest single institution in Britain. But this falsehood, this lie is not merely insane, it seethes with hatred – hatred of whites, expressed by turning reality or its recognition into crimes which are then “blamed” on us.
And like the worst sort of raging psychotic, the left directs the worst of its fury towards reason itself, then towards conscience.
And where is the response? Where the criticism? Where the opposition? Nowhere. From the official right, the so-called Conservative party we get a deafening silence, bar the sound of uncomfortably shuffled shoes. If pressed, they either vanish into thin air, offer bromides, deny that there is much of a problem or – if seriously irked by questioning – try to justify the rubbish.
So what, what, what is to be done? How is opposition to rise and confront these lies and overturn this oppression? All that is required for evil to triumph is that good men do nothing. And the nothingness, the impotence, the silence, the shame-faced derelictions are beginning to grate.
Criticism? On the contrary, I guarantee that this comes directly from the civil servants in the health ministry. The health minister has no control over what they do or don’t do.
As a taxpayer, may I ask what the Health Secretary is doing whilst this wokist flood engulfs the NHS?
Do we have a government or not?
Not really, we do have lots of civil servants though.
‘servant’ being a questionable title in this context. I prefer the description, as regularly used on another web site, ‘civil serpents’
Or even better ‘slithering serpents’?
Another day another reason to hate and be ashamed of the NHS, a National Horrendous Sh*tshow indeed. An absurd article demands an absurd response, in meme-form, of course;

It is difficult not to conclude that the government are deliberately encouraging this mayhem in the NHS. There are reasons for this : firstly the needless deaths that result will help disguise the excess deaths resulting from the injections and a poorly functioning health care system aids with the impoverishment of the people. Poorly people are less likely to become belligerent, or at least effectively belligerent. Clearly there are multiple strands being deployed in the depopulation agenda.
It’s not gobbledegook at all. “Colonialism” is the left-wing racist dog-whistle term for “white people and culture”. “Decolonisation” is a code/cover word for the destruction of white civilisation and people.
It is gobbledegook. This comes from pretty stupid people in the USA who have a handful (or some handful of) inherited terms of a strong signal value (or so they believe) they’re more-or-less mixing randomly. That’s why they’re calling banning men from women-only cycling competitions genocide or claiming that colonialism established the fictual concept of human sexual dimorphism.
On one level it is gobbledegook, but the underlying intention is clear. These people hate me. The feeling is mutual.
When speculating about motivations, my favorite theory would be they’re morons trying to compensate their erectile dysfunction by claiming that sex isn’t real, anyway.
:->
Well there are the weirdos who actually believe you can change your sex – I don’t care about their motivation and as they just seem mad I am not sure I want to or could understand it – and there are people who pretend to think you can change your sex, use it as a stick to beat people with when they do not swear the oath of allegiance. This latter group seem to want to destroy everything good about our civilisation. I take that personally.
Would you Adam and Eve it?
Being once colonising doesn’t seem to have been bad for the USA in the long term.
Ok, let’s fight back a little: The Genesis states that he (God) created man male and female. This comes from one of the core texts of Jewish religion. Claiming that some evil world-wide conspiracy of colonialists, that is, people who conquered some foreign land in order to settle there, created the artifical notion of human sexual dimorphism for the nefarious purpose of subjugating other cultures must thus be a coded reference to the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites the bible tells of and hence, transexualism is nothing but a pretty classic antisemitic conspiracy theory.
If colonialism was so bad how come so many West Indians come to Britain “to help rebuild Britain after the War”. They can’t be both be true.
Obvious they hopped on a boat for a better life.
It’s high time to throw the weremaids of their stinkwall. A health service that’s politically at odds with human biology is potentially a grave danger to everyone who might some day need one.
When you’re afflicted with a sickness then by necesssity you can’t see it. I look back at the 1980s. It wasn’t a blatantly patriotic time after 1982 but it was a testing ground. So many of our brothers and sisters suffered earlrir and we just turned a blind eye for whatever reason. Even up until the present. Just reflect on the fragility of you own life and support network.
Those people who are promoting this revolting philosophy need to to be identified and sacked.
The prime cause of it is the Equalities and Diversities Act which has resulted in the law of unintended consequences and needs to be repealed forthwith.
It’s hardly a surprise that the most dysfunctional organisation in the UK (and maybe the world) should bother itself with this gibberish when failing abysmally in its only function, i.e. looking after ill patient and making them well again
