Call Bearded Trans Colleagues Women, NHS Staff Told

by Will Jones
6 March 2025 7:38 PM

NHS staff have been ordered to treat trans colleagues with beards as women and use female pronouns in training materials that also claim gender-neutral toilets promote “equality”. The Telegraph has more.

Training materials for NHS Scotland workers ask them to consider the fictional case of “Lucy”, a 29 year-old trans nurse who had yet to formally change his name from Lee.

The cultural humility training module states that Lucy “is still producing facial hair which is exposed” and that some other staff are unhappy correcting patients when they use male terms to describe the nurse.

The module stated that “discrimination against Lucy will not be tolerated” and the staff  “have a duty (under equality law) to use the correct name and pronouns for Lucy”.

In addition, the training endorses the rollout of gender-neutral lavatories, claiming they “promote equality by eliminating the need for people to conform to traditional gender norms”.

The training scenarios, prepared by the NHS Education for Scotland (NES) agency, also said that people can decide for themselves “whether they identify as disabled”.

The content of the materials was disclosed by the Times as John Swinney was forced to deny that Scotland’s gender self-ID policies are “state sponsored abuse of human rights”.

Ash Regan, a former SNP minister who quit Nicola Sturgeon’s Government in protest at self-ID legislation, told the First Minister to apologise to women for the “attack” on women’s rights.

Mr Swinney told First Minister’s Questions at Holyrood that he had shown “leadership” on the protection of women and girls.

However, he recently backed the right of trans Scottish government staff who self-identify as women to use female lavatories and changing rooms.

Worth reading in full.

There should be NO discussion. The whole trans thing is a lie, and those trying it on should be locked up in a mental prison. Shut this nonsense down now.

Might be a bit far fetched for those who are not religious but I often wonder if one potential motivation behind forcing people to state something that they know is a lie (in this instance that Lucy is a woman) is that then they break the biblical commandment against bearing false witness.
Ultimately if I was the devil, I would want to promote breaking all commandments as much as possible and right now modern society undoubtedly exercising this strategy very efficiently.

Theodore Dalrymple put it very plainly:
“When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control“

Yes! It makes them feel like an accessory to a criminal act, in some way.
I also read somewhere that habitual lying, or acquiescing to a habitual liar, turns people into psychopaths, becoming gradually, inexorably more and more evil.

Because as your great quote says, it destroys the power of their personal integrity, makes them cowardly and totally focused on maintaining their lies, “doubling down” on them.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!! You have nailed it, Major! I just came on here to say something about another aspect of forcing people to lie, and it may have been in Huxley’s Brave New World or Orwell’s 1984. It was that when people are forced to say or pretend to believe what they know is a lie, it wounds their psyche, damaging their mind in some way, like cognitive dissonance.

I’m not religious and I don’t find it at all far fetched. I wish I could find the clip – the incomparable Antonin Scalia did an interview with some big name US TV journalist in which he said he thought the Devil was an actual entity and not just a concept. The interviewer was incredulous. It is a hoot. Everything with Scalia in it is worth watching. He and his Catholic wife had some crazy number of children- 9.

Isn’t making people publicly affirm things they know to be false just a way to control them?

Evil exists, that is without doubt, but is evil a byproduct of people, or are people a byproduct of evil? I have come to believe the latter. Evil is a force that exists beyond our understanding and it would certainly not be stupid enough to reveal itself. It would manipulate the minds of people and do it in such a way that would make mothers obsess about mutilating their own children, and just so they can brag about their imagined superiority over a flat white and a vegan muffin. That is exactly how evil would tear it all down.

Evil is not a mere “force”. It is a gang of Negative-Energy entities like Satan the Parasitic Worm, and all his allies and protectors in the spirit world who are desperate to keep good souls enslaved forever, as they slowly consume the good spiritual Light into their evil dark selves. The evil beings are not really interested in evil humans who commit evil of their own free will in this life, even those who give their souls to Satan and other evil beings, because their souls are of little worth, having besmirched the light of their own souls by wallowing in depravity here on Earth. They exist in the spirit world as empty black shadow-beings totally enslaved in darkness by Satan and his allies.

The whole point about being here in this physical world is that we periodically have this chance to exercise OUR OWN FREE WILL to choose between Good and Evil, and to REPENT OUR SINS, and CAST OUT SATAN and all the other evil negative energy beings. And the reason it’s so important to choose now is that in the spirit world of dreams and the afterlife before Judgment Day, your free will is continually violated by the evil beings who control you there, forcing you to do bad things in the spirit world so that they can falsely accuse you to Heaven, and keep you enslaved in Hell.

What you think are just dreams that you sometimes remember after waking up, are your actual experiences in the spirit world, as your physical form sleeps in this world.

Post Jimmy Savile they said it could never happen again, one man having such influence that the doors of the wards were held open for him to abuse the vulnerable in their beds.
Now we have a Nurse in a dress with a penis stalking the wards, toilets and changing rooms, what could possibly go wrong.

And look at what a huge success the scamdemic psyop was. Highly qualified and experienced doctors and nurses taking leave of their senses, completely throwing all medical ethics, extensive knowledge and evidence-based practice down the sh*tter. So because that was so successful in terms of getting people to abandon all knowledge and common sense, this current woke psyop will no doubt also get accepted by the majority. Then there’s the usual apathetic “just following orders” types that go along to get along.
On the one hand this toxic ideology hacks me off and this is blatant discrimination of women, but a tiny part of me thinks how many of these same staff forced elderly patients to die alone, stopped loved ones visiting or forced patients to wear masks against their will. It’s actually hard for me to summon much in the way of sympathy when it comes to NHS staff nowadays, though I do respect anyone ( such as nurse Peggy and the Darlington nurses ) who makes a stand and fights this nonsense head on as opposed to rolling over and taking the path of least resistance. Again, just like during the Covid plandemonium. It’s almost like these things are a test in conformity but also to see how many people possess sense in their heads and the ability to challenge authority, and how many are beyond help and have basically morphed into automatons. If you’re a nurse or doctor that can’t think critically then you’re a lost cause, aren’t you, really?

I agree with all you say and can imagine the medics/nurses stay silent because they need their jobs. Ironically with the Plandemic, it was their professional that were forced to take the experimental jabs.
However, I believe that some of the trans are paedophiles who are using their cover, like Savile, to get access to the children. The treatment of Prof Cass, who has done so much to protect children, shows as all just how powerful the paedophile lobby is.

While the previous Sceptic article tells of job losses at Grangemouth refinery, Scotland’s First Minister panders to NHS Scotland’s “cultural humility training module”.

Deckchairs well and truly rearranged on the dysfunctional CalMac ferries.

This is when, in theory, the fact nursing is a female dominant profession should work in these nurses’ favour ( though I acknowledge the article’s about all NHS staff ), but the problem is a lack of solidarity and unity. We know that disloyal women screw over their own sex left, right and centre. It’s often because they’re ingratiating themselves with men. There’ll be female managers pushing this through, as well as male. It really is a depressing reality that women are guilty of sex discrimination against fellow women. A fact that just boggles my mind, really.
But then, aren’t there plenty of examples of white men being discriminated against by fellow men? Being passed over for jobs due to DEI targets, and the bosses of these organisations or armed forces are actually men? I think in reality it’s seldom women doing the discriminating as it’s usually men that are in charge. I feel like I’ve never seen such disloyalty, so many traitors to their own sex in these woke times. This is the problem, when you have people in charge of hiring and firing that are infected with the woke mind virus.

If Lucy has a beard then he is taking the pi** and not trying hard enough. He doesn’t deserve the cognitive effort it must take to suppress a million years of understanding and instinct.

Time for any sane medic or nurse to leave Scotland then. I did, about thirty years ago, and looking at the mess the place is now, this has to rank as one of the best decisions of my life. There is a whole world out there and a shortage of medics and nurses, so you don’t have to put up with this nonsense from NHS Scotland.or the deluded SNP.
