The General Medical Council Is All Confusion

[naomi24]

'The General Medical Council, that august body which regulates and disciplines the medical profession, has removed the term “mother” and references to women from its staff maternity policy', writes straight-speaking Ann Widdecombe.   'Well', she says, 'if the GMC doesn’t understand biology then who does? Let me help the poor confused souls by explaining it to them.'

 

Ann thought doctors were supposed to know what a woman is, and so she does explain it to them.  Well said that 'woman' - and for now I use the word advisedly.

What can be done to halt this ridiculous march of fantasy once and for all?  A start, I think, would be to stop the demand to refer to men who claim to be women as 'she' or 'her'.  The media encourages this farce and even refers to convicted 'trans' rapists as 'she' or 'her', presumably as a token of respect - but what's to respect - and what happened to respect for real women?

Never before has a tiny minority had so much power. What changed so quickly that we now must all prostrate ourselves before those that usurp Biology?

The GMC have always been up  themselves - but.... write in and tell them

The Pres, GMC, St James Bldgs, 79 Oxford St., Manchester

stamp needed

There are some posters whose opinions and responses matter less than others, but I read and think about all of them,

bit subjective innit?

"matter to me", would make better sense to those whose posts have suffered slashing from the odd passing mad slasher mod

and then we cd fairly conclude

and those who matter most to him, are his own!

haw haw haw - but so true

Alorra of the GMC material is NOT written by doctors, and patients come first. SO if you ( as er a patient dont like it, ) tell them

[Peter Pedant]

Ann thought doctors were supposed to know what a woman is,

they do! - this is a GMC document - most arent doctors.

so blokes are upset because they cannot be mothers biologically so..let's change the wording of biological mothers, it's absurd as is a women who wants to be called father, when they are not biologically able to be, so adopted parent, i can imagine children in the playground, child says thats my dad, friends say err thats a lady... so it's changing the english language of definition of mother father...why.
