'NHS asks patients to choose from 12 genders, 10 sexual preferences and 159 religions

Some registering with the online portal before they attend appointments have said questions are bizarre, confusing and intrusive.'

Why do they ask this?

I'm due a procedure that relates to women and only to women.  Nevertheless the form sitting on my desk right now doesn't mention women but asks if I am, or ever have been, an 'individual of child bearing potential'.   They're called 'women' - all of them.

[Khandro]

'Patients are also offered a menu of “sexual preferences”, including pansexual, bisexual, gay, heterosexual, lesbian, queer, questioning, unsure or asexual – or a combination of these – to choose from.'

Wokery gone mad, Is it legal to even ask for such answers ?

[davebro3]

Troubling thing is they (we!) have paid someone to think up & propagate this claptrap.

[Old_Geezer]

If you are allowed a combination then tick every box. It's none of their darned business and they probably won't use the information for your advantage anyway.

Inclusive or intrusive?

// They're called 'women' - all of them. //

actually, those transgenders with Gender Recognition Certificates are legally recognised as their certified gender. thus it's legally possible for males to become pregnant and give birth. the most famous example being "Freddy the Seahorse" (q/v).

Perlease, there are more important things for the NHS to be concerned with than pandering to these self obsessed attention seeking weirdos.

[Canary42]

They're on a lose-lose case. If they don't include them, then folk will accuse them of discrimination, if they include them they're accused of wokeism.  

 

 

Why do they ask ?  So that should the person be hospitalised, suitable accommodation/provision can be allocated.

[jourdain2]

As O_G says, tick them all.

I become irritated when asked if I consider myself  something from a long list including mixed race british, etc., etc..  I've been writing 'Celtic/Viking' for years..... no-one's asked me about it.

It's as relevant as any of the other info is, I'm half Scottish and have a Viking upper jaw apparently, so will argue if challenged - they never do.

[Barsel]

That is an awful lot of genders and sexual preferences, but 159 religions? All in the UK? I had no idea.

[naomi24]

Mushroom, it's claptrap.  

[mushroom25]

//  it's claptrap.  //

undoubtedly. but it's claptrap with the full backing of the law.

[naomi24]

I know - which makes it even more ridiculous.  A piece of paper doesn't make a man a woman.  Nothing does that.

[david small]

History will laugh outrageously at the stupidity of our times. We will all pay a price for tolerating such nonsense.

[Khandro]

Canary; //Why do they ask ?  So that should the person be hospitalised, suitable accommodation/provision can be allocated.//

Sexual preferences ?

 

In fairness I can understand religion - you wouldn't give a Muslim or a Jew pork, or a Hindu beef, but what would you not give a Druid ?

It was only a few years ago after a mild heart attack I was tranferred to a normal ward only to find next to me was the local vicars wife. If they had mixed wards then, why do they need segregation now?

[Barsel]

I must admit, I was once put into a mixed ward and woke one morning to find a male sitting next to my bed just looking at me.

Since then, I have always asked to be in a female-only ward although when I was admitted at the end of October last year, there was still an all-male ward on the opposite side of the corridor, and we all had to share the same bathroom. 

The elderly lady in the bed next to mine forgot to lock the bathroom door and yes, one of the male patients walked in!

I wonder how they decide where to put patients who recognise themselves as something else.

[Peter Pedant]

 If they had mixed wards then, why do they need segregation now?

Answer - girls didnt like it

Yeah Yeah I know with mens wards, etc there was a lot of foo-foo about equality and mixing

and the girls didnt like it ( men indifferent(*) and so they had single sex bays

and there were more complaints so they said *** - lets have I know ! single sex wards, and people complained it should  be "let us go BACK to  single sex wards"

and there was yet more whining carping and whingeing ( makes AB look like a bingo lovey-in)

and yes people said why didnt we just stay as we were?
