Stopping discrimination against transwomen

It’s the definition of “trans woman” that bothers me. Are we talking about a man who has fully transitioned ? A man in the process of doing so? Or a man who has decided that he self identifies as a woman? The first I can accept, the 2nd I could possibly be persuaded to accept, the 3rd most definitely not.

On the subject of mixed wards, my mum spent a lot of her last months in hospital on at least 2 occasions that I recall she was in a mixed unit which really upset and distressed her . She was a very private (prudish even) woman and hated every minute of sharing her private space with strange men.

I was admitted into a 6 bed CCU ward from A&E early on Sunday morning. Half were male. They were moved later on, into an all male ward. I was just glad to be there and being looked after. But, the young one was missed.

I thought they did away with mixed wards when so many people were uncomfortable with them

Not sure what I think about that,but it is not unusual these days to have mixed wards which I wouldn’t personally feel comfy with.

I read a thread on mumsnet about the rights of trans women when it comes to admission to hospital . In all-womens' wards. Causing disagreements.
Apparently comes from enforcement of the Equalities Act 2010

Some groups more militant than others.
