The "NHS hospital in Scotland" that are being demonized here saved my life once in an emergency. They can ask everyone if they like gerbils as far as I'm concerned. This article (from the Mail) is just rabble rousing.

Just read the poster and try to apply some common sense, folks.

I asked one of the teachers (!!) to go and choose some gerbils once to buy for Pet Club and she came back with guinea pigs! The sex was the last thing she considered! 🐁 🐭

I 'd guess they are aiming at people who may have started transitioning but haven't completed it /Why does this annoy you so much?
Its JUST a poster ,its not taking up anymore time than the usual form filling will .
I'm 68 ,my gynaecologist always asks me if I might be pregnant ....he also takes 20 years off my age ..I'm not offended its funny!!

The more I see and read of all this (and on GN), the more it befuddles my brain completely.
Am I unusual that no one I know in RL actually discusses this as a really pressing issue? Bonkers!
- though I can understand why some might if it personally affects them.

I think the number of threads and posts about transgender issues on GN are getting ridiculous!

Is there really nothing else going on in the country and world?

Experts have slammed a NHS hospital in Scotland for asking 12-year-old boys if they are pregnant and referring to women and girls as 'people with internal reproductive organs.'
