UK Health Workers Ordered To Ask Men If They’re Pregnant Before X-Rays: Report<\/span><\/p>\n

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

The Telegraph reports that National Health Service staff in the UK are being mandated to ask everyone, even men, if they are pregnant before carrying out radiography.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The report notes that as part of \u2018inclusivity guidance\u2019, all patients aged 12-55 must be asked the question, regardless of their sex.<\/p>\n

The new mandate was introduced following an incident where a \u2018trans man\u2019 (a biological woman) who was unknowingly pregnant underwent a CT scan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The guidance states that\u00a0staff must be inclusive of transgender, non-binary and intersex patients and refrain from making assumptions about biological sex.<\/p>\n

Whistleblowers within the health service have told the Telegraph that new \u2018inclusive\u2019 forms to be filled in by patients are causing \u201cconfusion and anger\u201d and putting people\u2019s health at risk.<\/p>\n

The report further notes that the pregnancy forms have sections asking for sex at birth, preferred name and pronouns, and contain \u201cridiculous\u201d statements about people who are born with variations in sex characteristics.<\/p>\n

A radiographer notes that one male patient who was scheduled to see specialists for an urgent cancer diagnosis \u201cwas so annoyed by the questions on the form, he shouted, he left the department and didn\u2019t actually have a scan\u201d.<\/p>\n

Other patients were left with doubts about the quality of care they were receiving due to the inclusivity forms.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Women in particular have reacted badly to the new policy, with some\u00a0\u201cwho have had terrible miscarriages, [and] ectopic pregnancies\u201d being reminded of the trauma.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of just asking \u2018is there any chance you could be pregnant?\u2019 and them choosing to say \u2018no\u2019, they\u2019re now having to say, \u2018I had two ectopic pregnancies, and I don\u2019t have ovaries anymore\u2019 and we then write that down,\u201d a source urged.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Parents are also fuming over the policy, according to sources, charging that their children are being \u201cindoctrinated\u201d to choose preferred pronouns and gender identity.<\/p>\n

Figures from the Office For National Statistics show that less than 1 percent of the population identifies as trans or non binary.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the latest in a line of such concerns to be aired from within the NHS, as we have previously highlighted.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
