Remember this story from 2022?
Yeah, it's gotten worse. According to The Telegraph in an article published Wednesday, radiologists from numerous hospitals are now being required to ask men if they are pregnant before medical scans.
The guidance applies to all patients aged 12 to 55 at several hospitals, no matter their sex (or whether or not they have broad shoulders and a burly beard).
Imagine, as a man, your so-called "healthcare professional" looking you in the eye and asking you if you are pregnant.
This new rule is part of the inclusivity guidance, which encourages staff to be mindful of non-binary, transgender, and intersex patients and not to make assumptions. It comes after a trans man, who didn't realize he was pregnant, had a CT scan.
Never mind the fact that all patients already list their "sex at birth" and "preferred pronouns" on forms. Staff must still ask them the question.
According to The Telegraph, this is already causing some patients stress. Women end up in tears after being asked, while some men have walked out of appointments in frustration.
One patient, scheduled for urgent cancer treatment, was so upset by the inclusivity questions that he "shouted," then left the premises.
Women who have has issues with fertility are also being hurt by the question.
'We've had women who have had terrible miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and we're reminding them of that trauma,' a source said. 'Instead of just asking "is there any chance you could be pregnant?" and them choosing to say "no", they're now having to say, "I had two ectopic pregnancies, and I don't have ovaries anymore" and we then write that down.'
The policy is also grooming patients into gender ideology.
One patient, who had to get scans every day for a week, started second-guessing themselves after being asked about their identity before each scan.
Then there are the kids:
[Staff] also said the forms were 'indoctrinating' children by asking under-18s their preferred names and pronouns, with parents 'furious' about it.
