Labour MP says trans patients should not stay in single-sex NHS wards

A senior Labour MP has come under attack from his own party for saying transgender patients should not stay in single-sex hospital wards.

Wes Streeting, the party’s health spokesman, said it ‘should not be beyond the realms of possibility’ for the NHS to have separate wards for men and annabelle peaches xxx women plus ‘suitable, safe’ accommodation for trans people.

He is understood to have meant that trans inpatients might prefer to stay in the modern, single-bed rooms that make up almost half of accommodation across trusts in England, rather than being put with people of their birth sex.

His comments were welcomed by women’s rights campaigners but sparked uproar among some who accused him of calling for segregation. It came as Sir Keir Starmer was telling an LGBT+ Labour event that his party would introduce a ‘trans inclusive’ ban on conversion therapy.

This means it would outlaw attempts to ‘cure’ someone of their gender identity as well as change their sexuality.

But campaigners fear this will criminalise parents, teachers and doctors for merely talking to youngsters who question their gender.

Sir Keir said on Monday night: ‘We fully support the view that conversion therapy is psychologically damaging abuse.’ He also repeated Labour’s plan to toughen up sentencing guidelines for abuse and violence targeted at transgender people. The offences will be punishable by up to two years’ imprisonment If you cherished this write-up and you would like to obtain extra facts concerning adult free movies xxx kindly pay a visit to the webpage. .
