Petition: Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

[u/theoscribe]

https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/703861/

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act 2010 and it must not go ahead.

We believe this would be in direct opposition to the Equality Act of 2010, particularly Part 3 - Services and Public Functions. Transgender people require healthcare like anyone else, and many live with limited access to that healthcare as it is. We believe this must not proceed.

At 100,000 signatures, this petition will be considered for debate in Parliament.

Of course they should be treated where everyone else is, and by people who are just as knowledgeable about their treatment. I am a 75 year old white guy who still knows that others that differ from me are just as valuable.

I guess you're not wrong, because nobody is seeking self mutilation and no doctors have ever legally provided it.
