The NHS is in denial about the dangers of ‘trans inclusive’ wards.
There are times when ‘I told you so’ seems glib, when you don’t want to be proved right. What follows is one such example.
In August last year, I wrote for spiked about the need for single-sex hospital wards. I ended the piece with a question: ‘How many female patients will be placed in danger before the NHS realises that sex still matters?’ What I didn’t know when the piece was published was that there was already one woman who had been raped on a single-sex hospital ward. And to comply with NHS guidelines, her male attacker had been accommodated in line with his gender identity as a transwoman.
