pan style=”font-size: 11pt”>The trust’s transgender policy, seen by The Telegraph, was drawn up by equalities officers and LGBT members of staff.
Controversially, it recognises “non-binary” identities, which are not recognised in law.
It sets an aim for all NHS staff in the two hospitals to be trained on “non-binary staff and gender non-conforming identities”.
The trust also said it would collect data on the gender that staff identify as, but not their biological sex, in defiance of the Government.
On toilets and changing rooms, the guidance states: “Facilities: provide access to gender-appropriate facilities. Gender-neutral options will also be made available where possible.
“Transgender people are accommodated according to the gender they identify with, rather than sex registered at birth, regardless of where they are on the transition journey.”
It's a step back in time. Well, it's a step back in everything. In every sense.
