NHS says trans patients must be placed on wards by biological sex
Original: New NHS guidelines say trans patients must use wards ‘on basis of biological sex’
New NHS guidelines state that trans patients in England must be placed on hospital wards according to their biological sex rather than their gender identity. The change affects how trans men and women are accommodated during inpatient stays and has drawn criticism from trans rights groups, including coverage by LGBT outlet PinkNews, while supporters argue it addresses patient safety and privacy concerns.
Why now: The policy change is contentious, touching the ongoing debate over trans rights and single-sex hospital accommodation in the UK.
