I'm happy with it. They are men why would they need it?
It's their lifestyle choice and it saves a lot of taxpayer's cash.
Everyone should be happy.

''However men living as women are being invited for cervical smear tests even though they do not have a cervix, an official guidebook states.''
 
It's a logical conclusion to the illogical belief that a person can choose their sex by decree alone. If that belief is accepted, as it is now required to be, this is the only possible course of action.

Accepting untrue things as truth solely because of political power usually, if not always, leads to bad things happening. In this case, NHS money will be wasted (on "testing" people for organs they don't have and diseases of those organs which of course they can't have and on treating people for cancer that could have been detected earlier if they hadn't denied the existence of organs they do have) and people will die (both directly because of those cancers and indirectly because of the wasted money not being available to spend on useful treatment for other people).

The world hasn't gone mad. There have always been fashionable irrational beliefs and there have always been political ideologies with enough power to force people to pretend that untrue things are true.
 
I find this whole non-binary, 'i identify' stuff absolutely ludicrous.

This story, if true, I find terrifying.
 
Is this an IT issue? it too much to ask that NHS systems can have 2 Gender boxes, 1 for gender identity, 1 for physical gender to solve this?

Ps does this make sense for some things, i.e men can get breast cancer, would the addition of hormone treatments increase risk? so would be a good idea to screen them?

not so much cervical cancer though...
 
I have nothing but sympathy for these people. They've been sold a lie. Sex change surgery is not a cure for depression, having the surgery doesn't make them live a happier life as the gender that they believe they are.

At some point someone has got to stand up and proclaim that "The Emperor isn't wearing any clothes!"
 
The reason why this makes no sense, and why all the people that think it's a good idea not to screen transgender people, is that breast cancer exists in men. The chances are diminished with the reduction in breast tissue, but men definitely get breast cancer. Why would you not want to be screened for it?
 
I think I am an X and therefore you should all now treat me as an X.

I will treat you as an equal to any other person, but I won't pretend you are something because of your ludicrous proclamations.

Mental health practitioner sure, smear test for a man, sorry no, stop that, it's silly.
