Queen's Speech Episode 9 - the three-way with Barry!
More gay male chat, irreverence, righteous anger and lols
Me, Clive and Barry in Queen's Speech episode 9 in which we discuss
Dennis - Understanding the underlying law of the Mermaids/LGBA case
Barry - Manchester Pride and how it's run by insane people
Clive - GLADD's capture of medical schools
So I now have to get used to saying “homogenderuality” and referring to myself as a “homogenderual.” That’s asking quite a lot of my 57-year-old gay brain.
Thank you for discussing the GLADD charter!

Point 5 particularly concerns me:
‘The importance of working with LGBTQ+ patients to respect and **affirm** their gender and/or sexual identity‘ (My asterisks)
a) What is gender identity? It has no proven definition or evidence base, how can clinicians possibly base anything on it?
b) Please note this language creep in which they use ‘sexual identity’ instead of ‘sexuality’.
Sex-based rights and objective reality are not things that EDI people and the self-proclaimed ‘queer medical activists’ who have written this charter believe in.
