Do you think a doctor should be fired for this?

The doc's job is to make you well and treat you, and if he's doing that adequately, isn't that enough? I, as a hetero born woman, have dealt with male and female doctors who were ****ing obnoxious, but did their job.

hey! ive actually dealt with this previously even though ive had my name changed officially for years one doctor even refused to treat me because of this (he did end up being fired bc someone found out about it) i don't think they should be fired necessarily but i don't think he should get away with it i wouldn't personally try to get a doctor fired for calling me the wrong name but others are a lot less tolerant i guess. i think overall no he shouldn't have been fired and im sure his career is over because of this yet as a doctor he needs to be able to educate himself as [patients are gonna have weirder **** happen to them. idk tho i understand both viewpoints

He wasn't fired. Just wasn't selected for a new position.

I don't think the Doctor was actually fired from anywhere despite the title, looks like he was just not chosen for a job working with the public sector or something?

ok makes sense glad he wasn't fired he didn't deserve that

Reprimanded yes, fired no

To be honest, the NHS need to start training Doctors on this sort of thing, from what I've read doing research they can sometimes find themselves at a loss when dealing with trans patients, and it's not necessarily the docs fault, they just don't seem to be getting trained on how to deal with trans patients despite the ever increasing number.

I guess they are, but there are a lot out there who feel woefully unequipped to deal with it, I do empathise with them despite being on the opposite side of the desk.

Can someone edit the thread title so another illiterate ass doesn't come in here thinking someone's actually been sacked?

So a doctor who spent many years training for his profession has lost his job in the NHS and has been stripped of his title so that he can't practice in any other country and you just don't care? Is that what you're saying? This man spent hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of pounds becoming a doctor and now all he can do is sit in a mud shack in the South American desert peddling peyote to gap-year tourists, and you're like "so what" because he misgendered some transexual libtard PC gone mad lady wannabe who is only wanting to be female to access ladies toilets and molest people. That's it, isn't it. I bet you don't even like Brexit. Brexit would never have fired this doctor.

Their rights should not undermine those of women born women.

I think this thread has proven how most people will react to a headline without reading the article in question.... And people get pissy at me for suggesting the public as a whole are rarely informed.

But you are also a member of the public - just the same as the rest of us.

And I can still criticise the public any way I please, just like anyone else can because that's what freedom of speech is.

Instead of trying to deny me that with odd and ineffective ways of trying to shut down my opinion, try arguing against it.

You use that word ‘odd’ again - what a coincidence! I will leave it there as I am being discriminated against and apparently not allowed to respond to your posts without getting infracted. Speaking of freedom of speech! Don’t want to make it too easy do I. Might be too late already.

Well the title of the thread is misleading. But I would say I am informed

But you don't represent the public.

Just because you think you are informed doesn't mean much for everyone else. You aren't the public as a whole, you are, like every other individual, a grain of sand in the desert that is the public.

Well obviously we're all different .

Like I said the title of the thread was misleading ,which is probably why some people seem "misinformed" . But the article is there for people to read .

They reacted to the thread title without reading the article. That's why so many people in this thread think he has been sacked from the NHS when he simply didn't get a job as an assessor.

I think most people (possibly stupidly) generally expect the actual story to bear some relation to the headline, even if the headline is obviously OTT. No doctor was sacked in this, so unsure why its made out that he was. I fall for this sometimes, have replied to threads with essays only to find out that the actual thread is nothing at all to do with the title/headline

[Cherie]

Why can’t the thread title be amended to reflect the article, that would save alot of time for everyone
