NHS staff at multiple hospitals in England have been told they must check whether all patients aged 12 to 55 are pregnant, regardless of their sex.
The NHS claims this is part of its ‘inclusivity policy’.
The guidance, which follows an incident where a ‘transgender man’ unknowingly underwent a CT scan while pregnant, requires staff to ask about pregnancy status without making assumptions about a patient’s gender identity.
Some hospitals have gone further, asking patients to complete forms stating their sex at birth, preferred name and pronouns.
The radiation from X-ray, CT and MRI scans, as well as cancer treatments, can be dangerous to unborn babies, but forms designed to be ‘inclusive’ have caused confusion and anger among patients and pose a risk to their safety, according to Radiographers at the NHS.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the measures had left men storming out of appointments and women in tears because of ‘invasive’ fertility questions. It is understood that patients are being asked to fill out pregnancy forms stating their sex at birth, preferred name and pronouns, and read “ridiculous” statements about people who are born with variations in sex characteristics.
The Bible says,
Luke 1:41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost
What this could mean
One radiographer claimed a man on a two-week urgent cancer pathway ‘was so annoyed by the questions on the form, he shouted, he left the department and didn’t actually have a scan’.
‘There is an unnecessary risk for these patients if they do get so annoyed and don’t have the scan.’
An NHS staff said Women have been left in tears by questions about their fertility, including having to explain why they could not be pregnant, while patients of all backgrounds have been affronted or embarrassed by the suggestion that their sex was not obvious.
‘We’ve had women who have had terrible miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies, and we’re reminding them of that trauma,’ a source said. ‘Instead of just asking ‘is there any chance you could be pregnant?’ and them choosing to say ‘no’, they’re now having to say, ‘I had two ectopic pregnancies, and I don’t have ovaries anymore’ and we then write that down.’
The Bible says,
1 Thess 5:21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

‘Indoctrinating children’
Children are once again put in the middle of gender propaganda at the NHS.
A part of the form show where children under-18 are being asked their preferred names and pronouns.
The guidance says ‘a patient should always be asked “What pronouns would you like me to use for you?” and “How would you like to be addressed?”‘
The Bible says,
Romans 08:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

Society of Radiographers responds
The questions make up part of the ‘inclusive pregnancy status guidelines for ionising radiation’ that were developed by the Society of Radiographers (SoR). The college encourages NHS radiology departments to use its form or create their own version.
Its guidance claims the proportion of British adults ‘identifying as trans or non-binary is as high as 4.5 per cent’, despite Office for National Statistic census data putting it at 0.5 per cent. It says a further 1.7 per cent of people are intersex, which is thought to be the situation with Olympic medal-winning boxers, Imane Khelif and Lin Yu-ting, who purportedly have XY chromosomes, known also as differences of sex development (DSD).
It is not known how widespread their use is, but it is understood multiple hospitals in London, the North West and North East are using variations of the form.
‘NHS trusts must return to common sense and reality’
Fiona McAnena, the director of campaigns at human rights charity Sex Matters, said: ‘The Society of Radiographers’ inclusion policy is among the worst examples of professional bodies losing their senses by prioritising ideology ahead of biological fact.
‘Putting healthcare staff and male patients through this humiliating farce, with inclusivity pregnancy forms, questions on the likelihood of pregnancy, and enquiries about their pronouns, is both inappropriate and a shocking waste of time.
‘The NHS trusts that have adopted this policy in their radiography units should immediately revoke it and return to common sense and reality.’

Maybe the 4.5% ‘trans & non-binary “adults” ‘ includes children and the 1.5% doesn’t.
Ask the NHS why there is such a large discrepancy.
