@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 29 UKtimes: While NHS is busy stripping GAC from trans ppl, it's at least trying to be more polite: a new training offered to some NHS staff advises dropping "Sir" and "Ma'am" & when unsure of genders using they/them. Cue outrage & backlash from the UK broadsheets
Drop ‘sir’ and ‘madam’ to avoid offending trans patients, NHS told
Critics say the ‘robotic, impersonal language’ advised in training at a Birmingham mental health trust is ‘uncaring to everyone, dressed up as inclusion’
