And here we go again. Midwifery students are being taught that trans patients, both ways, can give birth.
I have nothing against the trans community, if you feel that having a sex change is the only way you can feel comfortable in your own skin the best of luck to you, but it is a cosmetic change only. There is no reproductive functionality in male to female and one of the first surgical procedures for female to male transition is a hysterectomy so unless something went drastically wrong with the procedure pregnancy is no longer possible
The workbook also adds a trans person who has transition from female to male could give birth through a specially constructed penis.
WTF??

Male to female pregnancy? How the hell did you pass basic biology?
This clearly isn't a typo or mistake as it would have been picked up in review long before being handed out to students.
https://reduxx.info/exclusive-midwifery-students-taught-how-to-care-for-males-giving-birth/For years we have heard that the NHS is strapped for cash and staff and often see stories in the news about people who end up having to go overseas and fund their own treatment because life saving procedures or medication are not available due to cost but that isn't stopping wastage on stupid bullshit like midwifery care for a male to female trans 'birthing person' where the pregnancy ISN'T BIOLOGICALLY FUCKING POSSIBLE.
For the cost of the 'research' and peer reviews, training seminars and other materials that would have gone into this for both teaching staff and qualified ward and community midwives how many doses of life saving medication could have been paid for?
