The worst thing is that Starmer will inevitably adopt this as a “common sense” proposal to avoid being wedged/looking like some kind of Corbynite leftist.

In healthcare it's perfectly reasonable to use sex-specific language. There's sex-specific care, after all.

Yes, but sex and gender are different things. Our government is planning to ban transgender women from female wards, for example.

I'm about to ask an incredibly stupid question here but...what are female wards? Are, say, hospital floors divided by gender in your country? I am unfamiliar with doing that as a concept. I suppose the only sex/gender specific area of a hospital I know of is the labor and delivery department but it's because it involves people with a uterus delivering a baby.

I already mentioned that. You wouldn't see anyone banning people from those wards. It's literally just for people with a uterus, no matter the gender. So it doesn't make sense to say transgender women would be banned from the maternity ward. If a person is having a baby then they are having a baby. I am trying to understand the comment that I replied to.

I'm only aware of care for specific bodily functions or behavior, none that is actually tied to sex.

This is a pretty smoothbrained take
