🚨🏳️⚧️ Earlier this year, Dr Beth Upton – the male doctor who openly disregarded women’s boundaries, privacy and consent in the UK – was registered as a female doctor in the land of men claiming to be women (🇦🇺 Australia).
This alleged incident in a NSW hospital raises the very concerns about women’s boundaries and consent that we warned about.
👇 My comments in the Daily Mail:
'A woman in hospital should not have to defend her boundaries from the very people entrusted with her care.
‘The New South Wales health minister (Ryan Park) must urgently investigate why a vulnerable woman seeking emergency care felt she needed her husband’s protection to ensure her wish to be treated by a female doctor was respected.
‘The minister and Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Authority [Ahpra] must also explain what assessment was made of Upton’s breathtakingly entitled assertion, made under oath, that he would treat women who had specifically requested a female doctor and what safeguards were put in place to protect the dignity, wellbeing and consent of female patients.
‘In April, we warned that AHPRA registering Upton as a female doctor raised serious questions about whether women’s boundaries and consent would be respected in Australian hospitals. This allegation brings those concerns into sharp focus.’
