The UK government is updating the constitution of the National Health Service specifically to expunge the creeping effort to ‘transition’ medical language by radical gender ideologists.
The move is being taken to ensure hospitals use language that is medically accurate and based in biological science.
It means that terms such as ‘Chestfeeding’ as a replacement for breastfeeding will be effectively banned.
Referring to ‘people with ovaries’ instead of women will also no longer be considered acceptable.
The Telegraph reports that the Health Secretary, Victoria Atkins, is scheduled to announce the changes this week.
The update will also prohibit biological men from being treated on single-sex female hospital wards in an effort to protect the “privacy and protection” of women and girls in hospitals.
Previously, biological men self identifying as transgender were able to be treated on women’s wards.
As we also previously highlighted, references to women were erased from NHS advice on the menopause, as well as cervical and ovarian cancer.
In addition, Midwives were mandated to use ‘gender-inclusive’ language and issued a list of ‘acceptable’ terms to use when addressing patients, including “mothers or birthing parents”, “breast/chestfeeding” and “maternal and parental.”
Instead of using the term “breastmilk”, they were asked to choose from “human milk” or “breast/chestmilk” or “milk from the feeding mother or parent.”
In 2022, a Freedom of Information Act request revealed that just 29 of the 142 NHS hospitals in England with maternity units still exclusively use the words “woman” or “mother” to refer to pregnancy, while all the others include terms such as “birthing people” or “pregnant people.”
In February it was also revealed that an NHS hospital had claimed drug-induced ‘chestfeeding’ milk produced by biological men who identify as transgender is just as good as natural mother’s milk for babies.
The taxpayer-funded NHS was also found to be spending huge amounts of money asking patients, mostly elderly people, what gender they identify as.
The government changes are aimed at reversing all of this and ensuring it doesn’t happen with other NHS resources.
Maya Forstater, chief executive of the campaign group Sex Matters, described the move as a “major step” on the path to overturning “capitulation to the demands of gender extremists, which has damaged policies and practices, created widespread confusion and harmed patient care”.
“These much-needed changes to the NHS constitution will help secure essential sex-based rights in healthcare across England,” she further asserted, adding “Clear language, single-sex wards and access to intimate care provided by a health professional of the same sex are crucial to the wellbeing and safety of female patients.”
“They should never have been compromised,” Forstater urged.
The development comes after the NHS banned puberty blockers ahead of a major review that concluded the drugs are potentially seriously harmful and the grounds on which they are being used not medically sound.
Last year it was revealed that the number of children placed on puberty blockers for ‘gender affirming care’ doubled in the UK in a year despite the government run body saying it would stop the practice outside of clinical trials.
Trans lobbyist groups, some of them government funded, continue to espouse the virtues of the drugs in their materials, which are being actively used inside schools.

Something we don’t yet know about must have affected the wealthy and the politicians (often one in the same) for this turnabout to take place. Perhaps laws were seriously broken and a slew of lawsuits were about to hit those same people and the NHS. Are elections coming up soon? Those in charge are getting out ahead of some storm they see is brewing in hopes their individual asses can be saved. Not to mention depending on the public’s short memory.
NOW if they can get rid of the Islamists in charge in the UK.
Does this signify that some sense is finally coming in and that the trans-lunacy is being recognized for what it is: a mental disorder, a delusion not based in reality and devoid of any fact?
One can only hope.
A glimmer of sanity.

This year it’s “Make or Break!” for Humans!
Either they FIGHT the Foreign Nazis
or the Foreign Nazis start their THIRD World War
and kill all the Humans on Earth!
That’s what Satan put them on Earth to do, anyway!
Glad they’re backtracking, I don’t think they’re doing it due to altruism, I think their doing this to cover their arses because alot of evidences of abuses are about to hit the mainstream.
Hard To Believe There Is ANY Sanity Left in The U.K.!!??-Just a Fleeting Thought-Then It Will Go Back To Its Expected Moronic State of Mind!-Much Like The Blueprint The USSA Follows!-Get a Dress And Join The Navy!!!
As long as they actually enforce it. There’s plenty of schools already choosing to ignore similar ‘advice’ from the government.
The Mainstream has finally found the backbone to this leftist madness. There is one other that needs to be banned – any politician who attempts to bring back those ridiculous terms.
