British medical association issues condemnation of the recent supreme court anti-trans ruling.
Nice to finally hear some small positive news from here on terf island.
I agree with the statement but I've downvoted this as I can find no reference to it anywhere on the BMA website or any other official public communication.
What I did find was an article about it here, and when questioned for a reference the author responded with an ever unhelpful "I have been told it is on the members only part of the British Medical Journal (BMJ) website."
OP, if you can provide proof of this I'll gladly turn that downvote into an upvotes.
Edit: The Guardian has reported on it so it appears to be true, nice one!
That's fair, as far as I know it's a screenshot form the redient doctors conference.
I went digging for more information after your (very fair) comment, I didn't find it in the agenda https://www.bma.org.uk/media/g2ofmswk/resident-doctors-conference-2025-motions-for-voting.pdf
But I have found an explanation for that and a somewhat dubious confirmation via this thread on Reddit, https://old.reddit.com/r/doctorsUK/comments/1k97tti/british_medical_association_conference_calls/mpc84s8/ wherin a doctor states that it was an emergency motion and they voted in favour. (Side node; a lot of people in that thread are unhappy about the BMA acting beyond the role of a trade union)
On the one hand it's a random Reddit thread, on the other hand, a lot of people who are likely to have first had knowledge aren't actively disputing the presence of success of the motion and there are anecdotal confirmations of both.
I will admit I probably jumped the gun here, I was just happy to finally see some trans positive sentiment from a UK institution.
Resident doctors working in the NHS also condemned the supreme court’s ruling on gender as having “no basis in science or medicine”. Medics at the British Medical Association’s (BMA) resident doctors conference in London passed a motion stating that “attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine”. While the motion was passed at the conference it will not become BMA policy unless voted on at the union’s annual meeting later this year.
That's more like a credible source, thank you!
