NHS-funded clinic is promoting prostitution to pay for trans surgery

The booklet by CliniQ, which is part-funded by King's College NHS Trust and three London local authorities suggests sex work as a way to pay

A clinic which receives NHS funding has been promoting prostitution as a way for transgender people to pay for their transition treatment, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Being a sex worker ‘can be useful and sometimes empowering’, according to a guide produced by CliniQ, a sexual counselling service for transgender people at King’s College Hospital in London. It adds: ‘It can help us pay for parts of our transition.’

The booklet by CliniQ, which is part-funded by King’s College NHS Trust and three London local authorities, also suggests that transgender men – people born in female bodies but transitioning to male – can hide the fact that they are trans when visiting gay sex parties.

The booklet by CliniQ, which is part-funded by King’s College NHS Trust and three London local authorities suggests sex work as a way to pay for treatment

Entitled Cruising: A Trans Guy’s Guide To The Gay Sex Scene, it advises readers to circumvent men-only restrictions at gay saunas by only performing sex acts ‘without others seeing your genitals’. Experts warned doing so would be committing the crime of sex by deception.

The pamphlet, which features crude sexual language including 22 uses of the words ‘f***’ and ‘f******’ in its 44 pages, focuses extensively on extreme sex acts, including sadomasochism and bondage.

‘Sex in public spaces is legal, so long as other members of the public cannot see you,’ it states. ‘Or so long as it is unlikely someone will come across you having sex. For example, having sex in a quiet woodland, away from the road or path, late at night.’

Despite being targeted at pre-operative trans men – many of whom are in their late teens and early 20s – the booklet makes only a fleeting reference to pregnancy.

LGB Alliance, an organisation that stands up for gay and women’s rights, last night demanded that NHS chief executive Amanda Pritchard and Health Secretary Sajid Javid order the booklet to be ‘immediately removed’. King’s College Hospital last night said it had been withdrawn.

In a letter to health chiefs, the alliance said: ‘We are writing to express our alarm that an NHS publication is encouraging the sexual assault of gay men through the criminal act of sex by deception and is promoting prostitution as a way to fund gender reassignment.

‘Young trans men are encouraged to visit gay male saunas and to keep secret the fact that they are not biological males.

‘Not only is this an offence under law, it treats gay men with contempt, and puts in danger the lives of the young trans men who could potentially face a backlash from gay or bisexual men in the saunas.’

Kate Barker, managing director of the LGB Alliance, said: ‘We are astonished that a leaflet encouraging vulnerable girls to undertake criminally deceptive and breathtakingly risky sexual acts in gay men’s saunas and quiet woodlands is being endorsed by the NHS.

‘The fact that this ugly and demeaning guide wraps itself in the rainbow flag is an insult to all the same-sex attracted people who are as horrified as we are by the casual homophobia of CliniQ. Encouraging young women to believe they are really gay men is cruel, dangerous and deeply wrong.’

Tory peer Baroness Nicholson described the booklet as ‘surely outside the professional ethics of NHS medical professionals and may even go beyond the bounds of the law’. She intends to raise the matter in the House of Lords.

CliniQ was the UK’s first dedicated sexual health service for transgender people when it opened at King’s College Hospital in April 2019. It is run in partnership with the hospital and is backed by Dr Michael Brady, a consultant in sexual health and HIV who is also the LGBT national adviser for NHS England.

King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust said: ‘King’s College Hospital was not involved in the content, publication, distribution or promotion of the booklet. It is no longer available on the CliniQ website and it is not being used or distributed at our sexual health centre.’ CliniQ was contacted for comment.

Cis men wouldn't claim to be trans just to follow girls into the bathroom. And if they did, a small amount of incidents would be worth it if it meant all trans women can be themselves, aka the most basic human right.

Ah the rape, assault and molestation of girls and women is an acceptable compromise if men get to unquestioningly use women’s restrooms and locker rooms because they personally want to.

Please think very hard about what you just inferred, anon. Having to use your second choice bathroom is not a fucking rights violation. 

[angrysapphist-deactivated201804]

“small amount of incidents would be worth it”

jfc

[legitimate-descent-deactivated2]

validating male feelings is not the most basic right. the more basic right is def women getting to have one single solitary fucking place to ourselves away from men goddddddaaaaammmiitttt

[rageclit-deactivated20181208]

it really says how much you hate women if you’d rather that women get raped than dysphoric males have access to proper therapy to help them learn self-acceptance.

[radfemarchive-deactivated202304]

“Small amount of incidents” Imagine hating women this much

Jesus fuck I’m only now seeing the “would be worth it” part urgh fuck men, fuck men who think they’re womem fuck all of you

[thevaginamonoblogs]

“a small amount of incidents would be worth it if it meant all trans women can be themselves“

Incidents.

Look at that concealing language.

Incidents. They can’t even say what it is. They refuse to even acknowledge it happens.

So.

A few trans women feeling invalidated for 10 minutes while they pee somewhere else would be worth it for the safety of women and girls everywhere. Safety from violence, aka the most basic human right.

They’re fine with women and girls being raped and sexually assaulted so long as they feel good about themselves.

Imagine how y’all would feel if we said “A few instances of trans women being assaulted in the men’s bathroom is a small price to pay for all women to enjoy their bathroom full of only other females!”? But we’re not saying that. This isn’t fucking frivolous. We’ve given y’all the evidence hundreds of times.

But don’t you just love: “If … all trans women can be themselves, aka the most basic human right.” Trans women being validated is the most basic human right now? Before right to shelter, right to clean drinking water, right to safety from harm, right to asylum… et al?

[auntiewanda]

all trans women can be themselves, aka the most basic human right.” Trans women being validated is the most basic human right now? Before right to shelter, right to clean drinking water, right to safety from harm, right to asylum… et al?

Of course, because the transactivists making these arguments tend to be middle class and already have those things. The fucking Wachowski brothers make the same argument that any male getting to go into the ladies room unhindered is their most important rights issue. That should fucking tell people something about the privilege at work here.

[punkrorschach]

Hey did y'all ever stop to think about all the trans women that would get assaulted if they had to use the men’s restroom? If we’re gonna ban trans women from women’s restrooms what’s next? Lesbians? Bisexuals?

Assault can happen anywhere at any time and if someone’s going to assault another human being they’re not gonna worry about getting arrested for going into the wrong bathroom. If a man wants to assault a women in a bathroom he doesn’t need to pretend to be a trans women to do it and if a trans woman wanted to assault a woman in a bathroom they’re not gonna change their mind bc a law is passed banning them from the restroom because assault is already illegal! And that doesn’t stop criminals from being criminals.

You claim to worry about women but you only worry about specific types of women. Trans women are women too and they’re just as likely to be assaulted in a bathroom as any other woman. In FACT, they’re MORE likely to be assaulted in the bathroom if they’re forced to use the men’s restroom! But y'all are using a poorly worded and not thought out anon ask to prove a point that’s got no actual standing.

[auntiewanda]

Hey did y'all ever stop to think about all the trans women that would get assaulted if they had to use the men’s restroom? 

I’m sure that happens all the time and you have lists of news articles you will now post.

Also why are transwomen’s fear about violent males valid but women’s fears about violent males aren’t? It’s almost like one group is given preferential treatment and deferred to as an authority for some reason. 

Assault can happen anywhere at any time and if someone’s going to assault another human being they’re not gonna worry about getting arrested for going into the wrong bathroom

Yeah great so why make laws that enable any male to enter female facilities as long as he claims he belongs there? 

You claim to worry about women but you only worry about specific types of women

No I’m concerned about women.  A woman is an adult human female. A human male is categorically not a woman. I’m under no obligation to capitulate to a man insisting he’s somehow a woman. 

In FACT, they’re MORE likely to be assaulted in the bathroom if they’re forced to use the men’s restroom!

And again I’m sure you have receipts, studies, lists of news articles about this happening. 

[fall-and-shadows]

This post was the post that made me reach final peak trans and no longer give a shit. Complete and total lack of compassion. I’m not surprised at all to see it still going

[thevaginamonoblogs]

They always claim trans people are just “trying to be themselves” but they’re literally doing the opposite of self acceptance.

[endgender2020]

If they’re so concerned about trans women being assaulted in male bathrooms, how about they fight for a third unisex bathroom to be added. Ya know, like how women had to fight for female bathrooms to be added when they began entering the ‘public sphere’ work force. Male violence against other men is not women’s responsibility

[auntiewanda]

I’ve said this a lot. Disability activists achieved making every public building require accessible restrooms. Transactivists could easily campaign to make every public restroom single room unisex facilities.

But they don’t. Because it was never about “having to pee”. It was about the thrill of going into the room with the little man or the little skirt sign.

WHY ISN'T ANYBODY TALKING ABOUT THE PLIGHT OF AFGHAN CITIZENS IN THE HANDS OF TALIBAN!!!!

A young lady was lynched in the streets of Kabul, the culprits? The Taliban!

Aren't they human enough to be worried about???

Attacks by the Taliban and other armed groups deliberately targeted civilians and civilian objects in violation of international humanitarian law.

One Taliban spokesman said, "the face of a woman is a source of corruption" for men not related to them. In a systematic segregation sometimes referred to as gender apartheid, women are not allowed to work, they are not allowed to be educated after the age of eight, and until then are permitted only to study the Qur'an.

From the age of eight onward, girls in Afghanistan were not allowed to be in direct contact with males other than a close "blood relative", husband, or in-law. Other restrictions for women were:

Women should not appear in the streets without a blood relative or wearing a burqa.

Women should not wear high-heeled shoes as no man should hear a woman's footsteps lest it excite him.

Women must not speak loudly in public as no stranger should hear a woman's voice.

All ground and first-floor residential windows should be painted over or screened to prevent women from being visible from the street.

Photographing, filming and displaying pictures of females in newspapers, books, shops or the home was banned.

The modification of any place names that included the word "women". For example, "women's garden" was renamed "spring garden".

Women were forbidden to appear on the balconies of their apartments or houses.

Ban on women's presence on radio, television or at public gatherings of any kind.

Have all the feminists of the world suddenly turned deaf or blind or both that they can't hear the Afghan women's cries of anguish or they can't see the atrocities faced by them!

The Taliban has looted, burned down and threatened the residents of the captured districts to evacuate their homes. The citizens are also being frequently abused for allegedly assisting the government. Innocent citizens have been shot and killed by the aforementioned terrorist organization for the citizens' prior associations with the government.

International humanitarian law prohibits attacks on civilians and civilian property, including looting and burning. Deliberate attacks on civilians are war crimes. The forced displacement of civilians is unlawful unless required for the security of the affected civilians or is absolutely necessary for military reasons.

Taliban is blowing up hospitals, maternity health care units and schools!

Are all the human rights activists of the world still asleep??? Are the brutalities of this terrorist organization not grave enough for their concern??? Do they need to hear some more dying wails of help of Afghanis before they realize the gravity of the situation ???

Will they wake up when the terrorists have cleared the whole country? Is it not ethnic cleansing? Are they silent because the terrorist organization is Islamic and it's victims are of the Islamic faith as well and being concerned about the suffering Afghans will not satisfy their sick propaganda? If that's the reason of silence from the global community, they should probably stop claiming themselves as humanitarians and humans altogether and just wipe themselves off of the Earth because honestly, it's damn shameful!

Pregnancy is not just for cis women. Trans men and nonbinary people who have uteruses can get pregnant and have children. (Soon, transgender women with transplanted uteruses will be able to conceive and carry their own babies, too!) Inclusive language, gender-affirming healthcare, and perinatal support for transgender parents is important for us, our babies, and our families.

Everyone’s body contains both testosterone and estrogen. The balance of these hormones can affect the behavior of different organs and cycles, such as menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation. Changing estrogen levels control the menstrual cycle. When someone has higher testosterone levels, either naturally or because of medications, their estrogen levels are lower and they may not menstruate. However, that doesn’t mean that pregnancy is impossible. Trans men, genderfluid, genderqueer, and nonbinary people can get pregnant—often, without medical interventions.

Read the full article on our blog - https://getplume.co/blog/trans-fertility-and-pregnancy/

[unhingedcherhorowitz]

Everyone who gets pregnant was born female. It’s very simple. “Transmen, genderqueer, genderfuild and non-binary” that’s a lot of words to say someone born female.

(Soon, transgender women with transplanted uteruses will be able to conceive and carry their own babies, too!)

No they will not. They are males. Harvesting the uteruses of women is not a viable future plan. The uterus in someone’s body does more than grow babies. And a uterus is not all it takes to grow a healthy baby and carry a pregnancy to term. A hysterectomy is serious surgery and women who’ve had them removed for emergency treatment are lifelong medical patients and are monitored closely by their doctors because they become vulnerable to other health issues. Pregnancy is a fact of life for female people, not a “gender affirming experience”. Any move to harvest, buy and sell uteruses to males would affect the poorest and most vulnerable women in the world. It’s an abhorrent thought and the trans ethos of chopping bodies up and swapping parts for aesthetic and gender affirming reasons is medically dangerous and abusive.

[garden-owler]

Do not believe these lies.

[enlightenings-deactivated202110]

No male person will ever be able to give birth. Men and women’s bodies are different. Uterus transplants will never be possible.

[ms-gay-frogs]

“soon males can have uteri transplanted into them” but having a uterus put inside you doesn’t immediately mean your body can actually gestate a whole fucking pregnancy? i mean, IF the body didn’t immediately reject the organ (and that’s a pretty big IF), how would the trans woman’s body regulate the hormones? how would they feed the child, grow it, etc? how would they deliver it? they’d need to be in a hospital 24/7 to even have a shot and even then, it’s so unlikely.

where’s that study where they did similar with rats, and the female rats had to have their circulatory systems sewed together with the male’s because the male rats fucking blood wasn’t sufficient in gestating?

these people never think these things through. honestly, if you’re that stupid that you’d implant a whole fucking uterus in yourself just to even have a shot at being impregnated, and you die in the process, i say good riddance. another idiot off this planet for all i care.

[femaille]

Let your daughters exist as they are! Stop forcing them into dresses and snagging their hair with bows! Stop making them grow their hair down to their waist, complaining when it tangles, yanking the brush through, making her cry.

Let your daughter be herself. She is not you. She will be okay. Let her eat. Let her grow. Let her learn about what she’s curious about. Let her clothes get dirty and muddy as she plays. Let her grow muscles instead of developing an eating disorder.

Let your daughter live.

Dr. Amy Tuteur is an obstetrician-gynecologist.

“I had one of my most interesting jobs in 2000. That year I went to work for a new start-up called iEmily.com, a health website for teenage girls. I wrote the column Ask the Ob-Gyn. (…) Surprisingly, over the 12 months or so of the project, virtually all the questions I received fell into one of two categories. The first, and smaller category was weight, specifically “am I fat?” (…) Far more common were questions like this:

Dear Dr. Amy,

I’m 14. I’ve been going out with this cute guy. We just had our one week anniversary yesterday. He wants me to go down on him. I’m not sure what to do. What do you think? (…)

I always said no. I never said yes. At first I was concerned that the girls would stop writing in because they would think I was too judgmental, but I couldn’t in all honesty say anything else. I was startled to find that the more I said no, the more girls would ask me for my opinion. (…)

Keep in mind that all the questions and all the answers were visible. Yet every time I said no, girl after girl would write in to ask me whether I thought that she should sleep with her boyfriend despite the fact that I had told the previous 10 girls no. Sometimes I would get 12 or even 15 questions in a row that were all asking the exact same question.

At first, I thought they were checking to see if I would ever give a different answer. Gradually I realized that something else was going on. They wanted me to say no. They wanted someone to give them permission to do what they had wanted to do all along, refuse the demands of acquaintances or strangers. Evidently there was no one in their lives whom they could count upon to watch out for their interests, to remind them that they were worthy of respect, and to tell them that they deserved to be healthy, which meant not taking health risks.

As a clinician and mother, I found the seemingly endless stream of girls asking for permission to say no both touching and horrifying. It was touching that they were so desperate for guidelines that they would ask a woman they didn’t know for advice, and it was horrifying that they did not feel that they had a right to speak up for themselves.

The job ended after a year when the start-up ran out of money. Ever since, I have pondered how it is that we tell our daughters that they can be astronauts or soccer stars, yet when a boy asks them to drop to their knees and “service” them, they don’t feel entitled to refuse. While aiming for career achievement is a worthwhile goal, we should start with the basics.”

[triptihosmrti]

can’t believe this is controversial but women don’t owe you sex and withholding sex is never ever an ‘abuse tactic’ and saying so is a rapist red flag ♥

[the-queer-demon]

there is no such thing as a swerf. radical feminists want all pimps and johns executed, but we support the actual victims of sex work. please actually read up on this subject instead of running your mouth based on some porn addict's misogynistic take on how evil ex-prostitutes are "swerfs" trying to ruin everyone else's fun.

okay, but? do you not understand that this is exactly why swerfs are bad? Because they see sex workers as victims instead of real people. Yes, there is so much wrong with sex work and porn, which is exactly why legalization and protection under the law is so important instead of just labeling every sex worker as a victim who can't speak for themselves

[femclasscirce]

Uh... why do you imply that victims are not real people?

Legalization does jack shit to protect the women in prostitution. Look at the Netherlands, look at Germany: the only people that are actually protected are the sex buyers and the pimps. Legalization & decrim increase trafficking, because once its legal more men will want to go to prostituted women, but women won't suddenly want to go into prostitution in droves. This means that the demand will outweigh the supply by magnitudes, and the only way to remedy that is trafficking. In Germany, where I lived for a decade, most women on the streets don't even speak German. Trafficking is everywhere, in plain sight. And even the women who are not trafficked are subjected to insane levels of exploitation (see the Pascha in Cologne or the Paradies brothel chain for some good examples)

Maybe listen to the countless prostitution survivors who have been saying this for ages?

[psspsspussy]

They've done it! They've swallowed so many political purity rules and so much propaganda it's a bad thing to even acknowledge victims of harm even exist now!

[ms-gay-frogs]

One study found that "82% [of prostitutes] had been physically assaulted; 83% had been threatened with a weapon; 68% had been raped while working as prostitutes."

Another report found that 90% of prostitutes want to leave their job but don't have the resources to.

One study found that "63% of women in prostitution were raped, 71% were physically assaulted, and 68% met the criteria for post traumatic stress disorder."

(these rates of PTSD are also similar to those who fought in wars and those who experienced state-organized torture)

the same source i linked before also discusses a report in the British Medical Journal, which found that "half of the women interviewed had experienced being slapped, punched, beaten, robbed, threatened with a weapon, held against their will, strangled, kidnapped, and/or raped."

aaaand once again, the same source also discusses how 50% of prostitutes' deaths are caused by murder.

just look at that fucking mortality rate. how can you NOT say these women are victims? you must be a fucking demon to think that this is okay.

“War—men’s childbirth. They give birth to death, as women do to life, inevitably and with courage.”

— Natalie Clifford Barney, from Pensées d’une Amazone, 1920

[inqilabi]

Whenever I see people deny the relationship between porn and misogyny, I think about how Dr. Donnerstein, who is perhaps one of the last researchers to have been able to conduct experimental research on porn before it was curtailed for its potential harm by ethics boards, stated that the relationship between porn and subsequent aggression towards women is much stronger statistically than the relationship between smoking and lung cancer.

I remember that when researchers first established a causal link between smoking and lung cancer in the 1950s, AMA rejected it and said it was correlational only. AMA was being funded by the tobacco industry. The 1985 AMA president also happened to owned a farm where tobacco was grown [1]. Today rejecting that smoking causes lung cancer would be denial of empirical knowledge.

And yet, despite the abundance of empirical evidence on the harm of porn, people are still in denial. Forget establishing a causal relationship, people are unwilling to admit that there is even a correlation.

Donnerstein actually had to create sexually explicit material that was not violent for his experimental studies. He said that he could not find any material that was non-violent, didn’t have unequal power between the man & the woman, and where the woman was not depicted enjoying the violence against her. This was in the 1980s so imagine the porn of today. Donnerstein also testified at a civil rights antipornography ordinance that the findings from early experimental studies on porn were so compelling that research ethic boards restricted them and required that the male subject population be below the normal range of aggressive traits [2]:

 The National Institute of Mental Health and the National Science Foundation and our own subjects committee will not allow us to take hostile males and expose them to this type of material because of the risk to the community. They obviously know something some of us do not.

When people regurgitate that ‘catharsis’ theory saying that women find catharsis in watching porn or participating in bdsm, I think about this testimony from Dr. Pauline Bart on how social scientists refer to an established learning model when studying general violence. But pull stuff from thin air when that violence is against women, i.e., that violence is porn:

There were two [reports] that came out the same time, one on violence and one on pornography. The one on violence was based on ordinary learning theory, which is a substantial theoretical perspective inside psychology. And the theory is, the more you see, the more you do. 

The one on pornography, however, came out with a different explanation, the catharsis model, which was, the more you see, the less you do … . [T]here is absolutely no data for the last analysis

Pornification: paying women to act in a way that pleases men, to convince you to do it for free (at great expense to you, free for any man who can see you).

The bikini design of today was introduced in 1946 by a frenchman named Louis Rèard, who created a smaller bikini based on previous designs, en vogue today. No French model would wear the skimpy design, so Rèard hired an 18 year old nude dancer from a casino to model the bikini for photos.

Rèard exploited a child to model a swimsuit grown women refused money for. Today, an entire industry of weight loss, hair removal, and plastic surgeries revolve around selling women paths to their “bikini bodies”, when women never wanted to wear bikinis in the first place!

Rèard’s design focused on sexualizing all women, the Wiki article about Micheline Bernadini, the child model, says “the bikini was a hit, especially with men, and Bernadini received over 50,000 fan letters.”

[exjade]

The fact that bikinis are normalized has always upset me so much: we are just so used to it that we don’t bat an eye, but think about it: for bathing suits, males wear big, baggy shorts that go down to their knees and aren’t at all tight-- while women wear skimpy, tiny little pieces of clothing that are skin-tight and just barely cover their intimate parts - and this is seen as completely normal and acceptable. Women being walking porn is just the norm. That’s the society we live in. 

[fridaandnigel]

In the recently released movie 'Girls Can't Surf', (which is a great movie btw) it is described how the surf wear execs couldn't understand who was buying up all the men's boardshorts of a certain size. In the end they sent someone down to the beach to take a look at who was wearing them and to their surprise, they discovered that it was the women who had taken to wearing them - the surf wear giants hadn't twigged that women didn't always want to wear bikinis and for surfing they just don't stay on very well and women can and do surf and were taking it up in growing numbers. Their market doubled.
