Is The Nhs Taking Political Correctness Two Steps Too Far?
The trans trap: Women who identify as men are NOT offered routine NHS breast cancer screening... but men who identify as women WILL get cervical smear tests – even though they don’t have a cervix.
Conservative MP David Davies, who has campaigned against Government plans to let people legally ‘self-identify’ their own gender, said: ‘This NHS effort to be politically correct is putting the lives of women who claim to be men at risk.’

What an utterly ridiculous situation – and all in an effort to avoid causing offence. Barmy!

I don’t know whether you’ve read the PHE leaflet, but I have, and it’s explained in better detail than in the Daily Mail piece.

Trans men, registered at their GP as women will not get smear tests. I don’t know why the Daily Mail has suggested this.
Please, please look at the booklet. It will outline exactly what is offered.

//Men who identify as female are being offered cervical screening tests even though they don't have a cervix//
//Women’s campaigner Laura Perrins told the Mail On Sunday: “We’ve now got to the point where state collusion with this transgender agenda is endangering the health of women.
“It’s a ludicrous use of NHS resources to invite men for a cervical smear test, while it’s immoral and dangerous not to invite women.”
This comes after the British Medical Association advised members not to call pregnant women “expectant mothers” but “pregnant people” instead.//

From the booklet:
//If you are a trans woman aged 25 to 64 you won’t need to be screened as you don’t have a cervix.//
Where a trans woman is registered as a woman at her GP, they could be invited for cervical screening, but they won’t. At the point that the patient registers at the GP, the GP will advise the NHS that cervical screening is not required.
Trans women won’t be invited for smear tests because their GPs know that they won’t have cervixes.
I’m not sure if that’s the correct plural of cervix.
