Very strange. Trans doctors are allowed by the General Medical Council to start all over again with their shiny new gender identity, and all past records wiped clean:
Wes Streeting has raised concerns after a Telegraph investigation found that doctors who change gender are able to have past wrongdoings scrubbed from the public record.
The Health Secretary said the General Medical Council (GMC), which regulates doctors, should urgently overhaul its practices, adding the situation should “not have been allowed”.
The GMC holds a public register of all doctors, allowing the public to check whether a medic has been subject to restrictions or suspensions, or has been struck off.
However, on Thursday the watchdog admitted that it erases the public disciplinary history of doctors who change their gender identities.
It raises the prospect that medics seeking to hide a chequered disciplinary history could exploit the system by choosing to change their gender identity in order to erase their past. It also means a female patient who specifically requested a female doctor would be unable to find out if their doctor was born a man.
More evidence of institutional capture. But good for Streeting, calling this out….
