The EDI (Equality, Diversity and Inclusion) Industry is Out of Control
by Caroline ffiske, The Daily Sceptic:
In June of this year, more than two million people looked with bemusement at Kings College NHS’s announcement that it had installed a permanent display of the gender ideology flag on one of its buildings.
Bemusement for three reasons.
- Gender ideology is harmful pseudo-science – it posits that we all have an inner gender identity around which it is reasonable to align our bodies by hormonal and surgical interventions which are irreversible and cause life-long harm. How can an actual NHS Trust complacently endorse this?
- The NHS is cash-strapped – why is it spending money on promoting harmful ideology?
- Flags matter – we should want to take them seriously. There are regulations around their display on public buildings. Kings College NHS effectively flouts these regulations; it’s a painting of a flag but it loudly does what flags do: “this is what we stand for.”
So what internal process led to such a prominent and public commitment to pseudo-science from an NHS Trust? What conversations took place? What money was spent? Does anyone dare object?
I decided to find out using the FOI process.
