UK Government Proposes Banning Trans Women from Female Hospital Wards

Health Secretary Steve Barclay is planning to update NHS rules to ban trans women from female wards.
The proposals aim to restore "sex-specific" spaces and language in healthcare.
The government says the changes will protect the privacy, dignity and safety of female patients.
LGBTQ+ groups criticize the plans as restricting healthcare access for trans patients.
The proposals are part of wider efforts by the Conservative government to overhaul NHS policies on gender identity.
