Trans Dr Slithers Into Aus

Medicine is supposed to be science-based. As such, we would expect the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to be guided by science. Except that, clearly, it isn’t.

Australia’s medical regulator has registered as “female” the transgender doctor at the centre of a landmark UK legal dispute over women’s spaces, allowing the emergency medic to work in two NSW hospitals.

Ted Upton Beth Upton, 30, who began transitioning from male to female in 2022, gave sworn evidence to the UK Employment Tribunal of an intention to treat patients who had specifically requested a female doctor.

In other words, this autogynephile fetishist man is openly stating his intention to force his way into the most private aspects of women’s lives, over their stated opposition.

Even worse, this supposed practitioner of medical science completely rejects the most fundamental precepts of science, biology and medicine.

Under oath, the medic also described the concept of biological sex as a “nebulous dog whistle”, claiming to be “biologically female” on the basis that “I’m not a robot, so I am biological and my identity is female.”

Read that again: a doctor flatly denying the existence of biological sex.

As, apparently, so does AHPRA.

The Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency registered Dr Elisabeth Ruth Annikki Upton as an unaccredited emergency medicine trainee on April 9, listing the medic’s sex as “female”.

AHPRA defines a “female” as any individual “whose biological sex is that of a female” and anyone whose “gender identity or gender expression is that of a female”.

It’s fair to say, then, that AHPRA is explicitly anti-science.

So anti-science, in fact, that it harshly punishes anyone who promotes actual science.

AHPRA and the Medical Board of Australia in March effectively gagged Queensland psychiatrist Andrew Amos, banning him from making online statements about gender medicine and barring him from having direct clinical contact with any patients.

Fellow Queensland child psychiatrist Jillian Spencer is also being investigated by the regulator for sharing on social media an article from The Australian that quoted her concerns about gender-affirming medical treatment for children.

But they’ll let a mentally ill man get his sleazy hooks on unsuspecting women.

Women’s Forum Australia CEO Rachael Wong said it was “deeply alarming” that AHPRA had registered Dr Upton as “female”.

“(It) raises serious and unresolved questions about the protection of women’s sex-based rights in Australia, particularly in healthcare,” Ms Wong said.

“This exact scenario has already caused serious conflict, distress and legal action in the UK, including a finding that a female nurse was harassed by the NHS after being forced to share a female changing room with Dr Upton. It is extraordinary that AHPRA appears to be importing the same risks into Australia.”

So, now we know why Upton is fleeing to Australia: because not even the UK is prepared to indulge his autogynephilia.

The case – which has so far cost UK taxpayers the equivalent of more than $750,000 – was brought by Scottish nurse Sandie Peggie, 56, after she was suspended from work as an NHS accident and emergency nurse for refusing to share staff female changing facilities with the biologically male Dr Upton.

In December, the tribunal upheld Ms Peggie’s harassment claim against her employer, NHS Fife, but dismissed claims of discrimination and victimisation over the Christmas 2023 incident. No findings have been made against Dr Upton.

Ms Peggie is appealing the ruling and could take the dispute all the way to the UK Supreme Court.

This would be the UK Supreme Court that, unlike the AHPRA and the Medical Board of Australia, actually upholds basic scientific truths. The UK Supreme Court ruled unanimously last year that “woman” and “sex” in the Equality Act 2010 refer to biological sex, putting an end to creepy men in dresses with nonsensical ‘Gender Recognition Certificates (GRCs)’, from the legal definition of women.

Never underestimate the predatory determination of the cross-dressing set, though.

Ms Wong said Dr Upton was “not only male, he is a male who has openly disregarded women’s boundaries, privacy and consent”.

“He refused to respect his female colleagues’ privacy in their own changing room, and gave sworn evidence that he would treat female patients who had specifically requested a female doctor,” she said […]

“It is no surprise Dr Upton has chosen Australia. We have become a utopia for men who claim to be women and who expect access to female-only spaces, services and sports – and who are increasingly protected by the law when women dare to say no.”

These men will literally go to the ends of the earth to get at unsuspecting women.
