London: Men are being asked if they are pregnant before undergoing scans at National Health Service facilities in England, it has emerged.Male cancer patients and those having X-rays and MRI scans are being asked if they could be expecting after the British government removed the word “female” from the law governing the medical procedures and replaced it with “individuals”.
Campaigners on Monday warned that the policy was part of a “clinically dangerous” practice to record gender and not sex on medical records. They pointed out that those born male cannot get pregnant. Trans men who were born female can conceive.
