"May I have a female nurse?" "No."

Meet Jonathan Harrow. You don't really have a choice

We’ve known for a while that the NHS is in the grip of gender ideology, but almost every day new information comes to light to show the situation is even worse than previously feared.

This is Dr Jonathan Harrow MD, a man with two PhDs, who’s lectured on health at universities and had senior medical jobs all over the world and who mostly, it seems, presents and identifies as a man.

However, despite being so qualified in medicine, a few weeks ago he started a community job as a nurse practitioner. The role involves wearing a nurse’s uniform. He attended the interview dressed in women’s clothing.

Since starting the job there’s been a common theme in his online posts - he wants people to validate his choice of wearing a nurse’s uniform, and alludes to the fact that the women’s tunic accommodates breasts and a bra.

Just a few days into his new job and Jon had to deal with a female patient who requested that the nurse treating her was also a woman. Instead of agreeing to her request, Jon decided to ‘educate’ her that he was in fact a ‘woman’.

A woman who saw the above post sent it to NHS England Customer Contact Centres, presumably thinking that all that was needed was for them to see it and action would be taken. However, they replied to her to say they don’t deal with social media posts and showed no interest in finding out more information, and said she should do the work if she wants this unethical behaviour stopped, by finding out who employs Harrow and to contact his HR department directly.

This is not the first time that a man who seems to have a fetish for women’s clothing has been employed in an inappropriate role by the NHS. ‘Rachell’ Dios is an NHS treatment and recovery ward for women manager, who moved his office onto the locked ward so that he was next to vulnerable women, some of whom had brain damage. This is Rachell Dios (on the right).

NHS England Customer Contact Centres’ lack of interest in pursuing action against a man who refused a request for a female nurse also comes after a hospital apologised to a rape survivor who it branded a bigot because she requested that a woman carry out her breast-screening appointment.

There’s also this.

This comes as a leading London hospital has said it will provide ‘female to male’ transgender surgery to confused women and girls for free, and we only know about this because it was spotted hidden in a job advertisement. The top two comments in that link, which have thousands of likes each, are outrage that patients are on unacceptably long waiting lists for a range of surgeries, including cancer, but the NHS is still finding the money to fund this.

UK health secretary Sajid Javid has recently been praised for ‘waking up’ to ideological capture in the NHS. He needs to act before another young woman requests a female nurse, and gets instead Jonathan Harrow.
