On the one hand it’s a random Reddit thread, on the other hand, a lot of people who are likely to have first had knowledge aren’t actively disputing the presence of success of the motion and there are anecdotal confirmations of both.
I will admit I probably jumped the gun here, I was just happy to finally see some trans positive sentiment from a UK institution.
Resident doctors working in the NHS also condemned the supreme court’s ruling on gender as having “no basis in science or medicine”.
Medics at the British Medical Association’s (BMA) resident doctors conference in London passed a motion stating that “attempting to impose a rigid binary has no basis in science or medicine”.
While the motion was passed at the conference it will not become BMA policy unless voted on at the union’s annual meeting later this year.
That’s fair, as far as I know it’s a screenshot form the redient doctors conference.
I went digging for more information after your (very fair) comment, I didn’t find it in the agenda https://www.bma.org.uk/media/g2ofmswk/resident-doctors-conference-2025-motions-for-voting.pdf
But I have found an explanation for that and a somewhat dubious confirmation via this thread on Reddit, https://old.reddit.com/r/doctorsUK/comments/1k97tti/british_medical_association_conference_calls/mpc84s8/ wherin a doctor states that it was an emergency motion and they voted in favour. (Side node; a lot of people in that thread are unhappy about the BMA acting beyond the role of a trade union)

The BMA residents conference did pass the motion, but it won’t be official policy unless it passes at the annual meeting this year:
That’s more like a credible source, thank you!
