Nurses in Tasmania can make much more money assisting with “gender affirming” surgery than critical emergency nursing.

In a great windfall for nurses they are paid double time to assist in surgeries that mimic the opposite sex but never change a person’s sex. It is cruel and deceptive but very profitable.

Meanwhile Tasmanian nurses who choose shifts to work in the emergency department get paid 25 per cent less than their counterparts.

“Gender affirming” surgery is a euphemism for removing or altering perfectly healthy body parts in a deceptive attempt to mimic the opposite sex. Of course it never achieves the goal of becoming the opposite sex as that is written on every single cell in the body that contains a nuclear, on the skeletal system, endocrine system and more. It is completely superficial and often leads to serious complications and creates a life long pharmaceutical consumer.

Hospital insiders claim that this “gender affirming” surgery list is taking up resources that could be used for public patients awaiting surgeries.

An email to nurses from the hospital states that each operating list will consist of two patients, “with procedures lasting approximately 3 to 4 hours each under general anaesthetic”.

“As a result, staff would be required to commit to the entire day,” it says.

The nurse unit manager says one Post Anaesthetic Recovery Unit nurse will be required for each date, to work a 9.5 hour shift.

“To recognise this additional commitment, shifts will be paid at double time rates for the duration that you would work,” the email says.

“Given the personal and often significant nature of these procedures for patients, we are looking for recovery nurses who are committed to providing respectful, compassionate, and inclusive care.

“Thank you for considering this opportunity to support an important and valued service for our community.”

So basically those who deny reality and are happy to participate in the deception that a person has changed sex will be renumerated accordingly.

A hospital staff member, who spoke to The Australian on the condition that their name not be disclosed, said other nurses working Saturday shifts were only ever paid time and a half, with the double time being offered to those assisting with gender procedures representing an extra 25 per cent.

“It’s unprecedented … It’s creating a two-tiered system,” the staff member said.
