HUNDREDS of transgender NHS patients diagnosed with illnesses that only biological men get were recorded in official figures as women.
Analysis by The Sun suggests self-identifying trans patients had their gender noted as female at least 549 times in the year to April for issues including male infertility.
The NHS England figures included 313 admissions for hyperplasia in the prostate — an enlargement of the gland biological women do not have.
Another 41 were for “disorders of male genitals”, two had priapism — long-lasting, painful erections — and four had testicular atrophy.
The NHS lets trans patients be identified as the gender of their choice without a gender recognition certificate by writing to their general practitioner.
GP Dr Renee Hoenderkamp told The Sun: “It’s preposterous and it’s actually potentially dangerous.
“If you’re looking for trends, you won’t see them, because the numbers won’t be right.
“The statistics should be changed to record biological sex.
“Patients would still be treated the same, but doctors would have more accurate information to work with.
“Biological women needing treatment for male infertility is impossible.
“It’s an example of the indoctrination of our major institutions.
Another said: “There will be confusion if charts we’re supposed to trust tell us women have ‘disorders of male genitals’.”
The NHS said: “While many of these cases will be recording errors, and these represent 0.003 per cent of all hospital admissions, this has no bearing on how patients are treated.
