Midwifery students at a university in Scotland were instructed on how to care for a “birthing person” who has male genitalia.
The instruction at Edinburgh Napier University was part of an online module on the proper use of a catheter while providing care for a “pregnant or birthing person.” A catheter drains the bladder and is sometimes used by pregnant women while they are giving birth.
“It is important to note that while most times the birthing person will have female genitalia, you may be caring for a pregnant or birthing person who is transitioning from male to female and may still have external male genitalia,” the lesson said.

Student midwives in Scotland are being taught how to care for pregnant men, prompting a backlash.
Those studying the medical speciality are being shown how to look after biological males who have given birth or are preparing to, including how to apply catheters.
At Edinburgh Napier University, students are being taught about it as part of an online module.
In a change to its advice on catheterisation, Napier switched “women” to “birthing people”.
Some women have to be catheterised during labour to empty their bladder, and the module includes guidance to help women.
As part of the module, instructions are also being offered on how to catheterise a penis.
The instruction notes: “Male persons should be warned of discomfort.”
… But new course work has resulted in a mixed response and has been criticised for promoting the “biologically impossible”.
It is understood some students are worried about speaking out over fears of questioning “inclusive” coursework.
But SNP MP Joanna Cherry has hit out at the module and said it is “an attempt to produce trans-inclusive language”.
The politician added that it is contributing to “poor-quality, scientifically inaccurate teaching materials”.

Several students in the course were reportedly disturbed by the lesson but feared speaking out against “inclusive” class materials, the Times of London reported.
The materials were obtained by the feminist website Reduxx, and they provide detailed instructions on inserting a catheter into a penis.
In a (Link): statement to the Scottish Sun, the university said it was committed to upholding the “professional standards” of the Scottish Nurse and Midwifery Council while being “inclusive of all people, including those who identify within the LGBTQ+ communities.”
The university emphasized that “the teaching materials will be updated as required.”
