What if Sandie Peggie......... identifies as a Muslim Woman?

It is not normal behaviour but neither is misrepresenting your sex. He was setting her up, taking detailed notes as he knew a tribunal setting would be the eventual outcome - it is, just not in the form he wanted it to be, playing the anonymous victim. For me, the employer has failed in their duty of care, prioritising needs of deviant a deviant man over that of an experienced nurse.

What sex specific space was she sharing given that there are lockers in the changing room? It sounds like the nurse wasn’t willing to share any space with a trans person as she also refused to communicate in a work capacity.

Most discrimination cases rely on a comparator. We are mostly fairly comfortable accepting that "a man without a trans identity" is the comparator for "a man with a trans identity" so it seems like a fair question to me, e.g.:

SP is a woman with no known religious belief. A fair comparator might be a woman with a strongly held religious conviction that requires the privacy and dignity of separate changing spaces.

I wonder what happened to her from him to make her feel she couldnt look him in the eye. Seems to be she was bullied by him, him taking notes every which way about where she chose to go into the toilets or changing room

I openly want to push why a male Doctor believes it to be acceptable to use an exclusively female changing room, intimidating and provoking an experienced nurse who was heavily menstruating, not that her cycle defines whether a male should be in a female changing room or not in my view. Surely the legal track of the employment tribunal would be entirely different, and his conduct would be impacting on her religious beliefs and privacy? Sandie Peggie is a white woman, is presumably not protected by any religious beliefs, but why? The Muslim community would not stand for his conduct and rightly so. Will any decision not in Ms Peggies favour be subsequently upended by Beth/Brian/Frank imposing himself on the women's changing room when a woman of colour or Muslim woman is enjoying the privacy of that space?

But you can have your knob and balls removed and a vagina fashioned surgically. And those transitioning (properly) have testosterone reducing drugs.

Removing or inverting your penis does not change your biological sex. Neither does taking any drugs. Born male always male.

Any staff member who refuses to communicate professionally with a colleague for ideological reasons cannot and should not be in a hospital setting.

So a trans person can't continue in their career? You gave to give up everything if you are trans? I'm gender critical and never agreed with self I.D, but what you are proposing is oppression.

The nurse seems to have behaved unprofessionally here. Regardless of her views on trans issues, she needs to treat colleagues respectfully in a work setting.

It is not sustainable to have a situation where she refuses to communicate with the doctor about patient care.

She may think the transitioning doctor shouldn’t be using the female changing room, but she should have raised her concerns through the appropriate channels rather than being rude.

In any event, there are cubicles in the changing room so this seems to be more a case of ideological and dogmatic views being put before what is best for staff and patients.

So you're saying anyone can be a woman then? Men with penises, baby boys, my dog? All they need to do is say "I'm a woman" and magically they are?

I don't smoke. From what I understand from TRAs, trans women are women. A woman was raped in a hospital ward and was informed that there were only women on the ward. The person who raped her was trans.

So according to the NHS for a start.

I'd blame management for this. The doctor can't continue to use the men's changing room, because he us transitioning and presents as female. They should have addressed the lack of changing space. The Nurse should have been raising this internally rather than let an issue in the workplace affect patient care, especially the care of children.

But you can have your knob and balls removed and a vagina fashioned surgically. And those transitioning (properly) have testosterone reducing drugs.

"Dr Upton said previous incidents with Ms Peggie had escalated to a stage where it "had the potential to impact care" of patients.
Dr Upton cited an incident on 18 December, where a young child was brought in.
The tribunal was told Ms Peggie refused to acknowledge or look at Dr Upton when discussing the patient."

That's worrying tbf. If the nurse can't accept a trans person to that extent, she shouldn't be in nursing.

Nope- that’s impossible. I’m sure “many women” see the ideology of the SNP government as harmful. That doesn’t mean that hospitals shouldn’t employ staff who support the SNP.

It’s not for the nurse to decide who gets to be in a specific space. The hospital had a process and rightly or wrongly, it was determined that the doctor was to change in the female changing room (which has cubicles available).

It cannot be for any individual staff member to unilaterally decide that they won’t communicate with a colleague for ideological reasons.

So when you wrote "The person who raped her was trans" were you referring to a male or female?
