Feminism: Sex and gender discussions

Yes gruit it's a guarantee that someone will turn up on a thread to voice the hurty feelz of male nonces and perverts. It really does reinforce what the real agenda is here. And it's not a genuine concern for Human Rights.

Have not yet Read The Full Thread but the hospital owes Jennifer Melle a full, public apology. And, reassurance that this will never happen again. That no nurse will ever again go through what she went through.

gruit · 21/01/2026 10:52

she didn’t do anything wrong.
Its interesting how invested TRAs are in the correct use of pronouns for bloody paodophiles

I’ve read the entire thread and I’m honestly disappointed noone has mentioned this investigation was for a potential breach of patient confidentiality not misgendering. She gave media interviews with a level of detail that could easily have identified the patient. Even without naming that is potentially an NMC breach.

If a nurse refused to acknowledge a patient’s same-sex partner as their husband, told them it was their “religious belief”, then went to the press after a complaint and disclosed a load of that gay patient’s personal information to the public that might have led them to be identified, people would (rightly) be furious. 😞

I mentioned this upthread when I was relaying what is said on reddit

I disagree that Jennifer personally has shared enough details to identify the person in question. Nowhere near.

NotBadConsidering · 21/01/2026 10:34

Isn’t it funny how none of the regular TRA posters ever turn up on the trans paedophile threads?🤔

Fact versus fiction. That a married same-sex couple are husband and husband or wife and wife is a fact. That a man is a woman is fiction.

Jennifer Melle did not compromise patient confidentiality, that's why they dismissed the complaint, there was no case to answer. So nothing to be furious about, sorry.

Like pretty much everyone else on this thread, I'm both relieved for Jennifer and furious that it happened and will presumably continue to happen until the people instigating and enforcing these policies are held to account.

guinnessguzzler · 21/01/2026 09:48

Fantastic news but ridiculous that yet another woman has been put through so much stress because of this nonsense ideology.

bigbadbernard · 21/01/2026 07:45

Is any gardening required? I had a look but could only find one apparently by a friend, wasn't sure it was genuine.

Nurse Melle was on the phone to a doctor discussing the treatment the male prisoner was to have and he overheard her. The fact that he is a male was particularly relevant to his treatment.

Yes, I believe they were discussing a catheter, where the correct sex of a patient is vitally important!

Pleasantsort2 · 21/01/2026 00:59

I am so relieved for you Jennifer , if you are on here. You should never of had to go through this. I wish you good luck for the future ! Thank for standing up to this terrible ideology!❤️

mazedasamarchhare · 21/01/2026 00:15

Good for Jennifer.
But how dare the NHS, which is apparently on its knees, waste so much of the tax payers money on these endless court cases. If this doesn’t show that many chief execs need sweeping out of their cronie-ism, I don’t know what will. It’s rife with nepotism and corruption, Bevin would be turning in his grave.

NotMyRealAccount · 20/01/2026 23:33

Jennifer Melle's bravery and steadfastness under persecution is phenomenal. She should never have been subjected to this appalling treatment. When she should have been supported after being abused by a patient, she was punished instead, and she is right not to let the matter drop.

Good news that Jennifer Melle won't face any further action about 'misgendering'.

But more than anything else I'm furious. I'm absolutely disgusted that an innocent woman doing her job despite facing an aggressive man has been dragged through all this shit. No one, at any level, should have let this happen. What an outrageous waste of NHS time and money on an indefensible case. It sounds like either a personal vendetta or a bunch of transactivists in management pushing their own agenda.

The fact that the man was a racist paedophile who had openly insulted her makes it even more bizarre that anyone could somehow turn it round and make her out to be the aggressor. How was his abuse of her overlooked? Or doesn't it matter, as she's just a woman? A woman's place really is in the wrong.

It speaks to a broken NHS where senior management are self-serving, evil charlatans who have totally diverted the organisation from it's main cause.

I was involved with the audit (have namechanged since) and one trust had a strategy that mentioned US slavery reparations and anti-colonialisation. It read as if the trust in question was located in the US. It was literally batshit and only had a very very glancing relationship with actually providing healthcare rather than social engineering.

This seemingly goes unchallenged - they spend money on a batshit anti-science ideology which they know will cost hundreds of thousands in legal fees even when it's obvious they'll lose, at the cost of patient care.

When they're so busy trying to impose the latest luxury ideology on victims patients and persecuting nurses like Jennifer, it's not bloody surprising that A&E waits are so long.

The BBC article says Jennifer called the racist pos 'Mr'

This hearing followed an incident in May 2024 where Melle was racially abused by a transgender patient after she addressed them as "Mr".

First a bit of an eyeroll at the BBC using 'them'. I wonder if the entire editorial team got together to agonise about that. Secondly, it's sort of besides the point but didn't the paedophile overhear a conversation? As far as I'm aware she never addressed him as 'Mr'.

Yes and she only explained her views to him after he initiated a racially abusive confrontation with her about it. She even offered a compromise of using his name when talking about him instead of male pronouns. The BBC are victim blaming again.

It's really insane.
Is this kind of thing what this era is really going to be remembered for?
That a woman whose job is to provide best care which includes correct clinical info to another professional...age, weight, um, sex...has a spurious complaint based on an overheard fragment, the complaint is then upheld and followed thru, and this nurse is made to feel like a criminal.
You know the only reason this is dropped is the shit PR those that hung the nurse out attracted, and the mounting cases of NHS nurses winning their cases.
No publicity or negative hearing outcomes, and this nurse would have continued to be hung, drawn and quartered.
An absolute sickness in the heart of our ruling classes.

storminabuttercup · 20/01/2026 23:12

Going to catch up on all the posts tomorrow but likely i’m saying the same thing, it’s rare I’d advocate suing the nhs but I hope she does.
fucking madness

The NHS really hates it's women nurses. Of all the things I could write, I don't think I ever reckoned I would ever write that.
Men playing at being women, whether NHS staff or paedophile patients, now the NHS is for you, but against women. Throw in women patients lumbered in mixed sex wards as well.

KittyWilkinson · 20/01/2026 22:44

NHS supports an abusive racist paedophile over a woman doing her best to care for him. Yet another shitshow.

I'm so relieved for her and her family. Well done that courageous woman and everyone who supports these tribunal cases, in whatever way you can manage. You are all stars Flowers

WeMeetInFairIthilien · 20/01/2026 22:15

Courage calls to courage.

Well done Jennifer.

I am so sorry that you have had to go through this.

Bonne chance, for April

stickygotstuck · 20/01/2026 22:13

Congratulations Jennifer!

So very glad to hear this but, like so many, absolutely furious about the two years of hell for her and her family.

Great someone's seen the light and this case was dismissed, but I look forward to a positive result for Nurse Melle in the court case in April.
