Jennifer Melle charges dismissed!!!

Very glad her employer decided not to punish her further. But this is still an awful situation overall.

They already issued her a final written warning and a referral to the NMC for "misgendering", gave her no support for the racial abuse, and dragged her through this disciplinary process, so the damage has already been done. I hope she has a good case at tribunal and takes them to the cleaners for this.

Also there's no indication that the "preferred pronoun" policy, nor the punishments for not pretending that men are women, have been remoted. This could happen again to someone else and probably will.

Fantastic news 🥂

It's disgraceful that these nurses had to rely on right wing christian fundamentalist organisations (and the kindness of strangers) to fight their corners.%

It makes my blood boil that their unions effectively turned their backs on them. DEI means nothing if it doesn't include safety, dignity and respect for women.

Hurrah 👏👏👏💚🤍💜

Over to you Wes.

WE SAVED JENNIFER MELLE!

The NHS has dropped their charges against Jennifer and reinstated her.

A HUGE thank you to over 22,000 people who signed our petition, and for the amazing @ChristianLegal and @DarlingtonUnion for their steadfast support for Jennifer.

You are heroes.

From about 25 min in. Very dishonest reporting.

”The patient, who she said was a transgender prisoner”

Another complaint to the BBC from me I think. On the radio they did mention the bit about him being a paedophile prisoner, but reported that it was something she said rather than that it was a fact. I’ll try to find the clip.

Glad for Jennifer but furious that she had to go through this. This is the upside down, where a hard-working black female nurse is the villain if she calls a man Mr, while the aggressive, pronoun-wielding racist paedophile is seen as the poor helpless victim. Have people lost their minds? When are they going to have their “are we the baddies” moment?

I note the BBC hasn’t mentioned the fact it was a bloke abusing her, or that he was a convicted paedophile. He committed a hate crime yet he gets protected while the innocent nurse is treated like a bigot. Disgraceful.

I reckon over £1m of taxpayer money has been spent by NHS trusts to defend these indefensible claims

Good too hear, I happy for her, but what a travesty that it even became an issue, and that the NHS trust took it so far. 🤬

Fantastic news!

Delighted to hear this but what an ordeal.

I'm delighted for Jennifer but fucking fuming that they put her through all the shit first.

Tossers.

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.

Yes I know. I think FWR was one of the first to help publicise what was happening to her.

But neight SM nor MSM really reported it.

There was a petition and a go fund me for Jennifer as far as Im aware x

Finally someone had some common sense!!
Now please can that MAN be arrested and charged with racially aggravated assault?

I hadn't heard this so thanks for posting.

And it is such good news.

It seemed she was quite isolated and nto getting the support and publicity that others were.

But if their cases helped her that is just brilliant.

I hope she now has some time to just relax and be happy.

Although just not fair about her daughter.

Yep, in trans reddit Jennifer is an uncaring person, going out of her way to inpose her views on patients by misgendering. People like that shouldn't go into a caring profession. Talking to the press - so unprofessional. Are we even sure she (the patient) was a pedophile? Etc etc

I wish I were joking!

There are no depths they won't sink to

The NHS really has treated its employees appallingly hasn't it.

Nearly all females, nurses and working class. It really does highlight the absolute privilege of trans rights activism.

So pleased for Jennifer, but she should have never been put through this.

I kid you not, on transreddituk, someone painted him as a complete victim, who 'never did anything to hurt Jennifer', under a post where she was pictured next to Sandie Peggie and the Darlington nurses.

Excellent news! we cannot afford to lose experienced nurses like Jennifer, she should never have had to undergo such an appalling ordeal.

Oh thank god. What an appalling case.

Great news!

Difficult for the TRAs. If they side with him, they're siding with a paedophile racist. He's no Beth. Awkward.
