Amy Hamm - Canadian Nurse being disciplined for being GC

[IcakethereforeIam]

I've not seen a thread on Amy on MN and the search didn't show up anything. She seems to be being put through the wringer by tras and by her nursing college.

I thought if she saw this thread it might be cheering , she's on twitter. I found her thanks to Bette.

Brief rant

WHAT ABOUT US? WHAT ABOUT OUR SAFETY? WHAT ABOUT OUR DIGNITY? WHAT ABOUT OUR RIGHTS? THIS IS MADNESS.

Also it is horribly ironic that Canada was seen as a haven in Attwood's (who has completely lost the plot) The Handmaid's Tale.

The discussion is now the I ❤ JKR billboard. There was a discussion about nexus, where the reasoning was shaky, and now there's a discussion of its meaning and how it can be interpreted. The reasoning here is "well, JKR is a transphobe".

I wish JKR would get her solicitor to write a strongly worded letter to the panel so they would have to issue a retraction.

A transcript is being taken. I think JKR should get a copy and give it to her lawyers.

The panel are really scrutinising BF here

BF: "...don't see or don't recall specifically discriminatory transphobic statements, can I tell you tomorrow?"

The panel asks why an article has been put forward as being derogatory to trans people. bf says she can't find the answer now and would prefer to do that tomorrow. They ask about another article and bf says the same, but this time she's asked to answer now.

bf trying to delay her response to questions until tomorrow.

The proof being argued by bf is that AH says she's a fan of JKR who is GC.

This is a continuous stream of defamation of JKR by bf.

BF repeating herself here

JKR's lawyers will eat her for breakfast.

All of the AH tweets BF reads out are reasonable, though. Does she not realise that most listening would say yes actually, Amy is right. "If you are a feminine man..." She is doing our work for us. Bringing sunlight. She must be SO blinkered

Erasure is the most profound kind of discrimination.

Yes bf - it is as we adult human females know very well.

Omg bf is really going for it now. Submitting that every time AH advocates for women and girls she is erasing TW because she is only advocating for "cis" women and girls.

There's some reasonably decent questions being asked by the panel.

Trans people/ trans activists distinction. Very good

I see he wrote BARBARA FINDLEY in all caps. Literal violence! 🤣

"Erasure is the MOST profound loss of human dignity".

Yeah more profound than say rape or FGM or forced marriage, or being recorded naked in a changing room without your consent or being locked in a cell with a man and forced to toilet/shower etc in front of them, or being disabled/ill and forced to accept intimate care from a man in a dress......

Yep, being told that you aren't accepted as a woman universally, just because you say you are, is SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH MORE PROFOUND A LOSS OF HUMAN DIGNITY!!

FOR. FUCKS. SAKE.

Panel asked bf whether she distinguishes between trans activists and the ideology and trans persons.

bf would only go as far as if a trans activist is cis-gendered then what AH says doesn't matter so long as there is no push-back against the ideology.

Why can't she advocate for women and girls, though? Barbara Findley advocates for trans people. Is she basically saying it's transphobic to split - similar idea to No LGB without the T?

"could you repeat the question?"

Ha ha yes it should have been bARBARA fINDLAY

Really struggling with that one.
