He said that he expected staff that he works with to ignore their training around consent and fetch him to a woman who clearly said she only wanted same sex care provision.
He said that he would ignore his training around consent when a woman clearly said she only wanted same sex care provision.
He was in a hospital with senior staff who wanted SP handcuffed by police held in a jail cell and facing charges for objecting to a male staff member deciding he had a right to use the female changing rooms.
Put that into context for the women who would be seeking medical help in that hospital.
Do you think he is too stupid to have not tried to work out his chance of "sucess" before he decided to make a report to his manager?
Then the staff attempted to cover up the fact that there was a disciplinary process.
And the staff involved (who should have known better) removed SPs right to a fair hearing and had reached a conclusion as to the outcome before even attempting to speak with SP.
Upton was more than happy to go along with the process he contacted his Union to try build a "better" case.
Prior to the incident Upton was keeping a list and track of when women refused to be in the womens changing room with him.
He made up a story about SPs professional conduct. If that report had been accepted as factual SPs employment could have been terminated or other sanction applied.
As a result of Uptons report SPs professional registration could have been impaired or removed. That would remove her current ability to earn a living and her pension rights into old age.
SP had a contractual obligation to use the changing room but no contractual obligation to provide Upton with companionship or participate in peepshow.
He has full access to the male changing room.
He decided to not use a male changing room.
Do you think the males who were happy to have a female member of staff hauled off to jail were going to object to him in the male changing room?
He choose to not finding a third place to change.
He choose to not respect the women (mainly nurses) who used that womens changing room.
Do you think if he had choosen to be the one "woman" (man who thinks he is a "woman") in with the men in a "mixed sex" changing room that is would have made a material different to him?
Why do you think he choose to force women into a mixed sex changing room situation?
Do you think that the staff who "rallied" round him did not tell him some of the women did not want him in the womens changing room?
Do you actually think that a trained medical doctor (under professional medical supervision) while being let loose in the general public attending the ED is unable to work out his own sex?
What single term would you use to sum up the actions of one of the other male doctors if he has no trans ID and is demanded a female nurse change her clothing in front of him when she objected ?
He is a > < ?
If Upton had managed to force SP into accepting that she had no right to a WSSS when changing and/or managed to have her nursing reg removed as a result of his story what do you think would happene the next time a woman believed she should object to an act where she believed his sex was relevent?
Exactly how confident could the next woman be if she needed to whistleblow into that NHS Trust?
Actually how confident can any current staff member be if they need to whistleblow into that Trust?
Do you think the Information Commissioner comming out out with damning the statement below is not a reflection on an underlying culture in the Trusts that staff are answerable to no Authority?

“The petulant tone of NHS Fife’s latest statement is quite remarkable but it is the contents that concern me most. They have now cast doubt upon the assurances they gave me regarding compliance with my Decision Notice. I will investigate further and if the Authority has not indeed fully complied with my Decision then I may report the matter to the Court of Session as a contempt of court.”
Would you risk your whole future life by reporting any offending acts against your person to that management team?
Or would you cut your losses and find a new job?
Would you risk your whole future life and your personal freedom to protect a stranger?
