Feminism: Sex and gender discussions
Chariothorses · 20/01/2026 18:39

This is a win for Jennifer, thankfully- but what a lot of stress -and money wasted for NHS too. And none of the NHS managers will face sanctions. They never do.

We need NHS staff to be able to correctly sex patients- so that they can ensure vulnerable people (including men who lie they are women) get the right surgery (as this nurse allegedly was trying to arrange on the phone when the male patient started verbally abusing her).

NHS staff also need to know their own sex so they respect patients and don;'t assault female patients (unlike a certain Dr in Scotland who said in a recent female nurse tribunal he is a biological female and would treat unconsenting female patients who requested female only care, as far as memory recalls...)

Jennifer Melle charges dismissed!!!
CarefulN0w · 20/01/2026 18:51

Oh thank goodness for that.

What she has had to go through to get to this point though is absolutely criminal.

Helleofabore · 20/01/2026 18:52

Thank goodness.

However, I look forward to her ET for their treatment of her.

solerolover · 20/01/2026 18:57

I'm so thrilled for Jennifer. The process is the punishment though, and it should never have got to this stage, almost two years later. I'm hoping that her upcoming employment tribunal claim will be successful too.

FranticFrankie · 20/01/2026 18:58

Two years of horrible unnecessary stress though
She looks thrilled- good on you Jennifer 👏

Daleksatemyshed · 20/01/2026 19:02

Well done Jennifer, hopefully this will start to nip this nonsense in the bud

JazzyBBBG · 20/01/2026 19:02

Brilliant news that poor woman should have have gone through this.

solerolover · 20/01/2026 19:04

They talked about her daughter losing her job as a result of everything, I had no idea!

AreYouSureAskedNaomi · 20/01/2026 19:06

While it's important to defend our right to hold gender critical beliefs, to me this case is significant because of something else - the need (the right) to correctly sex a patient.

In some cases a patient's sex is irrelevant. In other cases it's crucial. The priority of staff is to care for patients and HC workers shouldn't fear repercussions of correctly sexing patients when it matters.

Jennifer was doing her job. If my memory serves me, the patient was in hospital because of a urine infection. The infection must have been serious for a dangerous prisoner to have to be taken to hospital. My understanding is that Jennifer was on the phone to a doctor, explaining the situation, and describing the patient as "he". In this case it was essential for the patient's care that all staff be clear about his sex. This is part of what makes this case egregious.

In a normal world Jennifer's union would have been all over this case like a rash - not only because of the above but because she was racially abused, all while dealing with a violent pedophile FGS

I'm wreathed in smiles. Appalling she was put through this.

Greyskybluesky · 20/01/2026 19:12

Great news!

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

TheKeatingFive · 20/01/2026 19:13

Oh thank god. What an appalling case.

carbuncleonapigsposterior · 20/01/2026 19:15

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

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.

PronounssheRa · 20/01/2026 19:21

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.

There are no depths they won't sink to

AreYouSureAskedNaomi · 20/01/2026 19:24

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!

IwantToRetire · 20/01/2026 19:26

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.

Flowers

Although just not fair about her daughter.

Sad
Dollymylove · 20/01/2026 19:39

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

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.

LeftieRightsHoarder · 20/01/2026 19:49

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.

Boiledbeetle · 20/01/2026 19:54

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

Tossers.

ShallWeDance · 20/01/2026 19:59

Delighted to hear this but what an ordeal.
