An ambulance service is allowing transgender staff to use single-sex lavatories in defiance of last year’s Supreme Court ruling.
Staff at South East Coast Ambulance Service can use facilities that match their gender identity rather than their biological sex.
A 22-page policy, issued by the trust in September – five months after the April ruling – states that transgender employees “can use the facilities congruent to their gender identity”.
“My organisation claims to be inclusive, yet it is so quick to dismiss the rights of women,” she said. “I am proud of the work I do and provide dignified care to patients every single day, yet I am denied that same basic dignity in my own workplace. When I have attempted to raise concerns, I have been totally unsupported and it makes me feel unsafe.”
She said the Trust had a growing number of employees who identified as transgender or non-binary, and staff were expected to affirm their gender identities regardless of their own beliefs.
