NHS chiefs are facing landmark legal action after 26 female hospital nurses protested about being forced to share a women’s changing room with a transgender colleague who is biologically male. The Mail has more.
The women complained that the transgender nurse – who has not had gender reassignment surgery – had taken a “keen interest” in female staff when they were getting undressed.
They say they have found the situation “intimidating and upsetting”.
In a formal complaint, the nurses say they were stunned after the “sexually active” trans nurse admitted to trying for a baby with a female partner and had stopped taking female hormones.
But a human resources manager at the hospital trust allegedly said that the female nurses need to “be more inclusive”, “broaden their mindset” and “be educated and attend training”.
Six of the nurses are taking legal action at an employment tribunal against the NHS trust in the North East for alleged sexual harassment and sexual discrimination in what is thought to be the first case of its kind.
One of the nurses told the Mail on Sunday: “We don’t feel safe because we strip down to our underwear and [the individual] doesn’t just stay by his locker. He walks around the changing room in his boxer shorts.”
Another nurse said she was “close to tears” during one incident in the changing room.
She said: “I was rummaging in my bag trying to find my lanyard and keys for the locker when a man’s voice behind me said, ‘Are you not getting changed yet?’ I found my keys and opened my locker and I was asked again, ‘Are you not getting changed yet?’”
The woman, who was sexually abused as a child, has posttraumatic stress disorder and struggles to be alone around men. She said: “He stood there, two metres away from me, with a scrub top on and with tight black boxer shorts with holes in them and asked a third time whether I was getting changed yet.
“Flight or fight mode kicked in but I felt glued to my seat, I could not move. My hands started to sweat. I was petrified and felt sick and began hyperventilating.”

They painted and waved enough flags to push the gay/trans cause well now they are reaping what they’ve sown!
Enjoy all your hard work
It’s easy to tar them all with the same brush, especially after the absolute farce of the TikTok dances and the unforgivably disgusting way in which they pretty much all behaved during the scamdemic, but that aside, with the above example I’d be more concerned about new-starters. Not just the staff coming from other hospitals but the newly qualified nurses who obviously won’t have partaken in the unethical behaviour and nonsense over the last four years, be it Covid-related or Trans/woke garbage. Most Trusts get an intake twice yearly from newly qualified nurses and I don’t think it’s fair that they should be subject to this enabling of sex pests when they never actively supported it. I wouldn’t want my daughter starting in such a place if this was the set up. I’d have thought this rule would be totally off-putting to most female newbies. We’re taught to respect the dignity of patients ( yeah, I know that particular ship sailed a long time ago, but I’m old-school ) but I think that should also be a given for all staff. This guy sounds like a bona fide case of sexual harassment if ever I saw one and an ‘accident’ waiting to happen.
I know I’m being a little harsh, no biological male should be in any female facilities anywhere, it’s just sadly ironic that it’s happening in the trumpet blowing trans NHS!
I can’t possibly agree with this ridiculous assertion. How can you possibly seek to justify what is, essentially, a sexual assault, at minimum sex based mental abuse, with waving a flag? They waved the flags in support of equality, they did not wave them to be gawped at by a bloke with holes in his scraggy underwear.
Reading what the one girl said he is clearly a predator. How many women wave a flag for a predator to gawp at them? Wandering around a changing room is not normal behaviour in any sense of the word. Nor is blaming someone who has been abused for that abuse.
The upvotes are disappointing – most men can’t really imagine what it’s like to be a woman, especially one who has PTSD from sexual abuse. It must have been terrifying for this poor woman whatever rainbow flat waving she may or may not have done in the past.
To be honest I can’t believe how many have put a thumbs up on this. What all of those people are saying is that if a girl gets raped on a Saturday night it is her fault because she wasn’t covered up enough. “Your skirt was short, asking for it”. Shame on you all.
Sheer stupidity and pandering to the DEI mob by TPTB and our sainted NHS means that yet again the taxpayers are on the hook for thousands – at least. Obviously intentional but aren’t we bloody sick of it?
Could somebody please get a grip?
Well I think in the above situation we’re seeing a prime example of a male exploiting the ridiculous woketard rules to behave like a full-on predatory sex pest. I mean, what normal person repeatedly asks, ”Are you not getting changed yet?” As if he’s got a god-given right to see a co-worker of the opposite sex strip to her underwear! F**k that! Would he say that to men in the men’s changing room and expect no consequences? Doubt it. Talk about a ‘red flag’. Fecking pervert, and the Trust are enabling this sort of sleazy slimeball to carry on getting his kicks and stuff the females if they’re quite naturally feeling intimidated and uncomfortable. And he’s got a female partner!! LOL So I guess he’s one of them perverts that identifies as a lesbian then?!
Great reply Mog. Hits every nail.
Thanks Rich. The whole thing is beyond absurd. Sadly, taking this above situation into consideration ( and I’ve seen in passing stories of women claiming to have been raped/sexually assaulted by doctors whose care they were under, but it was covered up by the hospital. No source to cite at present ) the NHS as an organisation is showing more and more parallels with the other corrupt, unethical, sex-abuser enabling British company: the BBC. The similarities just keep stacking up.
That’s what cowardice does. You let go of your last sacred truths and you are left with the tyranny of corrupted reason against your own vacuity of response. Because at the level of your will you were willing to debade yourself by taking the line of least resistance out of pure laziness. This agenda won’t last long and it will come back to bite those whose self-serving cowardice enabled it.
The NHS is sicker than the poor patients suffering under its appalling care.
Doctor:
“I diagnose you with Chickus Dickus – chick-with-a-dick.”
Patient:
“No Doctor, Kier Stammer says I am a woman.
And I have a cervix in this jar to prove it.”
“Chickus Dickus”?!
You are funny!
“Biological Male”’is tautological.
Unless you admit that there are nonbiological males, the addition of the word biological is not required.
The headline should be rewritten to say that women were asked to share a changing room with a man.
Language matters. Biological male is a phrase made up by the enemy.
Thanks for the reminder tof.
Very good point.
They took complete control of financial freedom and therefore in order to keep up the pretence of pluraility they have to allow an absurd extreme of personal freedom. Of course self-identification is itself a contradiction in terms but that doesn’t matter. You find that the nastiest multinational corporations are all gung-ho for this agenda. The higher you go the more quickly money is transferred. The idea is to keep the charade going on for as long as possible. Long enough so that they will have extracted every last drop of vitality. There is no shamefacedness about the parasitic nature of their existence, They see this as a triumph.
I have no doubt these nurses will receive a lot of support, which they totally deserve. I cannot be sure they will win their legal case though. We can only hope.
Previous employment tribunals have established that gender critical beliefs are a protected characteristic.
On that precedent I’d say they’ve got a good chance
Perhaps the phrase “gender critical beliefs” was the one used but I find it unfortunate. It’s vague, refers to something called “gender” and uses the word “critical” which I believe is designed to have negative connotations and imply that believing in “gender” is normal and that not believing in it is not.
Sex is determined at conception. Gender is either the same thing as sex, in which case it is superfluous, or it’s a completely meaningless word because it cannot be defined. If someone maintains gender and sex are different, ask them to explain in what ways, how many genders there are and how each one is defined.
The rainbow was not meant to be a symbol thrown around so cheaply in fact it should still be held in awe because it is a symbol of what happened before and how mankind was able to rise up again afterwards despite all of civilisation being destroyed. Never again by water It is a big deal to attempt to rob this symbol of its power. Especially now given that this is 12800 years later and precisely halfway through the precession of the equinoxes. That time needs to speak to ours as clearly as possible without intrusion or interference.
‘…human resources manager at the hospital trust allegedly said that the female nurses need to “be more inclusive”…
I don’t suppose for one minute the HR staff are expected to strip off and get changed – whilst being viewed by a member of the opposite sex?
HR Staff probably WFH!
There is no point complaining about the shoddy behavious of your peers. We all recognise these trends this adoption of a life of ease. You get way with it for a while and then it is payback time. As long as you pick up on it at some point and your constitution hasn’t been weakened by living within such conditions. If it has then you need to undertake certain exercises. Gurdjieff talked about strengthening the will – he said imagine walking back from town for twnty miles to your home in dreadful weather conditions. The effort of will is to arrive home and then immediately depart and walk another five miles just to strengthen the will before returning home. If life has been easy then you will receive a shock and then it is up to you how you respond and it is up to your body whether you survive or not.
If you are a student of recent history or philosophy and you believe that you can unerstand recent trends without reference to the machinatons of the mystery schools then you are blind to virtually everything. A struggle has been going on since 1850 in terms of the movement of the seat of spiritual power towards Russia. You can see the first world war in this context. Our intellectual discourse was robbed of so much between the wars. Schools of the spirit and the will were wiped out first by the Nazis who saw them as rivals and then after the war by the Anglo-Americans who uerstood their power and wanted to keep quiet about them. That while life that we lived from 1945 was in a sense an entire fraud.
Agreed they should sue. BUT as a tax payer I’m not sure I should cough up the damages when the nurses, rightly, win. The HR function or those who “manage” this issue should be included in the case to ensure that their assets are seized first (I accept they may be small to non existent but it’s essential they have “skin in the game” if they insist on this woke process).
Plato wasn’t wrong when he talked about courage as a cardinal virtue. It is obvious and self-evident – tou can have every gift in the world but if you don’t have the balls to show it then you are worse than useless.
The problem is that these imposters do have the balls, and don’t mind showing ‘it’.
You behaved like spoilt children or fattened animals and now you are feeling the results of your decadence.It is going to get much worse for you. Consider the situation and your ability to respond to it. I look at you and frankly I don’t see a happy outcome even though I wish I did.
Don’t start leaning on people when things get bad. You never let anyone lean on you. You thought that individualism would be enough. Lets see how your individualism serves you when you are against the ropes.
Impressive commitment to the trans ideology by this mixed up man (not).
Just goes to show that in many cases it is probably a passing fancy by people who simply want to say “Look at me”.
Just like the man I saw yesterday checking in at a hotel. He was with his wife and as they walked up to the hotel, there was no doubt in my mind that it was a conventional elderly married couple viewed through the window. They then walked into the lobby and the husband was wearing an ankle length, very brightly coloured wrap-around skirt. Definitely wanting to shout out to everyone, “hey, look at me”. Definitely trans but -vestite or -sexual is anyone’s guess
You see? This is the problem with being ‘kind’ and inclusive: today you’re encouraged to refer to the bloke in a frock as ‘she’ – for the sake of politeness – and what harm can it do? Tomorrow, when he wants to step into the shower with your grand daughter, how can you then object? You’ve already accepted the fiction that he’s really a woman. We live in a unique age where our institutions and organisations have become breathtakingly stupid.
Let’s hope they win & sue the clowns in charge !!
I just listened to some silly Liberal Democrat woman on GB news with Michael Portillo and Naka Akua. This woman could spout verbal diarrhoea from the start of the program to the end. Thank god GB news has adverts and the presenters had to but in and bring the drivel she spoke to an end. It is all fair enough to talk about “vulnerable people” in our society —-trans people. But when one of those people is in our daughters toilet or changing room it is the daughters that are the vulnerable ones. What the solution is I have no idea. But men in a womans toilet cannot happen.
Perverts are gonna perv ….
especially when the brain-dead, virtue-signalling political class (many of whom appear to be perverts themselves) makes it so easy for them.
In regard to the wandering around the changing room part; how many here have witnessed that in any changing room they were ever in? From changing rooms at school to changing rooms at swimming baths I have never seen anyone do it. If my wife had, she would have told me. In fact, she often used to stand around naked talking to a couple of friends when they went swimming and the gym. They didn’t gawp, they talked women crap.
This guy is the archetype example of why the UniParties need to be removed from power. One day a woman you know, a daughter of a friend, a female in your town, is going to be sexually abused. The abuser will be put in a womens prison.
Be very, very careful who you vote for this time. Trust me, you do not want to deal with the end result your vote will bring if you get it wrong.
Sadly their employer jumped on the stupid pride/lgbtq+ bandwagon, and almost forced the nursing and medical staff to join in by compulsory ‘training’ events etc…the reality, as almost every woman knows, is that we are being discriminated against by the vicious Trans lobby. What we feared is unfortunately becoming a reality for many women and girls who are told to be inclusive and modify their own reaction or be disciplined and suffer the consequences. I’m so sick of it all.
