🚨BREAKING: Darlington nurse, Bethany Hutchison and nurse Jennifer Melle are set to give evidence in support of Sandie Peggie's case against the Royal College of Nursing.
The case begins in Dundee tomorrow.
Sandie, an RCN member for around 30 years, alleges that the world’s largest nursing union discriminated against her because of her gender-critical beliefs by failing to provide adequate advice, support or legal representation after NHS Fife suspended her for objecting to a transgender doctor using a female changing room.
Bethany and Jennifer will give evidence about their own experiences of seeking support from the RCN.
Sandie said: “I never wanted to be in a position where I was suing my own trade union. Whilst this is regrettable, it is a legal battle which is necessary in order to highlight the extent to which gender ideology has taken hold of the RCN and has been used to silence and malign members standing up for women’s hard fought sex based rights.”
Andrea Williams, chief executive of the Christian Legal Centre, which has supported the Darlington and Melle cases, said: “The evidence of Bethany Hutchison and Jennifer Melle will show why Sandie Peggie’s case matters to nurses across the country.
“These are dedicated and compassionate nurses who expected their professional body to defend them without fear or favour. Their experiences raise serious questions about whether the RCN has placed adherence to gender identity ideology above its duty to represent members who hold entirely lawful and protected beliefs.”
