A senior Christian nurse faces losing her career after she was investigated and disciplined by an NHS Trust for refusing to refer to a male child sex offender patient as a woman.
The convicted paedophile, ‘Mr X’, is in a high security male prison after multiple convictions for luring boys into sex acts while pretending to be a teenage girl on social media.
After refusing to refer to Mr X as a ‘she’ while on duty, Jennifer Melle, 40, from Croydon, was racially abused and physically threatened.
Instead of supporting Jennifer, however, Epsom and St Helier University Hospital Trust has abandoned and treated her like the criminal.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) has also said Jennifer is ‘a potential risk’ for not using Mr X’s preferred ‘gender identity.’
The story is the latest in a series of cases where NHS policy supports trans ideology over biological reality. It also follows the publication of the Sullivan report this week which revealed that the police are allowing criminals to ‘self-identify’ their gender on official records.
In this case, policy has led, in the name of inclusivity, to the NHS siding with a paedophile convicted of serious offences, while pretending to be the opposite sex, over members of staff with Christian and gender-critical beliefs.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the case Miss Melle has now launched against the Trust on the grounds of harassment, discrimination and human rights’ breaches, is believed to be unprecedented.
In response to her claims, NHS lawyers have said that Christian beliefs Miss Melle holds, that we are born male and female, are ‘not worthy of respect in a democratic society.’
