Transgender woman issued apology from hospital after nurse thought she was a man
A TRANSGENDER woman mistaken for a man when she visited a hospital ward dressed in an Ann Summers Mrs Claus outfit has won an apology from NHS bosses.
She claims a nurse said 'Happy Christmas, sir' and 'Er... it's a man' after she had wished staff a Merry Christmas on December 24 last year.After Chantelle complained the hospital responded with a letter telling her the nurse thought she was male because "you had a full beard and were dressed in male attire."
Chantelle said: "I was very, very upset. I'm a transgender woman - transitioning from male to female.I am always dressed as a woman. I had full make-up. I had my hair on. I am on female hormones and do not have a beard."She was in having an operation and there was a nurse in the cubicle. I said 'Happy Christmas' and the nurse replied 'Er...it's a man'.
"I am very surprised that this is how I have been treated. They are usually very good and treat me properly. But this is just ridiculous."
