NHS Fife is facing landmark legal action by a nurse suspended after complaining about a transwoman in a female changing room.
A health board facing landmark legal action by a nurse suspended after complaining about a transwoman in a female changing room is fighting to have proceedings held in secret.
She was suspended and accused of bullying by the trans colleague who is biologically male but who identifies as a woman. “But on Christmas Eve during her shift she was forced to have to change her clothes after they became soiled and went to the changing room. She found herself alone with the same co-worker present and told him she was very uncomfortable.
The bill allowed anyone to obtain a gender recognition certificate by signing a declaration, making it easier for people to change gender. Solicitor Margaret Gribbon of Bridge Employment Solicitors in Glasgow, who represents the nurse, said: “My client’s case involves legal challenges under the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998 to Fife Health Board’s policies contending that they fail to provide suitable single sex changing facilities and toilets to staff.
