Quote:Bethany Hutchison, one of the claimants, says they have felt unsafe as a result of a male staff member who identifies as a woman and has not transitioned.
She said: "There's been occasions where I've been in the changing room alone with this colleague who looks very masculine and that was a real shock because you feel you want to challenge them, you think, 'Oh there's a man in the changing room' but you can't because of the trust's policy."
One of the nurses who has objected to the hospital's policy is a woman who was the victim of sexual abuse and says the presence of this trans colleague in an enclosed space triggers her PTSD.
Another of the women, Lisa Lockey, told Sky News: "We're just ordinary nurses. Is it too much to ask for a private changing room where you feel comfortable?"
Lisa says their ward manager was called into a meeting with HR and senior hospital bosses and told that the nurses needed to be "re-educated".
So wrong this, and I do fear it'll get worse under labour as they attract the cranks.
