Darlington nurses

The Darlington nurses were told they needed to ‘broaden their mindset’ and be more ‘inclusive’, because they didn’t want to share a changing room with a biological male identifying as a woman

Courageous female nurses are speaking publicly following the launch of a landmark legal case against an NHS Trust after they were told they needed to ‘broaden their mindset’ and be more ‘inclusive’, after asking not to share a changing room with a biological male identifying as a woman.

Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, a group of nurses working at Darlington Memorial Hospital, which comes under the control of County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust, have filed legal action against the Trust for sexual harassment and sex discrimination.

The male operating department practitioner, who has been sharing a changing room with the female nurses, openly says that he does not take female hormones and is trying to get his girlfriend pregnant, but also that he ‘identifies’ as a woman and is called ‘Rose.’

After 26 nurses wrote to the Trust raising concerns, HR bosses said that they supported ‘Rose’ and that the nurses needed to get ‘educated’ and ‘compromise’. They said that the mere fact that ‘Rose’ says he identifies as a woman means that he can use the female changing rooms.
