Nurse Suspended After Refusing to Use Preferred Pronouns for Transgender Sex Offender

 

A Christian NHS nurse has been suspended from her duties after refusing to refer to a transgender convicted paedophile as a woman, citing her faith. Jennifer Melle, 40, was removed from her post at St Helier Hospital in Carshalton, London, following an internal investigation. The decision comes after earlier disciplinary action against her for refusing to use female pronouns for a patient who was born male but identifies as a woman.

 

Ms Melle said she was left in tears after a five-minute meeting with hospital management that resulted in her being escorted out of the building. “I am devastated to have been suspended simply for whistleblowing,” she said. “As a dedicated Christian nurse, I am experiencing relentless institutional abuse, harassment, bullying, and racial discrimination. Ever since I expressed my Christian beliefs under extreme pressure, I have been a marked woman. Despite being the one placed at risk, I am the one being punished. I have been made to feel like a criminal.”

 

 

The incident that sparked the disciplinary measures occurred last year when a patient known only as Patient X was transferred from a men’s prison to Ms Melle’s ward for urinary treatment. During her shift, Ms Melle was informed that the patient intended to self-discharge, prompting a call to a doctor for guidance. While speaking with the doctor outside the patient’s room, Ms Melle referred to the patient using male pronouns and titles, explaining that she was describing a medical situation involving the removal of a catheter from a male body.

 

“This was a real-life medical scenario that required accurate terminology to avoid any doubt between medical professionals,” she said.

The patient, however, overheard the conversation and became upset at the use of male pronouns. Ms Melle told the patient, “Sorry I cannot refer to you as ‘her’ or ‘she’, as it’s against my faith and Christian values, but I can call you by your name.”

 

According to Ms Melle, the patient responded with racial abuse, saying: “Imagine if I called you n-----? How about I call you n-----? Yes, black n-----.” She also claimed the patient tried to lunge at her while restrained and threatened to file a complaint.

 

Despite the verbal abuse she endured, it was Ms Melle who faced formal disciplinary action. In October, she received a final warning and was referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). She has now filed a legal complaint, supported by the Christian Legal Centre, against the Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals Trust for harassment, discrimination, and human rights violations.

 

It is understood that Ms Melle will remain on full pay during her suspension. Her case has sparked wider public debate, with Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative minister for women and equalities, describing her treatment as “completely crazy”. Badenoch added, “She has my full support. It’s time the Government pulls its finger out and intervenes to make it clear no one should be punished at work for stating biological reality to paedophiles.”

 

A spokesperson for the NHS trust said: “We expect all members of staff to follow professional standards such as the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s code of conduct – this includes maintaining confidentiality for any patients in their care at all times. There is no excuse for racially abusing our staff, and we’re sorry that Ms Melle had this experience, and we’re investigating her complaints. As proceedings are still ongoing, it wouldn’t be right for us to comment further.”

 

According to NMC guidelines, “As a nurse, midwife or nursing associate, you owe a duty of confidentiality to all those who are receiving care. This includes making sure that they are informed about their care and that information about them is shared appropriately.”

Badenoch is absolutely correct to say this, what on Earth has the NHS come to????

Surely the NHS out of anyone should understand basic biology??

apparently not. It's the woke idiots who ought to be sacked.

[faraday]

Was she expected to refer to the patients anatomy as "her penis"?

 

It's all ridiculous 🙄 

[KannikaP]

What has the fact that she believes in a Jewish fella, executed about 2000 years ago, got to do with her not wanting to call a man by SHE?

In the case of the transgender paedo, IT would be more appropriate.

The only thing to fight wokeness.

We'll wait for the court's decision.

Will be interesting.

Because religious persons are more likely to refuse to accept the gender insanity than the woke who are IMO likely to be atheists.

By 'religious persons', do you only mean Christians, or do you think Muslims would accept a bloke going around as a woman?

I am an Atheist, but far far from being Woke.

This will be a court case. The judges will give the answer.

So does the UK law say that she MUST call the trans-paedo by the pronoun SHE?

In that situation she is in the wrong for discussing the criminal within his hearing, also she could have referred to the body parts without the use of pronouns.

 

Far as the bullying goes, the NHS and nursing was rife with bullying when I was in the NHS. Invariably by management and senior nurses. It's one reason why sane people will not consider nursing as a career any more.

I actually left nursing early because of the management bullies.

 

Not just management- patients and relatives are also to blame, and in that case, don't expect any support from the NHS.

Welcome to nursing, where you will spend a great deal to become a registered nurse in a university, be exploited and get a pittance when you do get a job, and get bullied by management and relatives for being stupid enough to want to help sick people.

 

Do I ever regret leaving nursing, not for a second. Would I recommend nursing to a school leaver- not in a million years.

If the public won't support nurses to be paid what they are worth, they get what they deserve.

Does the Court not decide on any laws which have been broken and sentence accordingly.?

If she has not broken any law, why the court?

Who is thaking her to court anyway?

Last time I looked "religious" refers to people of any faith eg Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Jains and of course Christians, plus many more versions of belief in a higher power.

 

Read it again. "than the woke who are IMO likely to be atheist" does not say that all atheists are woke.

The anti woke brigade now embracing a Christian, black, immigrant woman?

 

It has gone full circle.

Only someone that has actually worked for the NHS could know how bad the management is. It's far worse than you can imagine.

She is going the way via court. It's about being dismissed claiming she didn't violate hospital's Rules.

So I hope we'll be informed about the outcome.

In addition it would be interesting what happens to the discrimination being called as '"<deleted>"?.

Obviously, she is just one more nurse who paid attention and obtained good grades in her anatomy and physiology classes at university.

I am an Anglophile. It reduces me to tears to see this.

 

The Country that ruled the world, that gave us in the English speaking world our traditions, law and civic virtue, is now degraded into a welfare shop for immigrants and theater for woke fantasy.

 

To paraphrase Kipling (racist, imperialist, white man)

 

So 'ere's ~to~ you, wokester, at your 'ome in the Eton Quad,
   You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class political' man;
   An' 'ere's ~to~ you, wokester, with your 'ayrick 'ead of purple 'air —
   You purveyors of fantasy —  you broke the British square!
