Jennifer Melle, a senior nurse, is fighting disciplinary action after she refused to refer to a child sex offender with female pronouns. The offender, known as 'Mr. X', is a convicted paedophile currently in a male prison. Melle claims her Christian beliefs about gender led to her being threatened and racially abused. Instead of support, she received a final warning and was referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council for failing to respect the patient's preferred identity, raising concerns about the implications for healthcare professionals' rights and beliefs.
âIâm being disciplined for my beliefs about sex, and itâs a terrifying situation because I am standing up for the truth.â
âIt seems absurd that the NHS would place such emphasis on a criminalâs self-identification over the fundamental rights of women and healthcare professionals.â
