Episode 133: The Darlington Nurses Victory and Jennifer Melle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Last week eight Darlington nurses won their employment tribunal against their NHS Trust over a male colleague being allowed to use the women's changing room at work. The court found this constituted harassment on the basis of sex and created a hostile, humiliating, intimidating, and degrading environment for women. That victory has had a ripple effect, as seen in the reinstatement of South London nurse Jennifer Melle only days later. Jennifer is still due to take her employer to court in April over their action against her.
We discuss both cases, including why the PMC are struggling to let go of transgenderism and are willing to break the law for it, and how the Sandie Peggy trial became a debate about whether she was lower working-class and therefore an unsympathetic figure, as if that means the law no longer applies. Plus, the Left’s cope and denial about legal victories against transgenderism, the vital organisation that is Sex Matters, how the Left today cares more about social and cultural issues than economics as evidenced by the fact they won’t give up transgenderism despite its failure, and we ask if it was the sexual revolution that made the Left so committed to expanding men's sexual rights?
