The nurses have filed claims on the grounds of sexual harassment, discrimination, victimisation and breaches of the right to a private life, under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

So they must be filling the claim against themselves, right? Because that's literally describing their own behaviour? They even explained in detail how they're harassing someone who they admit hasn't actually done anything?

Swap the word trans for any other vulnerable group and it's obvious this is just straight bigotry. Imagine reading this headline about someone who was gay or someone who was black.

I mean, isn't the UK literally trying to introduce segregation of trans folks? I read somewhere that trans folks won't be able to use the toilets of their sex assigned at birth either. They solved the burly trans men in the women's bathroom "problem" 🙄
