Did you know that it's "derogatory" to say men aren't women and don't belong in female spaces?
A British Columbia nurse has been suspended and fined nearly $94,000 for making ‘discriminatory and derogatory statements' about transgender people.
The B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives says a disciplinary panel has issued a decision against Amy Hamm, suspending her for one month, while also ordering her to pay the college costs and disbursements within two years.
Ninety-Four Thousand Dollars.
The British College of Nurses and Midwives (a profession that exclusively serves women) has spent years prosecuting Hamm for her belief that women should be protected against crossdressing men.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms says in a release that Hamm was penalized for ‘her statements defending the right of women to access female-only spaces.'
The release says Hamm had worked in health care for more than 13 years and had been promoted to be a nurse educator.
Lisa Bildy, Hamm's lawyer, says in a statement that they believe the panel made ‘legal and factual errors' in reaching its decision, which penalizes the nurse for expressing ‘mainstream views aligned with science and common sense.
Hamm says in the statement that her comments are not hateful.
‘I'm appealing because biological reality matters, and so does freedom of expression,' she says.
Hamm's worst "crime"?
Being a part of a billboard campaign in 2020 that said "I ❤️ J.K. Rowling," the feminist author of the Harry Potter books.
She's also criticized woke authorities who keep installing gender-neutral bathrooms in public spaces.
Since the ruling, Hamm's story has gone viral. Tara Armstrong, a politician in the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, took to social media to signal her support.
Rowling also publicly responded:
Hamm herself remains defiant in her belief that women should be protected from mentally-ill and/or predatory men, and has strong thoughts for those who would destroy her life for believing so.
Hamm's case will be heard on appeal. She has set up a donation fund for herself here.
Will basic sanity win the day?
