Nurses take legal action over 'horrifying' trans changing room issue

Eight female nurses who had to share a hospital changing room with a pre-operative trans-identified biologically male nurse are taking legal action against the NHS Trust.

The nurses are part of a group of 26 nurses who wrote to County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust with their complaints in March. They originally raised concerns last summer but the nurses said they were told by HR to ‘broaden their mindset’ and be more ‘inclusive’.

They have now launched proceedings claiming sexual harassment and sex discrimination. Some of the nurses report having panic attacks before working on wards after having to get undressed in front of the nurse – who is a sexually active biological male.
