This is such terrible reporting.

NHS Fife nurse allowed to call trans doctor a man during employment tribunal

Trans doctor? So this is someone with no medical training who idennifies as a doctor?

Subhead: Kirkcaldy nurse Sandie Peggie was suspended by the health board when she complained about sharing a changing room with Dr Beth Upton.

Let me guess – this “trans doctor” is a man pretending to be a woman and his name hasn’t always been “Beth” – am I right?

Note to journalists: it’s malpractice to tell all these lies. Stop doing it.

A nurse suing NHS Fife will be allowed to refer to the transgender doctor at the centre of the row as a man during an upcoming employment tribunal.

Still refusing to be clear – still refusing to say this is a male doctor pretending to be a woman. Clarity is the job.

Sandie Peggie is taking legal action after she was suspended for complaining about sharing a changing room with Dr Beth Upton, who identifies as a woman.

Still not clear. People not familiar with this long con will be puzzled by a Beth who “identifies as” a woman.

Dr Upton’s legal team claim this is disrespectful and warn the medic is deeply hurt at being misgendered.

Liar. He’s not “deeply hurt” at all. He’s not shallowly hurt, either. He’s having fun, making trouble for an actual woman.

Judge Kemp says it would be difficult for Ms Peggie to give evidence during the tribunal if she has to use terminology she sees as “inaccurate”.

But he warns the tribunal, being held in Edinburgh, will not hesitate to intervene if male pronouns are “used gratuitously and offensively on a repeated basis with no good reason to do so”.

So the fact that he is a man is not a good enough reason to refer to him as a man?

I wonder if we’ll ever be allowed to stop playing this stupid game.
