British Nurse Melle subjected to disciplinary action for misgendering:
Her crime: refusing to address a male as a female!
March 28-
Jennifer Melle is a Christian nurse who referred to a male, trans-identifying patient as ‘Mister’. Even though she was subjected to racial abuse, she faces disciplinary action for telling the truth.
While working a shift in May 2024, Jennifer was called to assist with a volatile patient, a prisoner who wanted to self-discharge.
His medical records listed him as male – not female or transgender. The name board simply gave a feminine name. He appeared masculine, standing over six feet tall and of large build.
After Jennifer referred to him as ‘Mr’, he screamed, “Do not call me Mr! I am a woman!”
Jennifer replied that she couldn’t refer to him as ‘her’ or ‘she’ as it was against her Christian faith, but instead offered to call him by his name.
“How about I call you n*****?” the man yelled, “Yes, black n*****!”
Rather than giving her support and protecting her, the NHS Trust where she worked punished her.
She was pulled aside and told she had to respect equality and diversity. Then, she was pressured to supply management with a statement and warned that if she didn’t attend a mandatory meeting with HR, she would be sent home while the investigation was happening.
She also now faces disciplinary action for supposedly ‘breaking the Code of Conduct’ by not using female terms for him. She has also been referred to the Nursing and Midwifery Council.
With the support of the Christian Legal Centre, Jennifer is fighting for justice and standing for the freedom to speak truth.
Male sex offender: ‘I am a woman!’
On the night of May 22, 2024, Jennifer began her shift at the hospital, where a Pride Progress Flag—symbolising support for transgender rights and gender identity affirmation—flew from the rooftop.
Miss Melle, who came to the UK from Uganda as a child, and has worked her way up to become a senior nurse, had been told along with her colleagues that Mr X had been brought in for treatment from a Category C men’s prison and was a sex offender.
He entered the hospital chained to two guards and was clearly masculine in appearance, standing over six feet tall and of large build.
At 10pm, a junior colleague approached Miss Melle in a distressed state saying that Mr X wanted to self-discharge. He was shouting and upsetting other elderly and vulnerable patients on the ward.
The doctor had been called for guidance on the discharge but had not yet responded. As the senior nurse on the ward, Jennifer followed her colleague to take charge of the situation and to provide support.
Looking at the patient’s medical records, she saw that the patient was recorded as male, not female or transgender. On the name board next to the bed, it simply gave the feminine name.
With her colleague finally getting through to the doctor on the phone, Jennifer requested to speak to him. She said to the doctor that: ‘Mr X would like to self-discharge.’
Overhearing the call, enraged Mr X screamed: “Do not call me Mr! I am a woman!”
Still on the phone to the doctor, Jennifer called back to Mr X that she was speaking to the doctor and was working out what medication could be given before he was discharged.
Finishing the call, she approached the patient’s room.
