A group of nurses from Darlington in Great Britain won a court case against the National Health Service (NHS) after they were required to share a women's changing room with a transgender person – a biological male identifying as a woman. This was reported by Christian Legal Centre.
Employment Judge Sweeney and tribunal members Denise Newey and Malcolm Brain ruled that the policy enforced by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust had failed to take the nurses' concerns seriously and amounted to unlawful harassment and discrimination.
The tribunal concluded that the policy violated the dignity of the nurses and created "a hostile, humiliating and degrading environment".
The Christian Legal Centre (CLC), which supported the Darlington nurses in their case, called Friday's judgment from the employment tribunal "a major victory for women’s rights and workplace safety."
As the UOJ reported, the Church of England did not allow "re-baptism" of transgenders.
