This is a follow up to a post I made several months ago about a nurse in Canada.
Canadian Nurse Amy Hamm is being investigated and charged with professional misconduct for disagreeing with Gender Ideology. Here is my earlier post.
The latest development is that the charge against Nurse Hamm about making statements that included “medically inaccurate information” have been dropped.
The original charge said that Hamm:
“…made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people, some of which statements included medically inaccurate information, while identifying yourself as a nurse or nurse educator. These statements were made across various online platforms, including but not limited to, podcasts, videos, published writings and social media.”
Professionally, I suppose, that could have been a problem. Though everybody knows medical professionals sometimes make inaccurate statements. They are only human, after all.
But the new charge now reads:
“Between approximately July 2018 and March 2021, you made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people, while identifying yourself as a nurse or nurse educator. These statements were made across various online platforms, including but not limited to, podcasts, videos, published writings and social media.”
Of course that is a step in the right direction.
However. Nurse Hamm’s free speech right to make, as a medical professional, the completely rational and scientific statement that it is impossible to change your sex is still, unfortunately, facing discipline.
Regulatory bodies are increasingly policing the speech of professionals (see this post)
to “cancel” medical and educational professionals with whom they disagree. But as more and more decide to bravely face this cancel culture of intimidation, I hope the current trajectory of this debate will change. One can only hope.
