Trans medic used female changing room for years, tribunal hears
An employment tribunal involving a transgender hospital worker, Rose Henderson, at Darlington Memorial Hospital has reignited controversy over gender identity and changing room policies. Eight female nurses are challenging the NHS Trust's decision to allow Rose, a biological male who identifies as a woman, to use the female-only changing room without reservation. The tribunal is examining claims of alleged conduct within the changing room and reactions from other nurses to Rose's presence, highlighting the ongoing debate on transgender rights and workplace accommodations. Despite the nurses' objections, Rose defended her right to use the female changing room, emphasizing the need for inclusivity and acceptance in the workplace.
