From my guilty verdict: "The panel understands that the statement that there are only two sexes — male and female — is an oversimplification that does not align with current medical or biological understanding."

The panel, in other words, understands nothing.

Amy Hamm in Canada's National Post:

I have lost my case with the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). A three-member panel found me guilty of “unprofessional conduct” for sharing my views on sex and gender ideology, in a manner that they have ruled as, at times, “discriminatory and derogatory” towards transgender identified persons.

The case, funded generously by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms since it began in late 2020, opened with an investigation sparked by public complaints about my involvement in advocating for women’s sex-based rights, and closed with more than 20 days of disciplinary hearings spread out over two years. I have never once had a patient complaint, and the entire case was based solely on my conduct outside of work. Nearly one year to the day after the hearing concluded, I received the guilty verdict on Thursday.

The complaints made against me included an “I love JK Rowling” billboard in Vancouver that I and a friend commissioned, as well as various posts I’ve made online.

My indomitable lawyer, Lisa Bildy, has given sage advice that, in my current situation — facing a “sentencing” hearing for my alleged misconduct, barring an appeal to the B.C. Supreme Court — I must temper my words to avoid harsher punishment.

I can’t do that. I have reached the summit of my tolerance for catering to the demands of gender activists and the institutional forces that they weaponize against women who speak the truth. I have had it.

My ruling was given by a three-person panel consisting of a former nurse, a current nurse, and one public representative, with the assistance of a constitutional lawyer. “(T)he Panel is not concerned with the validity of the Respondent’s beliefs,” they wrote in their ruling.

That is simply untrue — as evidenced by the very statements given in the same ruling.

From my guilty verdict: “The panel understands that the statement that there are only two sexes — male and female — is an oversimplification that does not align with current medical or biological understanding.”
