A Christian nurse who works for the United Kingdom’s National Health Service faced serious repercussions after she was accused of “misgendering” a patient.
But now, she has not only been cleared to return to work — she has also won a settlement against the government health agency.
Jennifer Melle was working an evening shift at St. Helier and Epsom University Hospitals in May 2024 when a “masculine-appearing prisoner patient” wanted to discharge from the facility, according to a webpage from the Christian Legal Centre, which represented her.
Upon seeing from his medical records that the patient was a male, Melle said that he “would like to self-discharge,” referring to him as “mister.”
Meet NHS nurse Jennifer Melle. She was reinstated after being suspended from her job for reportedly misgendering a transgender patient, according to GB News. Congratulations, Jennifer!
