Rowling<\/a> and insists that men cannot become women, is at risk of losing her job as she faces a hearing from a national medical board.<\/p>\n<p>As far back as November 2020, Amy Eileen Hamm, a single mother with two young sons, has faced an investigation from the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) after two people had lodged complained about her, according to the nurse.\u00a0She is now in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bccnm.ca\/Public\/complaints\/Pages\/Notice.aspx?NoticeID=790\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">midst<\/a> of a three-day hearing, after which she will face another hearing in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was denounced with the slur \u2018TERF\u2019 (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), which was in 2016,\u201d Hamm wrote in April 2022 in <a href=\"https:\/\/quillette.com\/2022\/04\/08\/im-being-investigated-by-the-british-columbia-college-of-nurses-because-i-believe-biological-sex-is-real\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quillette<\/a>. The term \u201cTERF\u201d has also been used by transgender activists to target Rowling, for whom Hamm helped put up a billboard expressing her support, simply writing, \u201cI \u2665 JK Rowling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Once she became aware of the threat to her livelihood, Hamm initially hired attorney Lisa Bildy, then with Canada\u2019s Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms explaining, \u201cI had no assurances that my union-provided legal representative wouldn\u2019t be ideologically sympathetic with my accusers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd as it turned out, this was a good call: My province\u2019s nurses\u2019 union has since lobbied the Canadian government\u00a0(without, to my knowledge, consulting members) to pass a controversial bill that threatens healthcare workers with prison time if they do not immediately \u2018affirm\u2019 the stated gender of any patient, no matter how young,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Hamm is adamant about her opposition to the radical gender theory sweeping Canada and the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMen are not women. Humans are a dimorphic species,\u201d Hamm wrote in her April article. \u201cWomen and men are biologically different from one another. Women and girls have sex-based rights as a result of those differences. Those rights are under threat. This is the truth. It has always been the truth. Speaking the truth should not be a punishable offense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Centre issued a July 2021 press <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jccf.ca\/nurse-being-investigated-by-college-of-nurses-for-her-gender-critical-views\/\">release<\/a>\u00a0expressing concern that activists are \u201cweaponizing\u201d agencies that regulate professions in a bid to force people to adopt radical ideologies. The agencies use lengthy disciplinary procedures, even when the complaints are from activists and not clients or, in Hamm\u2019s case, patients, the group said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Justice Centre\u2019s submissions defend the right of health professionals to express their opinions on matters of policy in the public square and argue that everyone is entitled to freedom of thought, belief, opinion, and expression, as guaranteed by the\u00a0<em>Charter<\/em>\u2014including health professionals,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>Hamm has said her case was important for the future of nurses and midwives throughout Canada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I win my case, I believe that the dividends will accrue to nurses and midwives all across my province, and maybe even the whole country. The precedent will help ensure that we can call out gender-identity ideology without fear of reprisal or loss of livelihood,\u201d Hamm said.<\/p>\n<p>Just days before the initial hearing, Hamm has not been reticent to make her views known.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wednesday morning when my hearing starts I will be thinking of the kids forcibly exposed to the perverted Ontario teacher; and the women locked up with a rapist, necrophiliac killer; and the women who might flee domestic violence and end up sheltered with males.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Amy Eileen Hamm (@preta_6) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/preta_6\/status\/1571946962966155266?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not a normal disciplinary hearing,\u201d Bildy said in her opening submission for the hearing, <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/nurse-faces-trial-in-bc-for-saying-biological-sex-is-real\">according<\/a> to The Post Millenial. \u201cYou will not hear about a nurse who sexually abused a patient \u2026 who mishandled narcotics \u2026 or who assaulted elderly patients.
