  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

'Degrading and dangerous': Nurses forced to undress in front of trans-identified man celebrate court victory

A group of nurses have won their case against the NHS after they were forced to share their changing room with a trans-identifying man.

Employment Judge Sweeney and tribunal members Denise Newey and Malcolm Brain ruled that the policy enforced by County Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust had failed to take the nurses' concerns seriously and amounted to unlawful harassment and discrimination.

The tribunal concluded that the policy violated the dignity of the nurses and created "a hostile, humiliating and degrading environment."

It is the latest landmark judgment to be handed down on transgenderism after the Supreme Court last year declaredthat the legal definition of a woman is based on biological sex. That ruling determined that the use of public facilities, like changing rooms, should be based on one's sex, not subjective feelings.

Good decision; I was really pleased when I heard this. The nurses did say that the trans man had not caused them any problems, but they felt that their concerns were not taken seriously by the local NHS Trust.
