Changing room trans row nurse 'felt intimidated'

  • A Fife nurse, Sandie Peggie, claims she was unlawfully harassed after sharing a changing room with Dr. Beth Upton, a trans woman, during an employment tribunal.
  • Peggie expressed feeling "embarrassed and intimidated" when Dr. Upton changed in the same room, leading to her suspension by NHS Fife in January 2024.
  • Dr. Upton reported Peggie for bullying, and the tribunal has allowed Peggie to refer to Upton as a man during proceedings.
  • The tribunal is expected to last 10 days, with Peggie arguing that Upton's presence in the women's changing room was discriminatory and made her uncomfortable.
