Nurses' union criticised for delay over biological sex row
Daily Express
|December 01, 2025
THE world’s largest nursing union is facing a backlash from NHS staff over its delay to issue clear guidance on biological sex.
St Helier nurse Jennifer Melle is taking legal action
Despite a landmark Supreme Court ruling, the Royal College of Nursing said it cannot implement the judgment.
It argues it is waiting until the Equality and Human Rights Commission publishes guidance.
The eight-month delay comes as the RCN refuses to publicly support Jennifer Melle, a Christian nurse suspended after refusing to use biologically inaccurate pronouns for a convicted male paedo-phile patient.
Her case has been taken up by the Christian Legal Centre and Darlington Nursing Union.
