A disciplinary hearing for a B.C. nurse accused of making “discriminatory” comments online about gender issues is set to resume on March 18.

Amy Hamm was accused of making “discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people” by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) in connection with comments made in podcasts, videos, and social media between 2018 and 2021, the organization said in a June 28, 2022, citation.

The regulatory body began its investigation in November 2020. Ms. Hamm has already appeared before the panel four times.

The upcoming two-day hearing will be the “end of the disciplinary hearing phase of my fight,” Ms. Hamm said in a March 11 post on platform X.

“This ordeal (that started more than three years ago) has been the most personally and (obviously) professionally challenging thing I’ve ever faced,” she added.

“I’ve been to the brink of insanity and despair many times over; it has steeled me and transformed me in a way that I am grateful for, despite the deep anger and resentment I have for being put through it all. I’ve done my best, and I hope it was good enough.”

Many of us on the sane side of this issue are very proud of you for your courage and determination.

The Epoch Times contacted the nurses college for comment but was told it does not comment on disciplinary hearings.

The organization also confirmed that these were the last two scheduled days of the hearing, but that more could be added if additional time was needed for completion.

Allegations

The BCCNM, which is the largest health profession regulator in Western Canada, said Ms. Hamm’s conduct violated standards and was deemed unprofessional.

It had also previously accused her of making “medically inaccurate” statements but ended up dropping that charge.

One of the issues the agency cited was Ms. Hamm’s involvement in erecting a billboard in Vancouver that said, “I [love] JK Rowling.” The sign was displayed after the British author spoke up for sex-based rights and was subsequently labelled “transphobic” by activists. 

Rowling claims she is not transphobic. But she brings an air of reality that the issue is desperate for.

“You made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people, while identifying yourself as a nurse or nurse educator,” the citation says, adding that the “questionable statements” were made between July 2018 and March 2021 on various online platforms. 

Ms. Hamm spoke out in another social media post about World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) documents in which staff raised questions about transgender health procedures, according to the National Post.

“Many of you have asked me how the WPATH files or other new developments exposing gender ideology will affect the arguments: we cannot introduce new evidence at this stage, unfortunately,” she said. “But no matter—the truth is emerging by the hour and more and more of us are seeing it.”

The ruling on her case could take many months, she said, adding that during that time, “we can be certain of one thing: the gender ideology house of cards will keep falling.”

Ms. Hamm could face suspension or cancellation of her nursing registration, according to the BCCNM website. However, decisions can be appealed at the British Columbia Supreme Court.

“I hope this is the end, and I pray it ends in justice,” she said in her social media post.

“All I want is to have held the line for women, children, and freedom. All I want is to have held the line so we can continue to fight together to fix what is so deeply broken in Canada.”

Japanese high court rules lack of same-sex marriage recognition unconstitutional

March 14 (UPI) -- A Japanese high court said on Thursday the government has violated its constitution's right to equality by not legally recognizing same-sex marriage.

The ruling by the Sapporo High Court backed a 2021 decision by a lower court saying that the lack of protections went against Article 14 of the Japanese constitution.

The court, however, rejected giving three couples that filed the lawsuit $40,600 in damages for emotional distress. The lower court also denied the couples, all from Hokkaido, compensation in the original case as well.

The Japanese government had argued that Article 24 of its constitution said that marriage "shall be based on the mutual consent of parties of both sexes," and thus does not include same-sex marriage.

Amnesty International said Thursday's ruling was a "step forward" for Japan in recognizing same-sex marriage.

And a step forward in approaching Sodom and Gomorrah. And, a step further from God.

"The ruling in Sapporo, the first high court decision on same-sex marriage in the country, emphatically shows the trend towards acceptance of same-sex marriage in Japan," said Boram Jang, the East Asia researcher for Amnesty International.

"These rulings make clear that such discrimination has no place in Japanese society. The Japanese government now needs to be proactive in moving towards the legalization of same-sex marriage so that couples can fully enjoy the same marriage rights as their heterosexual counterparts."

Discrimination has no place in Japanese society, just like God!

Last June, Japan's lower house passed a bill of understanding regarding legal protections of sexual minorities there. The bill says that there should be "no unfair discrimination" based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Some Japanese political parties, though, said the bill does not go far enough in providing protections.
