Trans women should be excluded from women-only spaces as they are 'still men', a lawyer representing nurse Sandie Peggie has told a tribunal.
Ms Peggie was suspended by NHS Fife after she complained about having to share a changing room with Dr Beth Upton, a trans medic, at Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, on Christmas Eve 2023.
She was placed on special leave after Dr Upton made an allegation of bullying and harassment, and cited concerns about patient care.
Ms Peggie has lodged a claim against NHS Fife and Dr Upton, citing the Equality Act 2010, including sexual harassment, harassment related to a protected belief, indirect discrimination, and victimisation.
The employment tribunal is currently hearing closing submissions from both sides, having heard from all its witnesses before it was adjourned at the end of July.
