Amy Hamm, a B.C. nurse, women's rights advocate, and mother of two, continues to face scrutiny from her regulatory board after placing an 'I heart JK Rowling' billboard in Vancouver in 2020.

Two members of the public, who had never been patients of the accused, lodged a complaint with the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) last year. They claimed Hamm disseminated "medically inaccurate information" by standing in solidarity with Rowling, also an advocate for women and children.

The professional body subsequently launched an investigation into the matter, rescinding the initial charge in June 2022.

Now, they allege the nurse "[…] made discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people [between approximately July 2018 and March 2021] as a nurse or nurse educator" across various online platforms, including but not limited to, podcasts, videos, published writings and social media.

Hamm told Rebel News that following the complaint, she received tens of thousands of messages that threatened her with hate and abuse. "I think that has the effect of showing people how toxic this debate actually is," she said, referring to the hearing against her as a 'witch hunt.' 

"Funny how I’m allowed to work despite their accusations that my off-duty conduct makes me unsafe," she posted on her X feed October 4. "This is a show trial. A witch trial."

"They want me to quit," said Hamm before publicly declaring the BCCNM is "stuck with me."

Lisa Bildy, one of Hamm's legal counsels, started Tuesday's proceedings with an objection to the "shenanigans" the day prior that caused considerable delays, including interruptions from a member of the public.

Bildy also formally objected to Dr. Ayden Sheim being a witness for the college as Sheim observed the virtual qualification hearing for Dr. Cantor, a sexologist and clinical psychologist.

The panel later qualified him that afternoon, where he will serve as an expert witness for Hamm.

2) Should a medical professional lose their licence to practice for saying off duty comments like

“trans women are men”
or

“there are only 2 genders?”

That’s essentially the gist of what’s at stake with this case.

3) today’s hearing has started with an objection brought forward by Lisa Bildy, one of Hamm’s counsel.

It relates to some of the shenanigans that occurred during yesterday’s hearing which saw many delays.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

4) Bildy formally objects to Dr. Ayden Sheim, being a witness for the college because yesterday, it was discovered that Sheim had been in the virtual gallery observing the qualification hearing for Dr. Cantor.

If qualified by the panel, Canter will be an expert witness for Hamm pic.twitter.com/ObDds5NA93

6. Counsel Bastow, is continuing to qualify Dr. James Cantor, in hopes that he will be permitted to provide expert evidence for Hamm.

Bastow does this by going through Dr. Cantor’s extensive research & experience with transgenderism, gender dysphoria for adults and adolescents. pic.twitter.com/gSx59ziifK

7) Barbara Findlay, counsel for the college objected to Bastow asking questions about Dr. Cantor’s experience with the study of paedophilia.

Bastow submits Hamm’s activism connects to safety concerns related to the protection of children and women from mostly male paedophiles.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

8 ) Bastow challenged the objection further by saying Hamm is also an advocate for safe spaces for women and children “particularly women imprisoned with biological males.”

9 ) Panel decides to let Bastow proceed with qualifying Dr. Cantor

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

10. Bastow asked Dr. Cantor who is a clinical psychologist and sexologist why he started doing work that didn’t align with the affirm all things gender dysphoric care model.

Cantor: I’m a scientist. Somebody was getting the science wrong in my field. Very, very, very wrong.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

11 ) Dr. Cantor says it’s very hard for people in his field to speak out against the political affirmative care approach so he did.

“I felt a duty to correct the record” in regards to the junk science being used to push affirmative care always.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

12 ) speaking of junk science, here is my interview with Psychiatrist Dr. Stephen Levine, who debunks 2 of the most popular studies used to justify the medical transitioning of youth. https://t.co/SXYU6WUgGq

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

13 ) Dr. Cantor says the impact of this junk science being misused affects prepubescent children with gender dysphoria.

“ 11 out of 11 studies, it’s unanimous that these kids mostly turn out to be gay.”

Cantor suggests a wait and see model is better.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

14)

Bastow is done qualifying Dr. Cantor.

Now it’s counsel for the college, Barbara Findlay’s turn to try and disqualify Dr. Cantor.

Findlay’s questioning will continue after break.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

15 ) Findlay has continued with cross examining Hamm’s potential expert witness Dr. James Cantor.

She read some statements Cantor has previously made relating to his work and then asks Cantor if he recalls saying it.

Cantor replies “somewhat, yes” to the quotes.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

16) Findlay has been reading what was on a academic C.D. of Dr. Cantor’s while cross examining Dr. Cantor

There are technical difficulties with the audio so it’s difficult to hear what’s said, but Bastow has objected to Finlay continuing along the same line of cross examination

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

17) Bastow says Ms. Findlay has every right to put Dr. Cantor’s postings that he includes on his websites into question re. the qualification

But objects to Findlay suggesting Dr. Cantor prepared the academic CD for this.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

18) The panel agrees with Bastow.

Cautions Findlay not to proceed with wording that implies Dr. Cantor prepared the academic CD for the current proceeding because he’s already testified that he did not do so.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

19 ) Jordan Peterson was just dragged in to Amy Hamm’s hearing.

College Findlay, brought up a couple of Peterson’s tweets which ended up becoming part of an investigation brought forth by the College of Psychologists of Ontario, against Peterson. https://t.co/c83YyrFzxy

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

20 )

Findlay re. Jordan Peterson’s tweets:

The college concluded that those statements contravened with the Canadian psychologists ethics of psychologists.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

21 )

Findlay: The college concluded that those statements ( Jordan Peterson’s tweeted ) contravened the Canadian psychologists ethics of psychologists.

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

22) Findlay to Dr. Cantor,

In your professional opinion as a psychologist is it your opinion that these statements align with the colleges ethics?

Hearing has ended and Dr. Cantor will answer during tomorrow’s proceedings unless the question is successfully objected by Bastow

— Drea Humphrey - Prepping and Politics (@DreaHumphrey) October 24, 2023

23 ) As I reported previously, it is true that there are a lot of similarities between Jordan Peterson’s regulatory body going after him for thought crimes and the BCCNM going after nurse Amy Hamm for the same thing. https://t.co/mXscLDohrY
