LIVE UPDATES: Sex expert exposes shortcomings of 'gender affirming care' in Amy Hamm trial

X / preta_6 and jamescantor.org

Amy Hamm, a B.C. nurse, women's rights advocate, and mother of two, enters Day 16 of her disciplinary hearing with the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) over her acknowledgement that two genders exist.

Two members of the public, who had never been patients of the accused, lodged a complaint with the BCCNM over an 'I [heart] J.K. Rowling' billboard from 2020, who is also an advocate for women and children.

"A friend and I put up this billboard [...] and that's what spurred members of the public to complain to the college. When they found out I was a nurse, they accused me being transphobic and said that 'I would not be safe" to care for trans or 'gender-diverse' patients," Hamm told Megyn Kelly on her program October 31.

In November 2020, the regulatory body launched an investigation and subsequently compiled a 332-page report, mostly composed of social media posts and statements by the nurse.

The BCCNM initially claimed Hamm disseminated "medically inaccurate information," but they dropped that charge in June 2022.

In the most recent charge issued by the board, 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.

"Women's sex-based rights and free speech are worth every battle that comes our way," posted Hamm on her X feed October 25.

"Funny how I’m allowed to work despite their accusations that my off-duty conduct makes me unsafe," she posted on X earlier this month.

3. Proceedings ended yesterday with Bastow questioning sexual behaviour expert and psychologist Dr. James Cantor.

4. Today has kicked off with the panel for this quasi-trial ruling in favour of an objection made by BCCNM counsel Barbara Findlay.

Answers Dr. Cantor was giving about about W-Path ( association that sets international standards of care for gender dysphoria ) are speculative

5. Yesterday Dr. Cantor discussed some of the many shortcomings he believe W-Path has including a study that assessed W path and the other proposed clinical guidelines for gender transitioning.
