Nurse in British Columbia Faces Consequences in Disciplinary Hearing for Making Gender-Based Comments

March 14, 2025 TruthUSA

A B.C. nurse accused by the provincial nurses’ college of making “discriminatory” comments about gender issues online has lost in a disciplinary hearing that has gone on for nearly three years.

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 she made in podcasts, videos, and on social media between 2018 and 2021.

Hearings started in September 2022, with a panel of the Discipline Committee of the BCCNM issuing its final decision on March 13.

“I regret to say that I lost my case against The BC College of Nurses and Midwives,” Hamm said in a post on social media the same day. “The fight isn’t over. I will always fight for free speech and women’s sex-based rights.”

Hamm has been an outspoken advocate for sex-based rights for women and girls. In September 2020, she co-sponsored a billboard in Vancouver that read, “I [love] JK Rowling,” referring to the British author’s public defence of women’s right to female-only spaces, such as prisons, restrooms, and sporting events.

The billboard prompted complaints from some individuals to the BCCNM, accusing Hamm of being “transphobic” and saying she was unfit to be a nurse.
