A B.C. nurse has filed a human rights complaint against the province’s nurses’ college after she lost a disciplinary hearing over comments she made about gender issues.

Amy Hamm was accused of making “discriminatory and derogatory statements regarding transgender people” by the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM) regarding comments she made in podcasts, videos, and on social media between 2018 and 2021. She was also investigated by the college after helping a friend sponsor a billboard in support of UK author J.K. Rowling.
