Jennifer Merule is taking action against the NHS after being demoted for refusing to refer to a male sex offender who racially abused her as “her.”
Senior nurses refused to call convicted pedophile patients women, and were therefore investigated and disciplined by the NHS trust.
After refusing to use the pronouns he likes, he agreed to call him by the woman he had chosen, but Jennifer Mehl, 40, of Croydon, was racially abused and physically threatened by a sex offender identified in legal documents as “Mr. X.”
In response, Epsom and the St. Helier University Hospital Trust began an investigation into Merru, a Christian and a child who came to the UK from Uganda.
“Potential risks”
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) says Merule is a “potential risk” for patients to not accept Mr X’s “gender identity.” The nurse said she was a “notable woman” ever since expressing her religious beliefs protected by law, in addition to her views of philosophical beliefs in biological reality, or so-called “gender criticism.”

“Not worthy of respect”
NHS lawyers say Mel’s beliefs, including that humans are either male or female, are “not worthy of respect in a democratic society.”

Mel was on a night shift at St. Helier Hospital in Carshallton, Surrey on May 22, 2024 when he was taken to two security guards from Category C prison where Mr. X was a prisoner.
The six-foot-high prisoner is described by Merule as a “huge” and completely masculine look in an interview shared on social media.
He began to interfere with other patients by yelling that he wanted to leave the hospital, so Merule told the doctor “Mr. X would like to self-released.”
Mel’s explanation revealed that the prisoner was upset and cried out, “Don’t call me Mr.! I am a woman!”
He then used racially abusive terms to nurses and asked, “Imagine if I called you (exped).”
The prisoner then used the racist slur against her three more times, rushing towards her, trying to chase her until the prison guards took control of him.

He threatened to call the police
He then asked for the nurse’s name and NHS number and said he would report her to police for “homophobia” and NHS patient advisory liaison services.
Mel was asked to make a statement about the incident the next time she was on duty, where she said she was affected by the abuse she had suffered.
She was told that “equality and diversity” must be respected, as stated in the NMC Code of Conduct.
After a meeting with HR, Mel was relocated to another unit.
A full investigation was launched, and subsequent reports found that her actions “were not at the value of respect for trust,” and that nurses violated the NMC Code of Conduct, which states that “includes political, religious or moral beliefs) should not be expressed in an inappropriate manner.”
After the October disciplinary hearing, Mel was given a final written warning and referred to the NMC.
She moved to another ward to effectively demote, and saw her name falling out from the hospital’s internal system. This means it’s difficult for her to pick up extra shifts.
Her claims state that the NHS illegally obstructed her rights under Article 9 of the Human Rights Act against freedom of thinking, conscience and religion.
Mel’s legal action follows other well-known incidents involving Darlington and Dundee nurses against the NHS.
“The Marked Woman”
She said in a statement issued by Christian concerns:
“I don’t feel supported by my colleagues or the NHS following the racial abuse and threats of physical violence I have received from my patients.
She continued. “I’m in danger, but I’m treated like a criminal. Sadly, if you put your head on the balustrade and tell the truth about these issues in the NHS, you’re knocked down, seriously punished and demoted.
“My message during the investigation is that in order to respect ‘inclusiveness’ and lies, I should put up with extreme racism and reject my biological reality and my deeply held Christian beliefs. ”
Male added that she felt she had to set herself a position for many other NHS workers who believe that they are “suffering from silence” because of the gender ideology embedded in the organization.
“We’re looking forward to seeing you in a way that’s a great opportunity to see us,” said Andrea Williams, CEO of the Christian Legal Centre.
“I thought I’d seen everything about the controversial legal cases on these issues, but what Jennifer Merule is experiencing at this ideological hand is off-scale and on a whole new and disturbing level.
“The trust cannot force a staff speech and requires an urgent U-turn and an apology.”

Williams urged Street to investigate as an urgent issue.
“He’s already involved in the Darlington nurse case and has previously said it’s ‘terrifying’ because of how they’re being treated. It’s time for government intervention on this issue. ”
Eight nurses at Darlington Memorial Hospital are suing employers Durham and Darlington NHS Foundation Trust County for sexual discrimination and sexual harassment after Rose Henderson, a male nurse who says she is “transgender.”
NHS England and the NMC were contacted for comments on Merlecase. The Epsom and St. Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust declined to comment on the ongoing lawsuit, saying it was “not appropriate.”
