After more than four years of persecution over her comments on gender, British Columbia nurse Amy Hamm was found guilty of professional misconduct.Now, months later, the BC College of Nurses and Midwives is trying to make her pay for their legal costs.."The [BCCNM] spent 4+ years persecuting me for my political views," Hamm wrote in a post on X. "Their latest move is to try to take $163,053 dollars from me, a single mother, to pay for their bullsh*t persecution that I wanted nothing to do with. And suspend my licence for 3 months."She pointed out that the regulatory body had already cost her her job of 13 years."They are f*cking evil," Hamm declared. "Evil. Who does this?"The requests were submitted by BCCNM lawyer Michael Seaborn on May 29..Hamm's announcement was met with support from those who shared her dismay that a healthcare regulator would persecute a nurse for knowing what biological sex is.."I have absolutely no doubt that we will make sure that it's not you who has to pay the money," one user wrote in response. "There are definitely 163,053 TERFs in this world & we'll all pitch in."."GiveSendGo, girl," another added. "We'll do this overnight and show those mean old postmenopausal women a thing.".The case against Hamm began in 2020 when she co-sponsored a billboard in Vancouver that read, "I ♥ JK Rowling" to support of the British author's advocacy for female-only spaces. Complaints accused Hamm of transphobia and called for her to be barred from nursing..B.C. nurse found guilty of professional misconduct over gender commentary .In March, a BCCNM disciplinary panel ruled that Hamm's decision to identify herself as a nurse in the biography of three articles and in one podcast linked her comments to her profession, and thus making them subject to regulatory scrutiny.Her social media activity, on the other hand, was not ruled to be misconduct, with the panel noting that it would be a restriction of her freedom of speech.
