Nurse Amy Hamm has accused the B.C. College of Nurses and Midwives of conducting a 'witch trial' over her public statements on transgender people.
The legal team for a B.C. nurse facing potential discipline over her public statements about transgender people is arguing that a controversial psychologist should be allowed to give expert evidence suggesting there is social value and scientific truth in her opinions.
The college, on the other hand, is arguing to disqualify Cantor as an expert, arguing he doesn't have the necessary expertise. Under questioning at Hamm's hearing, Cantor suggested that many young people who identify as transgender will actually turn out to be gay or lesbian, and that growing numbers of adolescents are coming out as trans because of social media.
Earlier in the week, Cantor responded to a question of whether transgender people face discrimination and exclusion because of their gender identities by suggesting they may not understand the true source of the prejudice they experience.
