Michael Higgins: B.C. nurse Amy Hamm is being persecuted for believing in biology

In Canada right now you could probably put up a sign that said, “I love Satan,” and nothing would happen.

But put up a sign saying “I (heart) J. K. Rowling” and then, like nurse Amy Hamm, you face a trial before a disciplinary body and the loss of your livelihood.

Hamm’s crime is that she believes biological sex is real, that men are men and women are women. And for that she is being persecuted.

Hamm believes that you should respect transgendered people but that women should be allowed safe spaces in areas like washrooms, changing rooms, and prisons. And for that she is being persecuted.

Hamm believes that she should be able to speak about these things because she is under the impression we live in a free, tolerant society where differing views are respected. And for that she is being persecuted.
