A transgender doctor continued to use female changing rooms after an incident with a female nurse who objected and said “I decided to put my big girl pants on and be brave”, an employment tribunal has heard.

Nurse Sandie Peggie, who has worked at the Victoria Hospital in Kirkcaldy, Fife, for 30 years, took the Fife Health Board and Dr Beth Upton to tribunal after being suspended following an incident on Christmas Eve 2023 in the female changing rooms.
