How attacks on Sandie Peggie's family are taking their toll
The public gallery has become populated by a familiar roll-call of faces. Every day at the Sandie Peggie tribunal, the seating area of the small room in the Dundee tribunal hearing centre is full of committed attendees. Those who are not early or quick enough are relegated to an overflow room to watch proceedings on the small screen. One face has become more recognisable than most — certainly more than she ever expected to be. Nicole Peggie, Sandie's daughter, has been forced by circumstance to defend her mother in an employment tribunal that the nurse brought against her employer NHS Fife and the transgender doctor Beth Upton. The case stems from an incident on Christmas Eve 2023, when Peggie objected to sharing a women's changing room at Victoria Hospital with Upton. This led to a heated exchange, after which Upton reported Peggie to senior management. As a result, Peggie was suspended for alleged gross misconduct.

Nurse in trans row donates crowdfunded money to charities
A nurse at the centre of a legal battle over changing rooms has donated tens of thousands of pounds raised for her by supporters to charities. Sandie Peggie was suspended by NHS Fife in January last year after she objected to having to change in front of a trans doctor, Beth Upton. A crowdfunding appeal launched by supporters during her tribunal attracted 2,288 donors from the UK and abroad, raising £38,555 in 42 days 'so she can treat herself to something she loves'. Peggie, who previously pledged to give the money to good causes, lost her father just before the tribunal hearings started and said the funds had gone to charities close to her heart.
