as Mr. X. The sex offender overheard this and went nuts screaming the
N-word at her: he was upset that his wasn't referred to as a woman.
Obviously, punishment had to follow and it did: the NURSE was
reprimanded for mis-gendering the patient and is now at risk of losing
her job and her profession since she may be banned from nursing now.

 I'm declaring the entire legal system to be sanity-challenged.

I think this was more a case of a professional body over-regulating itself rather than the legal system per se, at least so far. It reminds me of the Ontario association of psychiatrists demanding that Jordan Peterson attend mandatory retraining - at his own expense - on how to speak to the public. Mind you, that ruling by the association was enforced by the courts when Peterson declined to participate. He then spent a *lot* of money on lawyers fighting the ruling in court but lost. And now he lives in Phoenix rather than Toronto.
I wouldn't be remotely surprised if the British nurses association also used the courts to enforce its rulings if the nurse doesn't cooperate. I hope some civic-minded lawyer comes forth to help this poor woman pro bono just to bring this flagrant injustice out into the open.
You forgot to declare *me* gramatically-challenged ;-) I can't believe I wrote that as poorly as I did. Here's what I meant to say:
