A woke Queensland hospital has told a child psychiatrist she cannot return to work after she spoke out about her “transgender” activist colleagues and their obsession with radical gender ideology.
Dr Jillian Spencer, who was previously stood down from the Queensland Children’s Hospital (QCH) for expressing a conscientious objection to “gender-affirming care”, has now received a letter telling her she was no longer welcome in “any workplace”, The Courier Mail reported.
The letter from Executive Director of Clinical Services Dominic Tait came after Dr Spencer told a seminar in Sydney in April that she found it “dispiriting” to be surrounded by colleagues wearing rainbow lanyards and pronoun badges and having to walk past “trans pride” flags daily.
“Listening to clinicians carefully using a child’s preferred pronouns whilst discussing cases with me generated a sense of disconnection from my workmates,” she said in her speech.
“I felt physically sick after we had an education session from a gender clinic nurse, and she said the hospital was running chest-binder fitting sessions for girls. Hearing my boss talk about his nine-year-old daughter, saying ‘she identifies as a girl at this stage’.
“All the pride days, and the IDAHOBIT days and the ‘wear it purple’ week of events were insufferable, and completely inappropriate for a children’s hospital. They were getting mentally ill children from the mental health wards to create artwork to put up on the walls to celebrate those events.”
In his letter Mr Tait accused Dr Spencer of “making disparaging comments that you know to be untrue”, and said that he was not even prepared to let her work remotely.
“I hold significant concerns regarding your ability to work with any other colleagues or any other office within the Hospital Health Service when considering the allegations against you,” he wrote.
“Taking this into consideration, at this time, I am not satisfied that it is appropriate for you to return to any workplace.”
Dr Spencer said it appeared the hospital wanted to “have another go” at sacking her, and said her speech was simply about the pain and fear she suffered after being removed from her clinical duties and suspended by the hospital.
Speaking to Sky News Australia on Sunday, Dr Spencer detailed how she was initially stood down in 2023 after raising concerns about the dangerous and damaging practice of “gender affirmation”.
“I raised concerns about what I was seeing clinically, which was the gender transitioning of troubled and confused children with puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones,” she said.
“And I discovered there was no evidence of mental health benefit from these interventions, and really serious long-term harms, like infertility, lack of sexual function and physical health problems.
“Since then the hospital has sent me four separate show cause notices accusing me of breaching the code of conduct for speaking out publicly about the harms they were doing to children.”
Dr Spencer went on to say that she believed QCH was not the only institution captured by radical gender ideology, calling it “incredibly widespread”, and added that her hospital was running a “huge number of LGBTQI+ pride events” where kids were given trans badges and rainbow ribbons.
“They’re engaging them in very fun activities like art and dancing, and that was to build rapport so that they could talk to children about ‘diverse genders and sexualities’,” she said.
“And I was really worried about that because there’s quite a lot of vulnerable and lonely kids in the hospital, for example, some really sick kids spend months or up to a year in hospital so they get really isolated. So the hospital is really unhappy with me talking about them cheerleading children into ‘transition’.”
QCH has three videos on the resources section of its website confirming Dr Spencer’s claims about the hospital’s activist staff and pride events.

One features staff at a “wear it purple” event and includes an interview with a 15-year-old wearing a “trans” flag as a cape. Queensland Police officers wearing homosexual ribbons also appear in the clip, as does a speech pathologist who declares “diversity is amazing”.
The other two clips are comprised of interviews with gender-confused and/or homosexual young people and parents including an aboriginal who describes herself as “queer”.
In January Queensland halted the use of puberty blockers for minors state-wide after a Cairns gender clinic was found to be prescribing them to children as young as 12 without the required consultations.
And in April the Adelaide Women and Children’s Hospital admitted approving dangerous “gender-affirming treatment” for 22 children, one aged just 11, without the required psychiatrist assessments.
The Adelaide gender clinic faced calls for a review in June last year after it was revealed eight children aged between three and 10 had been given “gender-affirming treatment”, with Independent MP Frank Pangallo calling the situation “disturbing”.
