A medical doctor with 26 years of experience working at the National Health Service (NHS) has been deemed unfit to work after insisting on identifying patients by their biological sex.
Dr. David Mackereth, 55, began training in May to become a health and disability assessor for the government but ran into trouble when his Christian and scientific convictions ran afoul of department protocols.
In his new job, Dr. Mackereth was to compile independent reports about the health of persons who were claiming disability benefits. His instructor told him that regardless of a patient or clients biological sex, he must only refer to them by their self-identified gender.
I said that I had a problem with this, Mackereth said. I believe that gender is defined by biology and genetics and that as a Christian the Bible teaches us that God made humans male or female.

“Gender” as the left uses it is a synonym for “fetish.”
Never allow leftists (particularly feminists) to discuss “Gender” apart from things like a fascination with red hair or dressing as a giant rabbit or any of the other comparable foibles.
Indeed. Im not sure why this is really a religious issue. I dont need the Book of Genesis to tell me that man and woman are innately and physically distinct.
His firing only confirms previous comments I made about London emergency room doctors who refuse to admit that they have to deal with a large amount of injuries due to stabbings and other types of violence. Back in May, President Trump commented about the violence in London, and how gun control hasn’t helped stem the tide of stabbings, etc., in the city. Of course the hospitals and the doctors they employ raised a cry against his comments. The hospitals hire and pay the doctors, but the money comes from the government. So if you don’t tow the line, and instead choose to buck the system like this long-time doctor did, you will be sent on your way.
I stated as much on another thread. Whatever ills befall the UK, they've brought it on themselves, and I'll not have any sympathy for them. Sad, because I love British history, but they've really stepped in it for many years now, and deserve what the future holds in store for them.
That’s because the UK is: (choose your gender) “____________”
It will be implosion and Sharia law.
Excellent!
Next they will demand a hysterectomy for men
He made the mistake of bringing the church into it.
He should have said “WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE- F***ING MORONS? WE NEED TO KNOW WHAT SEX THEY ARE BEFORE WE END UP SCHEDULING A HYSTERECTOMY FOR A MAN”
Confusing gender and sexual orientation can also interfere with a young persons ability to understand and articulate aspects of their own gender. For example, its not uncommon for a transgender or non-binary youth to wonder if they are gay or lesbian (or any sexual orientation other than heterosexual) before coming to a fuller realization of their gender identity.
Its important to understand both gender and sexual orientation, but how we come to understand these parts of ourselves and the choices we make to disclose and express them are distinct paths. Thinking of these two aspects of self as interchangeable may, instead of helping us know ourselves and one another better, actually get in the way of our ability to understand and communicate with one another.
Great. I think I just changed genders 3 times while reading this. I thought I understood things before, but I looked at what I have on and I am no longer sure. I guess Im now Questioning. Pretty much everything.
Well, maybe then Loretta can have a baby ...
Because the left knows that it would look ridiculous if they tried to argue this on scientific grounds, so they make it a part of their war on Christianity -not religion, Christianity-I never hear of any leftist nonsense directed at, for instance, Buddhists or wiccans. Nor that elephant in the room, Islam, which in doctrine and in modern practice is violent and oppressive, unlike the Christianity the left has made their religious whipping boy.
Clear science. No doubt about it at all. The UK has chosen the wrong side. It’s only a matter of time now before the UK falls.
Gender IS defined by biology and genetics.
What is Great Britain attempting to accomplish by denying indisputable scientific fact?
Gender confusion is a treatable mental disorder.
There are two genders - XX and XY - female and male.
There are a vanishingly small number of birth defects - hermaphrodites, etc., - less than 1 in a million.
Everything else is varying degrees and flavors of mental illness.
LMAO! Sooooooo much idiocy in the world, can’t make this sh*t up......gender is BIOLOGICAL, yo!
There are two genders - XX and XY - female and male.
Those are sexes, which are firmly rooted in biology.
Genders, in English, are Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter, which are strongly linked to biology, but not absolutely.
Gender is very seldom important in medicine, but the data-point of Sex is.
