An experienced Christian doctor who was forced out of his job working for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) after refusing to use transgender pronouns has lost his Employment Tribunal case.
The tribunal ruled that his belief in the Biblical view of what it is to be male and female was incompatible with human dignity.
The judgment will have serious ramifications for Christian professionals and indeed all medical professionals, as the judgment dictates the language that professionals must use in the workplace. The judgment is also contrary to scientific reality and is likely to undermine freedom of speech in the workplace.
Sacked for refusing to use transgender pronouns
In July 2019, Dr David Mackereth, 56, a doctor for 26 years in the NHS, challenged the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions at Birmingham Employment Tribunal after he was sacked from his job for refusing to identify clients by their chosen gender instead of their biological sex.
Counsel representing Dr Mackereth, Christian Legal Centres Michael Phillips, argued that the DWP discriminated against Dr Mackereth because of his Christian beliefs, including: His belief in the truth of the Bible, and in particular, the truth of Genesis 1:27: So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. It follows that every person is created by God as either male or female. A person cannot change their sex/gender at will. Any attempt at, or pretence of, doing so, is pointless, self-destructive, and sinful.
The DWPs case against Dr Mackereth, however, claimed that his belief in Genesis 1:27 was not a belief protected by the Equality Act 2010 and was a mere opinion.

Very easy to understand.
England is lost. Toss out a Doctor with decades of learning and experience because he won’t ignore the obvious.
This is why democracies dislike elections. It could potentially upset the reigning paradigm of tribunals.
Have any Muslim doctors been fired because of this? Inquiring minds want to know.
Read it in my Bible to my kids again last night. “Male and female He created them”
It is incompatible with leftists and their father of lies, this is true.
Muslim doctors will be treated like Muslim bakers or Muslim caterers: Don’t ask, don’t tell.
I wonder if a believe in a “thewholykhuulrahn” (as Odumbass would say) would be ruled the same way?
it’s not “the Biblical view,” it’s the scientific view. The Bible has nothing to do with the biological reality.
The only transgender pronoun I know is “it”.
Reality is a social construct. Logic and reason are the perpetuation of white cisheteropatriarchy. Thats what the enlightened perfessers teach today.
It seems to me England and most of Europe is lost to the Islamic invasion.
No matter how many laws you pas how much you whine bitch rant cry etc. I will always and forever call males male and females female. I an not a fool or an idiot and I refuse to be forced into being one!
English Common Law was at least 80 percent derived from the Bible. And our system of law came from their common law.
