Christians don't have to affirm transgenderism, but they can’t express that view at work: tribunal (UK)
The Christian Post ^ | 06/30/2022 | Anugrah Kumar,

A London-based employment tribunal has ruled that the British Equality Act protects Christians’ beliefs that do not affirm transgenderism, but they cannot express those beliefs in the workplace.

The Employment Appeal Tribunal in London delivered the judgment Wednesday in a case concerning a Christian doctor whose work contract was terminated over his refusal to refer to a man as a woman.

In July 2018, Dr. David Mackereth, an A&E doctor with 30 years of experience, was forced out of his job in the Department of Work and Pensions. He subsequently took his case to the tribunal which ruled that biblical beliefs on gender are “incompatible with human dignity” and not “worthy of respect in a democratic society.” The doctor then sought to challenge that ruling.

They are arrogant enough to do this in a country without a 2A.

But affirming someone to be something they are not is compatible with human dignity?

Although apparently there is an accepted place for the Eunuch. (last verse)

Genesis 1:27 ESV
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Genesis 5:2 ESV
Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.

Matthew 19:4-5 ESV
He answered, “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?

Deuteronomy 22:5 ESV
“A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

Matthew 19:12 ESV
For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let the one who is able to receive this receive it.”

In my following of this crap it seems you can pick your pronoun and change your pronoun depending on how you identify at any given moment. People even invent pronouns. I doubt that I will encounter this in my life, but just in case I have given it some thought. I identify as MAGA when asked. The rest of the time I am male. My pronoun when asked is ‘Fock Biden’, and I will insist that any pronoun twisted leftist use ‘Fock Biden’ when addressing or talking about me. The rest of the time will just be normal he/him.

I encourage more people do this, as it emphasizes how hideous stupid all this crap is.

People are being “turned to fables”, just as predicted in the Bible. The 7-year tribulation is not far off. Watch, wait, and pray.

Science debunks trannydom.

No need for the Bible.

Homosexuals role playing husband and wife are living in fantasies, not marriages nor reality!

What they want is becoming compulsory. What they dislike is now banned!

If it’s a noose, it is a double ended noose.

If belief “A” can be held but not expressed in the workplace, then beliefs “B,” “C,” “D,” “etc.” similarly can be held but not expressed in the workplace.

So this ruling would seem to apply to “transgenderism” as well. You can “believe” in it but you cannot engage in agitprop about it to other workers or insist on the observation of its peculiar practices.

This should make for some interesting conversations in the examination room, especially since simply stating facts is not necessarily an act of religious outreach. Of course, it’s the UK. So stating the facts, even politely, might still be an offense.

Are humans smart enough to survive as a species? Being this dumb makes one wonder.

My rabbits know if they are a boy or a girl. Humans have difficulty with this concept, apparently.

The judge thinks he can just rule for everyone that the Bible is now unacceptable.

...but we should be grateful that he allows “to think it is ok”. Wow. How generous to allow us to have a thought in our head.

There is a reason that the founders included both freedom of speech and freedom of religion in the 1st Amendment. You can’t have one without the other.

If you think this isn't coming to America you're more of an optimist than I am. Guns are useful for a lot of things, but employers going woke isn't one of them. I hate the anti-scientific propaganda being shoved down our throats, but I also have to keep my job. I can't eat lead.

Freedom of speech . . . as long as you keep your mouth shut.

Like I said, guns are great for preventing tyranny by governments. But if my employer or supervisor decides to go woke on his/her own accord, without a government mandate, I can hardly wave my gun in his/her face and demand otherwise.
