British Doctor David Mackereth has lost his job as a government medical assessor because he would not renounce his belief that gender is established at birth.
The 55-year-old Mackereth worked as a physician for Britain’s National Health Service for 26 years, mostly in emergency rooms, but was told that in his new position as a “disability assessor” he must identify transgender patients as the sex they said they were, rather than their sex at birth.
Mackereth, a Reformed Baptist, refused and says his free speech rights have been violated over his religious convictions.
“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.”
“I could have kept my mouth shut but it was the right time to raise it,” he said. “I don’t believe I should be compelled to use a specific pronoun. I am not setting out to upset anyone. But, if upsetting someone can lead to doctors being sacked then, as a society we have to examine where we are going.”

Male and Female genders are Biblical … but even a rafional atheist can recognise how crazy today’s politically correct Gender-obsession can become – See: http://genderfluidsupport.tumblr.com/gender.
This is unbelievable. How far have we fallen. An honest comment like that and you lose your job.
Well, Britain like the USA has now been filled with muslims and other religious groups as part of a global strategy by groups like the Islamic Jihad and others who are hell bent on turning such countries into anti-Christian havens. The UK’s attitude towards Christians is not surprising, given the relentless attacks Christians like Donald Trump has had to endure from Obama and his cohorts, including the media who delight in persecuting Christians. Fortunately the Lord is not blind, each oppressor will suffer his fate eventually including the British Government who are too scared to confront religion head on and acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ.
*No fear of God so satan has a field day. We compromise. We are our own god – self idolatry. So who is your protection? Satan??? He comes to steal kill and destroy.
*No courage or character so it’s again self preservation. Better to run with the hares and bark with the hounds, be politically correct. Fear man rather than fear God. Cowards. Keeping our lives to lose it eternally, rather than losing our lives to gain eternal life.
*Love your God above all things.
*Love your neighbour as yourself.
We need to acknowledge and love the TRUTH – Jesus is the truth, the way and the life.
When we love the truth, we’ll be truthful with our neighbour.
