UK: Doctor Fired for Referring to a Male As a Man.

You are what you are, not what you think you are, even in the United Kingdom, from Legal Insurrection [1]:

Doctor David Mackereth worked for the NHS as a medical assessor for 26 years until recently when he was “sacked” and ruled “unfit” to continue working with the Department because “he refused to identify patients as being of a sex that they did not see themselves as.”

More from Telegraph(UK):

Mackereth, who registered as a doctor in 1989 and spent most of his career working in Accident & Emergency wards, said: “I’m not attacking the transgender movement. But, I’m defending my right to freedom of speech, and freedom of belief.

“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.”

Dr Mackereth, a Reformed Baptist, started a training course in May to become a health and disability assessor for the DWP. His role would have meant interviewing and then writing independent reports about the health of those claiming disability benefits.

However, when his instructor stated that reports must only refer to the patient – or “client” – by the sex that person identified themselves as, a discussion took place among the medics about the “fluid” nature of gender, Dr Mackereth claims.

“I said that I had a problem with this. 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.

“The tutor took me aside and said he had passed my comments up the chain to the DWP.”

To paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, calling a dog a horse, will not make Rover like to eat oats.  Calling a biological man a woman, will not make his a woman.  So why does the state insist of substituting delusion for reality?

Passing thought, can Mrs. Clinton become President Clinton is just really believes she is the President? Film at Eleven.
