The 55-year-old was fired as a government medical assessor for refusing to identify patients by their preferred gender says his right to freedom of speech has been denied.
He told Mail Online: “As a Christian, I believe gender is determined biologically and genetically.”
Dr Mackereth added: “I knew it could be the end of my work as a doctor, but I could not live with myself if I didn’t speak up.
“It would be dishonest — and I didn’t want to live a lie.”
He has worked for the NHS for 26 years, but was told he could not become a Department for Work and Pensions disability assessor if he refused to identify patients by their preferred gender.
Until Facebook and Twitter, add in the phony “journalistic” mentally ill with blogs, he’s 100% correct. First it was step out of the closet. Now it’s you must agree everyone is gay and if you don’t your a hater. I have never cared. Like Dennis Miller said “Pick a hole and stick with it”. I’ll only add to that “have enough common decency and respect for others to keep it to yourself”. Look in the mirror and ask who the real hater is.
He is also being denied his right to sanity. Let’s think about this for a moment. Let’s imagine — and it’s not a difficult analogy — that his patients are also allowed the “right” to invent whatever injury or illness they believe they have. Should the doctor be required to treat a nonexistent heart ailment, cancer, or broken arm? I argue there is no difference. If a male insists he is a woman and demands to be treated as one by a doctor, how can the doctor do his job if the patient develops testicular cancer?
Being forced to indulge these absurd and corrosive ideas serve only one purpose and that is to splinter society’s cohesion. For the evil perpetrators to be successful they need the support of those in positions of authority. The only way to counteract this trend is to focus on the individuals and isolate them. Politicians and those in the mainstream press are the vectors and therefore the targets.
This is exactly what the left has been so successful doing. We cannot defeat them without using the same weapons.
What comes natural to them is foreign to us but nevertheless necessary.
I missed this… by mere inches…
I always thought it would be the “gay” thing that would send the politically correct storm troopers after us..
It’s the “Transformers”
and mind you I don’t know how to refer to any person’s gender other than “He, She, Ma’am and Sir”
It isn’t because I’m a Christian that I believe there are only two sexes.
It’s because it is a fact that there only two sexes.
I get his point and I agree. But this isn’t something I “believe.” It is something I know to be factually true.
The guys living proof of the old saying that the truth hurts!
One CAN choose one’s “gender.”
One CANNOT choose one’s sex.
This is (vaguely) akin to socialisms’ destruction of individuals and organizations who (which?) cannot, because of their factual-based existence, accept the lies and dogmas of the “socialist reality” as defined by the socialists and persist in their adherence to objective reality.
“Objectivism?”
Perhaps.
Those who perceive the Universe as it is, instead of how someone else imagines it, or how those others wish it to be, will always be anathematic to totalitarianism.
Utopianism (No-where-ism or Nihilism) is an obvious fantasy (nightmare?) to rational people.
izlamo delenda est …
Gender alarmists are science deniers.
Which one of the 60 or so to pick and choose from did he offend?
Will Crayola come out with a Gender Box?
When it comes to gender, in my book you got three choices: Male, Female and Fail.
Ditto Tim’s, above.
Since the left plays word games, we need to get precise and clear in order to counter the nonsense.
Only things have “genders”. People don’t have genders. People are one of two sexes, or else intersexed.
“Gender” refers to the artificial or stereotypical categorization of certain words, ideas, abilities, and things as being either “feminine” (associated with the female sex), or “masculine” (associated with the male sex). Or “neuter” (associated with neither).
if there were more than two sexes I would have found out in my younger days, except for that out of this world alien female which I still don’t know what was.
That is the most incredible thing about this article and demonstrates how far down the rabbit hole our media-led culture has gone.
An immutable, biological fact no-brainer is demoted to and dismissed as a “Christian belief”
Exactly Birdie.
“As a Christian, I believe gender is determined biologically and genetically.” How about: As a rational human being who believes in science there are 2 sexes which are determined biologically and genetically.
These deniers on the left are out of their minds.
How the heck is it a Christian belief?
You can only be male or female or in the extremely rare cases when someone is born with both sexual organs. It’s not Christian based, but fact based.
Now as a Christian I do believe you’re going to pay a price for cutting off your penis or turning your vagina into a penis. Parents who push this on their children I think will pay a greater price.
I feel the same way about those who act upon their gay tendencies.
God says he gave them over to a reprobate mind and sadly I think a huge percentage of our population He has gave over.
Fact:You are born male or female.
Fact:Reproduction only occurs between male and female.
Neither has anything to do with Christian beliefs.
I think the idea might have been that pretending this stuff was true would be living a lie, which does go against Christian belief.
America is doomed if this nonsense is allowed to continue. Now, my neutered cat is confused.
