Dr. David Mackereth has been relieved of his work as a
physician in UK’s National Health System (NHS) for daring to voice his belief
that someone carrying male genitalia is a man, and one with female genitalia a
woman. In UK’s modern society, everybody,
including physicians, is required to address and treat people according to what
gender they choose to ascribe to themselves – male or female. It is now considered a right for a person to
be able to identify with whichever gender they wish, at any point in time as
they wish.
But Dr Mackereth also felt he too
has the right to sanity and faith; and should not be compelled to address a
bearded baritone with a penis as a lady! According to the 55 year old physician
who had been working for the NHS for some 26 years: “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 DailyMailOnline.com
further quotes Dr Mackereth: “I don’t think 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.”
Commenting on this
development, Geoffrey Grider writing for NowTheEndBegins.com, noted that
it’s not just in the U.K. where Christians are no longer allowed to practice their faith without
facing persecution at the hands of the state. According to Grider: “Canada
recently passed a law calling for jail time for people who call someone by the
‘wrong pronoun,’ as well as a bill that allows the government to seize children
from parents who only acknowledge two genders.” [Read the rest of the article online at https://churcharise.blogspot.com/2018/11/in-uk-doctor-sacked-for-claiming-gender.html]
In a similar
development, trying to rein-in professional people from practicing what they
learnt about human anatomy and physiology at school, an article in the respected
journal, Pediatrics, is suggesting
that describing “breastfeeding” as “natural” is “offensive,” “unethical,”
and most certainly a “hate speech” towards transgender women, who of
course cannot breastfeed anybody! “Coupling
nature with motherhood… can inadvertently support biologically deterministic
arguments about the roles of men and women in the family (for example, that
women should be the primary caretaker),” the study says. https://neonnettle.com/news/4556-describing-breastfeeding-as-natural-declared-hate-speech-towards-transgender. The ultimate goal seems to be making
it a “punishable offense for doctors, government employees, or other medical
professionals to describe breastfeeding as natural ….
in the same way as misgendering a person” – the very crime said to be committed
by Dr. David Mackereth!
