UK Doctor Fired For Refusing Trans Pronouns Fights On: ’Christians Have to Stand Up’
A doctor in the U.K. who said he was fired five years ago for refusing to use a hypothetical patient’s preferred pronouns is continuing his battle to overturn his dismissal. Dr. David Mackereth, a physician with the U.K.’s Department for Work and Pensions, said there was “no living or real patient involved“ when he stated his sincerely-held views on gender.
“I was just asked ... if a six-foot tall bearded man came in and said, ’Refer to me as ’misses’ or ’she,’ would you do it?’“ Mackereth said. “And I had to say, ’As a Christian, in good conscience, I cannot do that.“ The doctor said he knew there would be a cost for openly sharing his perspective, but felt he had to stand by his Christian beliefs regardless. Within weeks, Mackereth was dismissed from his position.
“This was five years ago but ... things have been moving very, very slowly since then,“ he said. “It seems very hard to get justice in a case of this sort.“ Mackereth believes the decision to terminate him was wrong and he’s continuing his legal battle to overturn it, noting the government failed, in his view, to honor his religious beliefs.
“The government ... made it absolutely clear that I was to use pronouns in a way that nobody had ever told me I had to use them before,“ he said. “And that there would be consequences if I didn’t use them like that.“ But Mackereth said it would have been an “absolute lie to use transgender pronouns,“ thus he accepted the penalty for his purported refusal to bend to their whims. At first, the decision was scary, as it left the doctor uncertain how he would care for his family.
Watch him tell is story and detail his legal battle.
