Anugrah Kumar<\/a> – March 28, 2022<\/p>\n

A Christian doctor who lost his job for refusing to use trans pronouns will appear before a tribunal in the United Kingdom this week to challenge a ruling that held that biblical beliefs on gender are \u201cincompatible with human dignity\u201d and not \u201cworthy of respect in a democratic society.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. David Mackereth, a physician who in July\u00a02018 was forced out of his job<\/a> in the Department of Work and Pensions, will challenge the ruling at the Employment Appeal Tribunal in London on Tuesday and Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He is represented by the Christian Legal Centre.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy case affects everyone, not just me and Bible-believing Christians, but anyone who is concerned by compelled speech and transgender ideology being enforced on the NHS and other public services,\u201d Mackereth said in a statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe judgment from two years ago said to Christians, \u2018you have to believe in transgender ideology.\u2019 That is totalitarianism. It made out Christianity to be nothing, the Bible to be nothing. That cannot be allowed to stand.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case comes about a week after British Prime Minister Boris Johnson told members of Parliament that \u201cwhen it comes to distinguishing between a man and a woman, the basic facts of biology remain overwhelmingly important.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the two-day hearing, lawyers are expected to cite Maya Forstater\u2019s tribunal victory<\/a> last June, maintaining that an earlier decision against her \u201cerred in law.\u201d Forstater served as a senior researcher at a think tank in London and was fired<\/a> in 2019 for tweeting that \u201cmen cannot change into women.\u201d She criticized the decision to house a trans-identified biological male in a woman\u2019s prison.<\/p>\n
