He holds the controversial opinion that you can tell a boy from a girl when they're born.

Dr 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.”


I see no faulty logic here.

A doctor has been “sacked” as a medical assessor for a government department after refusing to renounce his Christian belief that gender is determined at birth, the Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

That’s a man being persecuted for his beliefs and has a better case for asylum into the US than Jose fleeing from socialism.

Well, if said baby has an innie they are a girl.


If said baby has an outie, they are a boy.


This isn't complicated people.

I think birth is a good compromise on determining gender. It's halfway between a sonogram and a gender reveal party.

He needs a job in America.

UK police would probably stand outside his home like this though

Dr David Mackereth has worked for 26 years as an NHS doctor but was told he could not be employed as a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) disability assessor if he refused to identify patients as being of a sex that they did not see themselves as.


So he refused to do his job according to his employers guidelines.

You can have a belief all you want but you also have to do your job.

Poor poor Christians.
