This part is where I disagree with the doctor. It's one thing to have a stance on an issue; it's entirely different to lack the compassion to treat an individual with respect. It doesn't take a whole lot to refer to someone like they want to be referred to. Compelled speech is a different matter, in my opinion.

That said, I think I'd find somewhere else to work if I were him. The situation was handled poorly (even though he was being a bit of a dick).
