Has this come up where you’ve actually acted in real life on this principal?
Or are you just in theory approving of this?

If someone says “I’m a woman please

If your job requires you to mark peoples gender by how they identify, again what’s that to you?

The 55-year-old father of four believes sex is genetic and biological, so established at birth.

Clinics or hospitals?

You can think you’re the King of England.
But I’m not going to call you your highness.

Company regs do not equal law. Granted, this is the UK who has shite on the concept of civil rights lately but anytime the government engages in compelled speech, it's a problem.

So you'd be okay with an entity like FBI having a "Muslims need not apply" policy? Or better yet, the IRS compelling all atheist and Muslim employees to say the Our Father every morning at the outset of work?

The idea that we can just identify as whatever we please and expect society to capitulate to those identities is ludicrous and is currently a path we are walking down.
It’s ludicrous just to be nice to people?

quote:In the States, agreed. In the UK, who knows?quote:I see no faulty logic here.
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.”
This whole idea that one commits some sort of illegal discrimination by refusing to torture the English language with non-existent words ... it is utter nonsense. If you are not denying equal protection of the law, word-choice is a matter of free speech.

No it isn't. I don't live in the UK, and have no desire to tell them how to run their own country. I don't like it when they try that with us, so why would I do that with them.
You do know that this happened in the UK, right?

Nope, but law equals law. Give that article another read.

The FBI is an agency in the US, not the UK.

His job is a doctor. Science is what doctors do.
Battling over pronouns is what twits do.

A DWP spokeswoman said the Equality Act states that it is unlawful to discriminate directly or indirectly against a person on grounds of a “protected characteristic”, such as gender reassignment.

Their sex is indisputable. Even if he agreed with their cause, you can’t ask a baby how xe identifies.

This point is still ignorant. It doesn't get better with repetition.

the bigger question is probably what government is in charge of the place where said hospital or clinic is located.

The far left is so anti science it’s funny.

Yes, I noted such in my post. I can hold a principled stance that applies to governments outside the US. I also take issue with policy in Venezuela and Saudi Arabia.
