UK doctor loses government job due to belief that gender is assigned at birth
Dr David Mackereth

Dr David Mackereth has been told he will not be employed as a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) disability assessor because he believes gender is something that we are born with. To him that is a crucial point due to his religious beliefs. To those who don't believe in God but believe in science that point seems quite self-evident too. But apparently today in the UK if you believe that you may not be employed as a medical professional in the government service for fear you might misgender a patient. And that is clearly unacceptable risk.

Government drops doctor who says gender given at birth
Steve Bird, The Telegraph, 8 July 2018
its more than just misgendering, that happens all the time from doctors unfortunately. The problem is the denial of basic medical facts and instead choosing religion.
In this particular case, the view dictated by traditional religion (Christianity) happens to be in line with the scientific facts, whereas the view dictated by a neo-Pagan religion (that of political correctness) runs counter to it. There are (save for a tiny number of exceptions not even amounting to 0.1%) only two genders: male (XY) and female (XX). We can not change that any more than we could learn to fly or breathe under water.
lmao thats not how it works at all. "biological sex" is a social construct lmao. Stop spreading your delusional beliefs.
if we ignore gender-fluid people, we can actually just say gender is static. That does not mean it has to line up with chromosomes, and that "0.1%" chance is a BS statistic. There are many different ways that can happen, and they add up to much more than that. Fuck off asshole. Spread your bigotry somewhere else
