| Subject: Dr David Mackereth: Trans pronouns 'denial of obvious truth' Thu Jul 11, 2019 6:43 pm | |
| A doctor who alleges he was sacked because of his Christian beliefs has told a tribunal using trans pronouns is "a ritual denial of an obvious truth".
Dr David Mackereth, of Dudley, says the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) discriminated against him for refusing to use other people's chosen pronouns.
He was suspended as a disability claims assessor in June 2018.
His tribunal heard he lost his job after saying he would not refer to "any 6ft tall bearded man" as "madam".
The 56-year-old recounted a conversation with a manager at an assessment centre, shortly after being appointed, where he was asked if he would address the man as "she" and "Mrs".
