Dear Sir,
Dr David Mackereth has been discriminated against and denied a
job with
the
Department of Work and Pensions because
of his Christian belief that God made mankind male and female. Dr Mackereth believed
he should not be compelled to use a preferred
specific pronoun to address a transgender
patient. I fully agree. Religious belief is also
a protected characteristic under the Equality
Act 2010, but evidently some protected characteristics are more protected than others.
