A team of medical professionals and regulators has come alongside a Christian doctor who said a 6-footer with a beard isn't likely a "she," and wouldn't be addressed as such.
The opinion comes from the United Kingdom's General Medical Council in the case involving Dr. David Mackereth, who was dismissed from his government position as a disability assessor for the Department of Work and Pensions, according to a report from Decision Magazine.
His manager had ordered him to address a "man 6 feet tall with a beard who says he wants to be addressed as 'she' and 'Mrs,'" that way.
Mackereth said he could not in good conscience identify clients with incorrect labels.
But the medical board now has found that there was no need to restrict Mackereth's medical registration.
The views "might be considered contentious," the GMC concluded, but, "we haven't seen evidence to suggest that patient safety is at risk from the information provided nor that your fitness to practice is impaired."
The decision does not overturn his dismissal, yet.
There is a separate court path he is using to seek for that to be corrected, and it now is at the European Court of Human Rights.
The Christian Legal Center, representing Mackereth, said it hopes to use the GMC's recommendation when the case is argued.
The Decision report explained the GMC decision "vindicated" Mackereth's decision that he could not in good conscience identify clients by their chosen gender identity rather than their biological sex.
He had told supervisors, "I am a Christian and in good conscience cannot do what the DWP is requiring of me."
He said his employers then discriminated against him due to his Christian beliefs, and charged his rights to freedom of conscience, thought and religion had been violated.

A local employment tribunal adopted the LGBT agenda and ruled against him, claiming not believing in transgenderism was 'incompatible" with "human dignity."
It was recently reported that his appeal to the ECHR was moving forward.
IMPORTANT NOTE: “Election denier!” “Science denier!” “Climate-change denier!” “Conspiracy theorist!” And then there’s “hate speech,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” even something called “MALinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the SOLE PURPOSE of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, CENSOR ENTIRELY – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. Tucker Carlson is just the latest.
In the greatest imaginable irony, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press – undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights – is now ground zero for a total war on free expression.
How could this possibly happen in the United States of America? It’s all explained as never before in the sensational new issue of WND’s critically acclaimed WHISTLEBLOWER magazine, titled “THE ELITES’ ALL-OUT WAR ON FREE SPEECH.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
