Earlier this year in the UK, there was an employment tribunal which was brought by a nurse who had worked for the NHS (National Health Service) for 30 years. She had refused to share a women’s changing room with a transgender colleague at Victoria Hospital, in Kirkcaldy, Scotland, and because of this, she had been suspended from work at the beginning of 2024.
The nurse claimed her experiences amounted to harassment. She took legal action against the health board and the transgender doctor, citing the Equality Act 2010.
Scotland’s first minister John Swinney said the tribunal ruling in “this complex case” was important and that his government would look at the “general issues to be learned”.
Mr Swinney told BBC News: “It is important to take time to consider the judgment, that is the role of NHS Fife to do so, and of course the Scottish government will consider any issues that arise out of the judgement for the taking forward of public policy in this area.”
In short, it was about access to a single sex space, and who has the right to occupy it.
The problem was that a man self-identified as a woman.
However, the Supreme Court of the UK had handed down its ruling on the definition of sex in the equality law – stating it meant biological sex.
It was only a complex case because the Bible was not used as a source of wisdom; but then again, it rarely is. We have covered the transgender issue in our Q&A’s and other material previously.
It is easy to see that ignoring and thumbing their nose at the Creator and His Way, mere man who thinks he knows so much, can by his supposed intellect and understanding come to astoundingly stupid situations and outcomes.
After the ruling in her favor, the nurse said that “I am beyond relieved and delighted that the tribunal has found that my employer Fife Health Board harassed me after I complained about having to share a female-only changing room with a male colleague.”
Allowing people, even children, to identify as to what they are, doesn’t change the fact that they are still what they were born as. You can call a pig a dog but it is still a pig!
Wikipedia writes: “Gender self-identification or gender self-determination is the concept that a person’s legal sex or gender is determined by their gender identity, without medical or judicial requirements.
“It is a major goal of the transgender rights movement. Advocates argue that medical requirements for gender recognition are intrusive and humiliating forms of gatekeeping that can pressure transgender individuals into undergoing unwanted medical procedures. They also claim that self-identification simplifies the process of transgender people living without prejudice and discrimination.”
There was the case where Katharine Birbalsingh, the headteacher of Michaela Community School, was telling the Daily Telegraph that she knew of a school where a pupil identified as “a gay male hologram” and a private school where “a bunch of girls identify as cats.”
This is the sort of idiocy that can happen when godless educationalists take over.
The number of hours that the nurse’s case took over a period of time, the number of people involved and the cost of it all, showed the sheer stupidity of man. The young male doctor was allowed to self-identify as a woman even though he was, biologically, a man.
Had God’s Way prevailed in the first place, no one would have been allowed to self-identify as anything other than what they were born as. There are only two biological sexes, not umpteen definitions that have come out of the depraved mind of man. And all the waste of time and money on this tribunal would have been unnecessary.
But will people listen to the Way that God has set before us? It appears that matters have become so bad that God is going to have to reverse all of these, and so many other wrongs, by getting the attention of mankind through the Great Tribulation and the Day of the Lord. And even throughout these horrors, there will still be some who will blaspheme God (see Revelation 16:9, 11, 21).
Better times are ahead when Jesus Christ will have returned and set up the Kingdom of God on earth, and only His own righteous Way will prevail for the good and welfare for everyone.
We should continually pray, as we are instructed, for God’s Kingdom to come!
