This is really sad. The persecution of Christians continues.

Why was she/he working there anyway ? Smells like a stunt to me.

Sounds more like the Christian persecution of Trans people.

Hope she hires a good lawyer

No it doesn't. Just because people don't always want to play along with their delusions doesn't mean that we want them persecuted.

Two things got her in trouble. One was pronouns and the other a refusal to follow hospital procedures.

As to pronouns, I don't recall any scripture addressing this issue and it is common curtesy to call someone what they wish to be called. Would it be OK for her to refuse to call a Black man "Mr." if her religion said we wasn't fully human? Would she call someone who said his name was "Dick" "Richard" since she was offended by dick ?

Personally I wouldn't want a PA to make her own medical judgements that go against standard medical practice. I would not be offended if she said "as a Christian, I don't agree with this but here is what I've been told".

Their reality ends where mine begins. I don't owe anybody anything when it comes to being social, least of all some entitled toxic weirdo.

To me it's considered common courtesy not to force me to go along with the delusions of the mentally ill.

Then why do you go to church?

Trans people need to see a shrink

Humoring their delusions is not the answer

But the nurse is just an employee and has to conform to what the hospital wants

They do see shrinks, when will people have to see shrinks for that annoying voice in yer head you claim is a superior invisible being?

I personally would have resigned before they would have gotten a chance to fire me.

You can't work hard enough to obtain the position in the first place.

 

[Moonglow]

I never like the pronoun master which is abbreviated Mr. and Ma'am

I’m glad I have that voice

If I had listened to it more often I’d be much better off today

So if a woman you're talking to at a party asks if you like her dress, you always tell her the unblemished truth? You single?

 

[alang1216]

Trans people need to see a shrink

Everybody should see a shrink.

Humoring their delusions is not the answer

Treating people with compassion and respect is the answer.

Agreed.

 

[Mac-7]

Treating people with compassion and respect is the answer.

No, pandering to their delusions only encourages others who are teetering on the edge

And thanks to libs men are wandering around in the female restrooms

Plus injuring them in sports

I guess that is the difference between the Left and the Right, empathy vs ideology.

And thanks to libs men are wandering around in the female restrooms

I'm not sure how big an issue this really is. Except to you of course.

Plus injuring them in sports

I would let each sport decide for themselves how they handle it. If they decide to ban Trans people and can state a valid reason, then I have no problem with it.

liar, your praise for the bigot speaks otherwise surly the trial is of no interest for you.
