A Christian teacher in Nottinghamshire was dismissed for refusing to acknowledge a trans pupil's chosen name and pronouns, citing religious beliefs. After being suspended for accessing the pupil's safeguarding report, she lost her unfair dismissal and discrimination case. The headteacher emphasized the need for compliance with GDPR and respect for parental wishes. Despite her convictions rooted in biblical belief, the school maintained that she could not act on them, highlighting the tension between personal beliefs and professional responsibilities.
I am concerned that I am required to give 'affirmative care' to somebody who may regret it later, which could lead to irreversible physical and mental harm.
You are entitled to hold your own personal beliefs and we fully support you in your right to hold those beliefs, however, as those beliefs if acted on could be a direct breach of GDPR.
I believe in 'the truth of the Bible' and that 'sex is a God-given reality which should not be conflated with 'gender identity'.'
