A senior British Army officer has been forced to quit after being criticised for repeating the view that “men cannot be women”.
Colonel Dr Kelvin Wright, 54, had been a Reservist commanding officer with 14 years of unblemished service, including two tours in Afghanistan, before his honour was attacked with a “transphobia” complaint and an investigation he described as “hellish”.
In May, he shared a post on his private Facebook account from Fair Play for Women, a campaign group that works with governing bodies to preserve women’s sports for those born female, which consisted of a quote from Helen Joyce, a feminist campaigner backed by the author JK Rowling.
According to the Telegraph, the quote shared without any additional comment said: ‘If women cannot stand in a public place and say, ‘men cannot be women’, then we do not have women’s rights at all.’ This means Colonel Wright has been forced out of the British Army because it is the policy of the Ministry of Defence, that ‘trans-women’ (men, in other words) are women.
As the Bible states,
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The Prophet Isaiah would be scathing about those who think they know better than their maker:
Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! … Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
Defence Secretary responds
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace MP has said it was “rubbish and untrue” to suggest Dr Wright had been forced out and the investigation had “nothing to do with his views”.
‘Col Dr Wright was NOT forced out of the Army. His views are NOT contrary to Army policy’, he Tweeted.
‘Col Wright’s administrative investigation stemmed from Army social media policy and had nothing to do with his views. He was encouraged to stay.’
Emails to Dr Wright, seen by the Telegragh, show the investigating officer in his case referred specifically to the transgender policy.
On examination, ‘Ministry of Defence (MOD) Policy is completely pro-trans and accepts the validity of no other view whatsoever.
It is called JSP 889 ‘Policy for the Recruitment and Management of Transgender Personnel in the Armed Forces.’ It adopts all the language of trans activists and even recommends their groups with not a balancing word. Read it for yourself here and do a Ctrl-F search in it for the words ‘women’ and ‘affirmed’.
Mr. Wallace has been very badly advised to claim Col Dr Wright’s “views are NOT contrary to Army policy.” They plainly are. And MOD policy is His Majesty’s Government policy.
Government’s double standards
In contrast to the dithering HMG, UK Athletics (UKA) placed a ban on transgender athletes from competing in the female category across all its events.
The decision came two months after UKA claimed that it wanted to implement a ban, to protect the female category, but feared it would be too “risky” to do so unless the government changed the law.
The rule, which came after World Athletics announced a ban at the international level, became active for all UKA-licensed events from midnight on 31 March 2023.
In a statement, UKA said it believed that it “is fair for athletes who have gone through male puberty to be excluded from the female category in athletics” but that “athletics should remain an inclusive sport”.
Leaders stuck with the definition of a woman
Labour opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer couldn’t define a ‘woman’. And now, nor can His Majesty’s Government. The Conservatives have been in office for thirteen years.
Further, Labour’s frontbenchers in the past have also been unable to define what a woman is, with one saying the issue is a “rabbit hole”.
Yvette Cooper and Anneliese Dodds, two of Labour’s frontbench MPs, both declined to give a definition of a woman on International Women’s Day earlier this year.
For reference purposes, here is the Bible’s definition of a woman,
Genesis 2:22-23 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man…And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
Meanwhile, when David Cameron became Prime Minister in 2010 the Gender Recognition Act 2004 was six years old. Nevertheless, trans ideology has only really got going on their watch.
The Bible says,
Prov 16:12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.

The sex education transparency bill
Recently, a school identified as Rye College is still under investigation by the Department for Education (DfE) over an identity row. This comes as a teacher called a pupil’s views despicable during an argument over another allegedly identifying as a cat.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak even said he was deeply concerned about the content of sex education being taught to some pupils.
In March 2023, Mr Sunak pledged to put forward a review of statutory guidance on Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), in light of the “safeguarding scandal” of inappropriate materials being used in schools.
Therefore, it is conflicting to see that so much energy is put into ensuring children’s identities, as well as women’s rights, are protected, and gender clinics shut down, whilst, on the other hand, a member of the British Army cannot have an opinion nor stand by what he believes.
The Bible says,
Prov 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.
Not to be swept under the carpet
Under the Tories’ implementation of gender-neutral toilets in schools, there have been reports of incidents where girls have been assaulted by a boy in a school in Essex. Additionally, the party has drafted sex education guidance allowing children to ‘transition’ if their parents can be persuaded to agree. Further, they now preside over teenage girls with mental and emotional problems deciding in droves they are really boys.
It is they who have allowed the child abuse of puberty blockers and mutilatory double mastectomies for vulnerable young girls at the age of sixteen, which so many are now bitterly regretting and accusing the adults who advised them of failing in their duty to safeguard them.
It is the Conservatives who allow sex educators to indoctrinate children with lies that parents are not even allowed to see.
Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! … Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou?
Created male or female
At the moment, anyone can apply to be recognised as the opposite sex from the one he or she was born as. Under the Gender Recognition Act 2004 contents , all they need is an opinion from two doctors, one an expert in ‘gender dysphoria’.
Logically, the government should be offering help to such people to come to terms with their real gender. Rather, the UK Government has made it even easier for emotionally-challenged individuals to declare they have changed sex.
The Bible says,
Lev 26:21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
Also, the Bible says,
Psalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.
Unless His Majesty’s Government repent and turn back to God, that is where our nation is headed.
Read and Pray

What the Bible says won’t cut much ice with those who do not believe the Bible.
Plus ca change!
Psalm 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 119:126 It is time for thee, LORD, to work: for they have made void thy law.
But Christians need to realise that God’s word is truth and relevant in our day!
I have said over and over again that the UK church should be, and should have been for decades, preaching six days of creation as a literal truth, and rebutting the hoax of billions of years evolution. Had the UK church done this, it would have got the message out and people would have heard we were created male and female.
This would have given Christians confidence to know and believe in the truth of Genesis, six days of creation, allowing them then to rebut the lies now being promoted that a person can ‘identify’ as whatever they feel like.
The fact is the UK church has been much happier preaching anything other than the six days account and has abandoned it. The result is the disaster that we are living through now.
We must get back to six day, true Genesis 1 teaching – tell your church leader you want to hear this now.
I agree. Romans chapter 1 teaches this. When people reject God as Creator, they become futile in their thoughts, their foolish hearts are darkened, and professing to be wise, they become fools. God gives them over to uncleanness, vile passions, going against nature and doing what is shameful.
God aldo gives them over to a debased mind and says that they and those who support them will receive their just punishment.
Ben Wallace has also sent depleted uranium shells to Ukraine. These shells not only cause more death, but also cancer, birth defects and ground contamination for decades to come, as happened in Iraq and Serbia.
The Ukrainian military would have used this heinous weapon against the civilian population of the Donbass, who are ethnically Russian, just as they have used cluster ammunition against these people for 9 years.
However, it is possible that Russia found out where the DU shells were stored and destroyed them.
But this shows the moral and spiritual state of Ben Wallace.
He was one of the people being considered for NATO chief, but Biden vetoed him.
Thanks for that comment. This war must end now.
Thanks for highlighting the depleted uranium issue. I was horrified to learn about this, How evil is this government. There will be a high price to pay for these continuous acts of defiance to our holy God. It is no coincidence that a government that is happy to send depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine is also not bothered when a senior officer is dismissed for upholding basic science and happily pushes ahead with more mass abortion and trans mutilation of young people.
