Patients at an NHS trust are being asked to choose what gender identity they are from a list of options, according to the Telegraph.
The options include, ‘Demiboy’, ‘Genderfluid’ and ‘Questioning’.
The form, administered by the Royal Brompton, which is run by Guy’s and St. Thomas’s NHS Trust, has over 10 options for patients to select from.
From a drop-down menu, patients are invited to choose from: ‘Agender, Another gender not listed here, Choose not to disclose, Demiboy, Demigirl, Female, Gender fluid, Male, Non-binary, Other, Questioning, Transgender male or Transgender female.’
NHS is pro-trans: The Equality Act allowed King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to paint this ‘Progress Pride’ abomination on a walkway at their Princess Royal Hospital, Orpington.
It is utterly absurd that the NHS Trust would dedicate so much time to consider different genders in their online forms in the name of ‘inclusion’, rather than invest the same energy to figure out how to clear the backlog of appointments.
The Bible says a lot about misplaced priorities, much of it about the wisdom of putting God first rather than man. For example: Prov 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Meanwhile, in October, Health Education England officials were ordered to scrap an NHS training manual that told staff to declare their pronouns to patients.
Steve Barclay, the then health secretary, said the materials were symptomatic of the ‘ideological dogma’ pervading the health service. Because Health Education England is ‘a non-departmental public body accountable to the Secretary of State’, he had his way. But NHS Trusts, on the other hand, are self-governing and not accountable to the Government. As the Nuffield Trust says (on page 10): ‘Foundation trusts are
genuinely independent and not subject to ministerial direction’.
Professor Karol Sikora, the oncologist who received the form from the Royal Brompton, told the Telegraph he was asked to decide his identity after a small operation six weeks ago.
The procedure ‘had nothing to do with my sexual orientation. It is not my goolies that were operated on,’ he said.
‘They sent me a follow-up for an appointment in the clinic and with it came a form, which I had to fill in online. As predominantly older people are the ones who go to outpatient clinics, little old ladies in Clacton are getting that to fill in. It’s ridiculous that we’re spending money on this.’
Professor Sikora said he feared the form is being sent out across other hospitals and was concerned that it would be ‘mainly elderly Brits given this sort of stuff that only applies to a tiny minority.’
Guy’s and St Thomas’ has defended itself as expected.
The spokesperson said: ‘As part of providing personalised care to our patients, we give them the opportunity to provide us with a range of personal information, including gender identity.
‘Patients have the option not to disclose this information if they prefer.’
Of course they do, but they should not be asked such intrusive, insulting, unbliblical nonsense in the first place.
The absurdity of men using tampons
A Finnish company called Vuokkoset has released a new sanitary (tampon) product for men. In the company’s attempt to promote gender propaganda, they claim that ‘periods are not a gender issue’.
The sanitary product was launched earlier this month to coincide with ‘Transgender’ Awareness week and ‘International Men’s Day’. These days, that includes women pretending to be men.
The tampon comes in a dark blue box which bears the words ‘For Men’ on one side, but then extends this phrase around the packaging so it eventually reads ‘For Menstruation.’
Biologically and logically speaking, tampon and men should never be used in the same sentence. Moreover, it is Biblically clear that men cannot be women, and vice versa, regardless of the amount of mutilation they have undergone.
We must pray that this absurdity stays in Finland, that the product bombs there and the company goes bust..
Menstruating while undergoing ‘hormone therapy’
No, this is not a man in the tampon ad. This is a woman pretending to be a man.
It is common sense to know that it is women who experience menstruation, as long as they have not hit menopause or are pregnant. Therefore, the idea of a sanitary product for a man is preposterous.
Vuokkoset, the owners of the sanitary brand, even confirms this by saying females who go through mutilation to become men might continue to experience menstrual cycles even while undergoing hormone treatment to change gender or may choose not to have such therapy at all and so will still have periods.
They added that studies show that 93 percent of mutilated women (‘trans-men’) have experienced menstrual-related gender dysphoria, a sense of unease a person may have because of a mismatch between what they think they are and their actual sex as discerned by the midwife at birth.
Periods do not define womanhood?
Dakota Robin’s facial hair is the result of taking the male hormone testosterone.
It is the highest form of disregard for women to be told that going through periods does not define womanhood. Despite the wokeness of some NHS Trusts, the central NHS defines period as ‘the part of the menstrual cycle when a woman bleeds from her vagina for a few days’. Men do not have periods.
The face of the “For Men” tampons advertising campaign is Dakota Robin. She is a Finnish woman who says she’s a man. She has grown facial hair as a result of taking testosterone hormones. She also claims to be a ‘human rights activist’. In other words, she is campaigning for assumed ‘trans rights’.
Miss Robin ventured: ‘By changing attitudes and broadening perspectives, we can also stamp out discrimination against gender minorities. The least anyone can do is to understand that periods do not define womanhood and understand the diversity behind them.’
The Bible says: Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female.
Like the Pharisees our Lord challenged, Dakota Robin has not read.

Pray that this absurdity in Finland does not reach anywhere else. Pray the product bombs and that the Lord’s judgement falls on those who scorn his laws and upholds those who follow his ways.

Equalities minister Kemi Badenoch has briefed the press on the release of the government’s ‘Transgender Guidance’ for schools.
According to the Mail, the long overdue ‘transgender’ guidance will introduce a presumption against young people altering their names, pronouns, and uniforms within classroom settings.
The guidance for head teachers is due to be published before Christmas. It will make it clear that sports teams, changing rooms and lavatories must be single-sex. A boy who opts to identify as a girl will not be able to enter the girls’ facilities or play in a girls’ team.
The Government’s introduction of this guidance is a positive step forward. Nonetheless, a notable concern arises with the anticipated guidelines. Under the new restrictions, pupils would have the ability to identify as the opposite gender in extremely restricted circumstances, subject to parental consent.
The guidance looks very much like a compromise between the anti-trans (up to a point) Equalities Minister Kemi Badenoch and the more pro-trans Education Secretary Gillian Keegan.
In a statement, Kemi Badenoch said: ‘ The guidance will also ensure that parents are informed if their children tell staff they want to change their gender identity because many schools are keeping them in the dark.’
The Biblical position is that parental consent on the issue of gender should not be on the table in the first place. It should be made clear that social transitioning is not the answer to children or adolescent going through puberty or experiencing emotional challenges. We are the sex we are born.
The Bible says, Isaiah 45:9-10 Woe to him who strives with his Maker!… Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’
So many regrets are now emerging from teenagers who went through ‘gender-reassignment surgery, thinking a vain attempt to change their gender would solve all their problems. A girl referred to a transgender clinic said she felt like a “mutilated experiment gone wrong,” after undergoing a double mastectomy.
Meanwhile, some of these children did not live to tell the story. A 16-year-old boy who had “vaginoplasty” surgery in a vain attempt to “change his gender” died from an infection, according to Dutch researchers. Logically, this mutilation is neither necessary nor godly. It is a perversion of medicine.
Further, a heartbroken father took legal action against the national health service(NHS) to protect his child and to stop surgeons from performing sex-change surgery on his “vulnerable” autistic son.
Children should be allowed to go through normal stages of growth without medical intervention that will ruin their lives completely. Those who are well do not need a physician.
The Government and the entire Equalities team ought to make this guidance crystal clear. Telling schools that children cannot change sex, but can make decisions ‘on their gender identity’, whilst correctly applying the Equality Act and the Gender Recognition Act is utterly confusing.
Also, the statement added that schools must also abide by the rules of ‘Gillick competence’, which state whether a child is old enough to consent to medical treatment.
What happened to putting an end to this gender propaganda once and for all, and let children focus on education? What happened to Rishi Sunak’s statement at his party conference that a man cannot be a woman? We are still in the Politics of Absurdity.
The Bible says, Mark 9:42 And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
Common sense guidance
Executive director of the Sex Matters campaign group, Maya Forstater, said: ‘It is a relief that the long-awaited guidance is coming out and that it will rule out most aspects of social transition clearly.’
But she warned that the guidance will be confusing for schools, because it is not clear what is now meant by social transitioning. ‘It is time for common sense guidance,’ she said.
‘The Government should make clear to head teachers that every child is born male or female, and that this does not change however they feel or act and whatever clothes they wear or words they use about themselves.
‘Schools cannot meaningfully accommodate ‘social transition’ which means pretending that a boy is a girl or a girl is a boy, including by calling them ‘he’ or ‘she’ or applying different rules than to other girls or boys. It is not safe or fair on any of the children,’ she said.

Over 1,000 NHS staff have received invitations to attend what is called a three-day “diversity” conference that will feature conversations on pronouns and gender.
This event, taking place from October 3 to October 5, is being hosted by Bromley Healthcare, the primary contractor for community healthcare services in south-east London.
The conference agenda encompasses discussions on topics such as “pronouns, language, and LGBTQ+ allyship,” as well as “gender and LGBTQ+ sessions designed for colleagues working with children.”
It’s worth noting that this event is occurring despite the NHS facing significant backlogs in its healthcare services. According to the Telegraph, healthcare staff were told to complete “mandatory unconscious bias training”.
Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP, said: ‘This kind of ‘training’ is not only a complete waste of taxpayers’ money, it is also deeply divisive, spreading destructive ideas that the majority of the population rejects.
‘Unconscious bias’ training has been shown to be a worthless exercise and we should be deeply concerned that the NHS is encouraging its staff to talk to children in their care about sex and sexuality.
‘The Government should introduce a ban on all public sector training that does not directly relate to the activities for which staff are employed.’
Woke Ideology
Dame Priti Patel said: ‘The alarming rate at which woke ideology is powering through the ranks of the public sector and civil service is shocking.
‘Now we hear of mandatory lectures for health professionals whose focus should be on patient care and not pronouns.
‘The professionalism and impartiality of the machinery of the state is rightly under serious public scrutiny, so it’s about time the leadership at the top of government took responsibility and stopped the spread of such activities across the public sector.’
Over 120,000 individuals have lost their lives while awaiting NHS treatment, as the backlog reaches an unprecedented peak by July 2023, according to an analysis of health service data. High waits for treatment are not new.
Prior to the pandemic in February 2020, there were already 4.43 million people on a waiting list for care. Rather than focusing on reducing cues on the wait list, the NHS is investing in gender propaganda.
Further, Bromley Healthcare was found to require improvement in five out of six key areas of competence after its latest inspection by the independent regulator of the NHS in summer 2021.
The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC) report rated the contractor’s safety standards, effectiveness, responsiveness, and leadership as requiring improvement. Only its care provision received a rating of “good”.
Issues highlighted included a failure to make “basic criminal record checks” on non-executive directors, a “variation in [the] quality” of care provided by nursing and health visiting teams, and it found “patient experience feedback was limited”.

Schools In the United Kingdom are using “gender-neutral” uniform policies. These policies allow students to select their clothing based on their self-identified gender rather than being categorised as the way God created them (boys or girls).
Many schools are now using terms like “Uniform A” and “Uniform B” instead of traditional gender-specific labels.
Even primary schools have eliminated uniforms that are designated by gender, enabling children as young as four to wear clothing that aligns with the gender they choose to identify as.
According to the Daily Mail private schools, including Britain’s most expensive, Brighton College, plus Christian state primaries and secondaries and sixth form colleges nationwide have adopted gender policies.
In many cases, the words boy and girl are erased from uniform policy documents, replaced by “Uniform A” and “Uniform B.”
Children’s mental health is under threat due to the ongoing “Relationships and Sex Education” (RSE) propaganda in schools.
Retired head Chris McGovern, chairperson of the Campaign for Real Education, told the Mail: ‘Schools are adding to the mental health problems of children who, after going into school, no longer know what gender they belong to.
‘It’s time we had a government with the backbone to intervene.’
Even Christian state schools, based on Church of England teachings, are among those removing children’s gender from uniform policies.
Ellesmere Port Church of England College, in Cheshire, does not use the words boy or girl to “ensure all pupils feel part of the College’s community.”
Deut 11:19 And ye shall teach them (the laws of God) to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
The government has repeatedly delayed the release of its “school transgender guidance” following advice from its legal counselors, who said that it would violate the Equality Act 2010.
Rather than take actions, the Mr Rishi Sunak has sorted to using the phrase “extreme caution” and “taking more time to hear from experts”.
Earlier this year, education secretary Gillian Keegan, was asked by Sky News if she thought 16 was too young for people to change gender. Keegan replied, ‘No, I don’t, actually. I was working at 16, I was paying tax at 16, I was making decisions for myself at 16.’ Sunak dithers on issuing guidance to schools while keeping in post an education secretary who thinks changing gender is like getting a Saturday job.’
‘We have to be very sensitive to children. We are actually going to publish some guidance and consult because it is a very tricky area to get right,’ she said.
‘It has to be age appropriate, but children have to be supported as well.’
Parents take charge
The RSE propaganda in schools across the UK is a sign that parents should take charge of their children’s life and education. Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) propaganda is sold to children who have no business knowing about “trans” ideologies.
A few weeks ago, a parent in Hull decided that their child would not be part of this RSE propaganda, and withdrew their four-year-old from a pre-school over inappropriate images.
Meanwhile, the UK Home Office has adopted the “gender neutral” policy. Civil servants, particularly “nonbinary staff”, are given male and female security passes, allowing them to change their gender identity daily.
According to the Home Office’s “gender reassignment and gender identity” policy, “nonbinary” officials can present the gender which matches their identity on a daily basis.

Civil servants, particularly “nonbinary staff”, are given male and female security passes, allowing them to change their gender identity daily.
According to the Home Office’s “gender reassignment and gender identity” policy, “nonbinary” officials can present the gender which matches their identity on a daily basis.
The guidance, issued in 2010, updated in 2021, and described as “current policy”, says: ‘This includes practical considerations such as access to premises.
‘The department has introduced dual passes for staff that wish to attend work as more than one gender.’
Miriam Cates, the Conservative MP criticised the policy in an interview with the Telegraph.
Ms Cates said the nonbinary pass policy poses serious security and safeguarding risks.
She said: ‘A policy that enables someone working in what should be a secure environment to have a different identity on different days of the week is clearly open to abuse and is unworkable.
‘The obsession of some senior civil servants with pushing gender ideology in the workplace is very concerning’, she added.
The non-binary security pass policy has been condemned by both Miriam Cates and the director of advocacy at the gender-critical group Sex Matters Helen Joyce. Ms Joyce said the policy isn’t just a waste of time and taxpayers’ money, but also discriminatory towards the majority of perfectly sensible civil servants who don’t believe in this nonsense and just want to do their job.
‘These “diversity champion” roles are clearly being used to push contested beliefs about “gender identity” as something distinct from a person’s sex.
‘That’s got no basis in either UK law or biological reality. The Home Secretary needs to get a grip and tear these policies up.’
Almost every workplace in the UK has an Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) strategy as stipulated in the Equality Act 2010. Whilst legal frameworks vary across different countries, in the UK the Equality Act 2010 provides legal protection for nine protected characteristics such as age, disability, “gender reassignment”, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.
However, the EDI strategy is fast becoming an avenue where only those who identify with the “LGBTQ” community have a favourable working environment, and staff with opposing views are either fired or called “homophobic. The workplace is an environment where people work to earn a living, and not being weary of how to express beliefs and views.
The Bible says, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
According to the Telegraph, Steve Dann, Chief Operating Officer of Border Force, which is part of the Home Office, wrote a blog on the department’s intranet celebrating ‘Transgender Day of Visibility’, where he urged officials to use people’s “preferred pronouns”.
In the same blog, Jackie Armstrong, described as “Director of Operational Capabilities Command, Immigration Enforcement (IE). ”claimed to be a “straight ally” and the “IE LGBT+ champion”.
The Bible says, Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Parents in Hull have withdrawn their four-year-old daughter from pre-school over inappropriate content in Relationships and Sex Education.
The decision follows their discovery that the school was using a book entitled “Grandad’s Pride.” The pro-gay propaganda book carries illustrations of homosexual men wearing next to nothing and women posing as men who have undergone surgical mutilation.
The Mail reports that Will and Maria Taylor, of Hull, East Yorkshire, were horrified when they spotted ‘images of men who are partially naked in leather bondage gear’ in the pages of Grandad’s Pride.
Another image featured ‘trans-men’ (that is, women) with ‘top surgery’ scars from double-mastectomy, sparking a furious reaction from parents who say that it ‘encourages body modifications too early’.
However, the Biblical reaction to their reported comment is that such mutilation should not be allowed at all, at any age, in a civilised country, let alone one like the United Kingdom that is constitutionally Christian.
‘Inappropriate content’
‘Grandad’s Pride’ is the creation of author and illustrator Harry Woodgate – who ridiculously uses “they/them pronouns”.
When the serpent tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden, we read: Gen 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
Note, ‘she took’ not ‘they took’, ‘her husband’ not ‘their husband’ and ‘he did eat’ not ‘they did eat’. ‘They /them’ is the plural form, as we see in the very next verse: Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
Naturally, Waterstones gave Mr Woodgate an award for an earlier pro-gay book, ‘Grandad’s Camper’. He has also received an award from pro-trans lobby group Stonewall.
Meanwhile, trustees at Genesis Pre School agreed that the book had inappropriate content for children below four and have now apparently withdrawn it from their shelves. In an email seen by the BBC, the chair of trustees apologised to Mr Taylor and his family for the distress caused. However, staff at the pre-school initially defended the book which was marked as suitable for age four plus.
Naked pro-gay propaganda
Media coverage concentrated on the ‘age- inappropriate images’. Even papers like the Mail and Telegraph failed to voice concerns that ‘Grandad’s Pride’ constitutes unashamed pro-gay, pro-trans propaganda from start to finish.
There are images of posters saying ‘love is love’. (Next time someone says that to you, ask them if they are going to drink from the toilet pan. After all, ‘Water is water’.) The illustration above shows characters in the book holding up a banner calling for ‘Trans Rights Now’. The discussion between ‘Milly’ and ‘Grandad’ goes like this:
“What’s pride”, I ask. “Pride is like a giant party where we celebrate the wonderful diversity of our communities and share the message that everyone should be treated with equality and respect; no matter who they love or what gender they are”.
Having leaders, teachers, and trustees who believe children at any level deserve to be taught such a bunch of politically-correct, trite disinformation bordering on outright lies and appearing to be AI-generated poses a significant threat not just to their future but to our society as a whole. It is rebellion and a sin before God. It is simply not okay for those in charge to push pro-gay and pro-trans ideologies on children and hope their parents won’t notice.
Isa 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.
Publisher’s reaction
Publisher of the book Andersen Press defended its content after Genesis Pre-School in Hull decided to remove it from its shelves.
The publisher described critics’ concerns of ‘hidden messages’ in the book depicting a grandad wearing leathers for ‘Pride’ as ‘baseless, deeply offensive and homophobic.’ Furthermore, the company, along with author Harry Woodgate and the school, had all been subjected to ‘hate’ which probably translates as mild criticism.
Further, Mr Woodgate was seen in a recent video, following yet another book award, advocating for children of all ages regarding sodomy. In his words: ‘Who you are is valid, who you are should be celebrated. There are a whole community of people who are in your corner fighting for you.’
Let us pray the Lord will raise up a whole community of people standing up for children and fighting for their innocence and for righteousness. The Bible says, Psalm 11:3 If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?
Well, the righteous can support Christian Voice and join our prayer and action campaign against RSE, and for the Lord to raise up God-fearing leaders:
Since September 2020, ‘Relationships Education’ has been compulsory for all pupils receiving primary education and ‘Relationships and Sex Education’ (RSE) for all pupils receiving secondary education in the UK. RSE policy has encouraged the promotion of “pro-gay” propaganda in schools and classified children and parents whose views differs from the ideologies of the education elite as homophobic.
The Department for Education (DFE) emphasises that primary school subjects should incorporate the fundamental elements of healthy and respectful relationships, with an emphasis on family and friendships, across all settings.
The policy also says: ‘at secondary school, teaching builds on the knowledge acquired at primary and develops pupils’ understanding of health, with an increased focus on risk areas such as drugs and alcohol, as well as introducing knowledge about intimate relationships and sex and how to have positive and healthy sexual relationships.’ You might think such an approach would emphasise age-appropriate content and conversations. But the educational establishment and the third-party sex educators take a different view, and have little respect for ‘guidelines in the admittedly rare moments these disagree with their pre-conceptions.
Sex educators recognise that children’s minds are significantly shaped during their early developmental stages. So does the Bible:
Deut 11:19 And ye shall teach them (the laws of God) to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Let children be children
The concern shouldn’t solely rest on the exposure of children to age-inappropriate content through the “Grandad’s Pride” book. Its approval and presence within schools should never have been permitted from the start.
The Bible says, 1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
The sex educators know that principle too. Their plan is that when the children grow up, they will retain the godless, amoral values they were taught in school.
Social reaction
This book has not only sparked reactions from parents, but on social media platforms.
A user @JapanesePolar tweeted: “This is Granddad’s Pride, by Harry Woodgate. Marketed for 2-7yr olds. Spot the man in fetish gear; the young woman who has had her breasts removed; the girl holding the “love is love is love” flag – classic paedophilia grooming messaging. It’s really not ‘Be Kind’.”
Another user Ali Bee@OldWomanSinging wrote: “I don’t know if anyone caught this in the foul granddad’s pride book, but a ‘Gilbert’ is slang for a paedo and of course Gilbert loves chickens.
Jane, Empress of the Known Universe (but not a GP)@blablafishcakes wrote: “It gets worse. Look what else is smuggled into the illustrations of “Grandad’s Pride”. Two MAPs alongside the sign “Love is Love is Love”. If you know the code, you know… if you don’t: MAPs are Minor Attracted Persons and Love is Love is the covert little mantra of paedophiles.”

The UK government is set to face a lawsuit for allowing children as young as five be taught age- inappropriate topics in Relationships and Sex Education (RSE).
Equality/ Human Rights lawyer Dr Anna Loutfi, of the Bad Law Project and families of some of the children concerned (which is almost all of them!) have come together to file a class action lawsuit against the Department for Education of the UK government.
They are calling for Personal Social Health and Education (PSHE), which RSE comes under, to be abolished from schools and for parents to have the right to withdraw their children from lessons dealing with sex, health and relationships.
Speaking on GBNews, Dr Anna Loutfi said, ‘The problem is not teaching children in schools, but the issue is rogue actors posing as charities otherwise known as the third sector and these organisations are completely unregulated.
‘They produce the materials. Sometimes they are produced outside the national jurisdiction. For example, we found certain local education authorities using materials that have been taken from the United States of America, and there is no oversight on the content of these materials. Advocacy groups are picking their own ideas of what they think is okay for children to know. Parents are not allowed to be part of the discussion’, she said.
Watch the video here:
Dr Loutfi added that ‘Thanks to the third sector, we have lost control of regulation, in the same manner we would do if there had been a military coup, and we had a Junter taking control of the schools. We are not allowed to have conversations about what these materials are for.
‘ As a nation, we have lost any discernment of what age groups are suitable for certain kinds of materials. As a country and a society, we have to be discerning about what we embrace, encourage, and what we don’t.’
Unlawful to teach gender ideology and identity as fact
The Education Act 1996 is explicit that the promotion of any idea that is contentious is unlawful. By promotion, the statute maintains that contentions ideas cannot be presented as if it is the only version available in that area. It has to be a dispassionate, fair, and non-partisan presentation of the fact.
Even Section 56 (sub 403) of the Education Act 1996 states that the Secretary of State must issue guidance designed to secure that when sex education is given to registered pupils at maintained schools—
(a) they learn the nature of marriage and its importance for family life and the bringing up of children, and
(b) they are protected from teaching and materials which are inappropriate having regard to the age and the religious and cultural background of the pupils concerned.
The question is, why is this part of the law ignored by sex educators?
The Bible stresses the importance of doing things God’s way and avoiding the unruly: Proverbs 28:7 Whoso keepeth the law is a wise son: but he that is a companion of riotous men shameth his father.
And here is some of what the Bible teaches about the purpose of education: Deuteronomy 6:7 And thou shalt teach them (God’s laws) diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Section 56/404 of the Education Act 1996 says that schools cannot keep parents from knowing about the sex education being taught to their children.
The statute says that schools should make, and keep up to date, a separate written statement of the schools’ policy with regard to the provision of sex education, and (b)make copies of the statement available for inspection (at all reasonable times) by parents of registered pupils at the school and provide a copy of the statement free of charge to any such parent who asks for one.
And yet a mother lost her case in court when she demanded a school share sex education materials, taught to her daughter, brought in by a publicly-funded third sector body with charitable status.
Under Freedom of Information laws, Clare Page requested that the lesson plan, accompanying slides, and the names of the facilitators be released after her daughter was taught that hetero-normativity was a ‘bad thing’, and that she should be ‘sex positive’ in her relationships.
The School of Sexuality Education, which hosted the class at Hatcham College, a state school in New Cross, Southeast London, refused to release the information which led to Mrs Page making legal action. But a judge said she had no right to see them.
Stonewall and Mermaids, both promoters of sodomy and transgenderism, have been especially blamed for their propaganda in schools. Dr Loutfi described them as two main actors among other charities pushing gender ideology in schools. She questioned why the UK government consults these two organisations and not other bodies with different views.
‘Why have these charities redesigned the law according to their fantasy to saying “gender reassignment” can be with any age, and anyone who goes against this, is a bigot, as against what the law says which is 18?
‘This is contrary to the Equality Act 2010, which has a list of protected characteristics on the basis of non-discrimination, one of which is “gender reassignment” (GRA 2004)’. It permits only people who are 18 and above to make this decision.’
The lawyer added that we live in a society driven by the repetition of slogans and mantras. Even government ministers and lawyers are disregarding the letter of the law and going with mantras seen on social media. However, the Department of Education should be held accountable for neglecting to address this issue which has resulted in so many young people self-harming, socially transitioning, and sometimes “medically transitioning”.
According to the sense of the Bible, it is not okay to permit “gender reassignment” at any age, let alone for children. Those who support prescribing damaging hormones to children are well described in Scripture: Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
In previous articles, Christian Voice has asserted that emotions and wants during puberty are not connected to what activists refer to as “gender identity and dysphoria.” What matters is good parenting with the help of God, being watchful and discerning when something is wrong, and getting the right help without brainwashing the child with unhealthy ideologies.
In the Gospel, our Lord took it as understood that a physician would be nowhere near adolescent boys and girls with absolutely nothing wrong with them: Matt 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Just what was physically wrong with Jasmine that caused a wicked surgeon to remove her perfectly healthy breasts? The answer is ‘nothing at all’. She was just growing up:
The government has delayed publishing its “transgender guidance for schools” after its legal advisors concluded it would be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.
The Prime Minister himself admitted that the long-awaited advice for teachers is still being worked on despite previously promising it would be issued before the end of the summer term. That date has now passed.
He is under pressure, say the papers, from ‘some Tory MPs and campaigners’; to ensure that the guidance stops schoolchildren changing their names, pronouns, hairstyles, and uniforms to match their preferred gender. So why is he doing nothing?
Thank God for Dr. Loutfi and other people who have had the courage to speak up
Pray that this will end in praise when RSE is abolished and righteousness restored.
Pray for the UK and our children.

Costa Coffee's cartoon of a woman after a double mastectomy.
Costa Coffee’s cartoon of a woman after a double mastectomy.
Costa stands accused of a bizarre virtue-signalling stunt with an advert promoting mutilatory double mastectomies in healthy young women.
The coffee firm has used a cartoon image of a “trans man” (ie a woman) with obvious mastectomy scars.
On the Unherd website, Joan Smith described Costa’s trans mastectomy advert as ‘an insult to women.’ She said: ‘The coffee chain is oblivious to the pain it causes troubled young girls’.
Detransitioner Sinead Watson said: ‘There is absolutely nothing glamorous about having your breasts removed. I should know. I only have to look in the mirror to see what a transitioned chest looks like.’
Costa is promoting a medical scandal. The chain now has angry customers threatening a boycott while Labour MP Lloyd Russell-Moyle ludicrously defended it on Julia Hartley-Brewer’s TalkTV show as ‘people making adjustments to their body’, as if a mastectomy is no more serious than a haircut.
The Biblical position is clear. It is God who decides whether we are male or female, not us: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
The midwife does not ‘assign’ your sex, she simply discerns it: Luke 1:57 Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.
While those who think they know better than the Almighty are cursed by the Word of God: Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? 10 Woe unto him that saith unto his father, What begettest thou? or to the woman, What hast thou brought forth?
The Costa advert is the latest example of the UK establishment’s wholesale rebellion against the Almighty. It shows why the whole edifice of woke law needs to be pulled down in national repentance, so that things begin to go well for all the people of this land, not just confused young women deluded into thinking they are really men:
Meanwhile, the government has delayed publishing its “transgender guidance for schools” after its legal advisors concluded it would be in breach of the Equality Act 2010.
According to Sky News, Attorney General Victoria Prentis MP said the Government would have to change the law if it wanted to stop children assuming a different gender in schools.
‘Gender Reassignment’ is a ‘protected characteristic’ under Section 7 of Chapter 1 of Part 2 of the 2010 Act. Click on the link above to see we are not making it up.
The Prime Minister himself admitted that the long-awaited advice for teachers is still being worked on despite previously promising it would be issued before the end of the summer term. That date has now passed.
He is under pressure, say the papers, from ‘some Tory MPs and campaigners; to ensure that the guidance stops schoolchildren changing their names, pronouns, hairstyles, and uniforms to match their preferred gender.
Government lawyers have also raised concerns about proposals to include a free speech defence so that teachers would not be ‘compelled’ to use a pupil’s chosen pronouns.
But none of it can be done while the Equality Act stays as it is. So the Attorney General’s observation of amending the law begs the question: Why they are not doing that already? How long have they been in office? Thirteen years?
If the Government are genuinely committed to ensuring the safety of children and resolving the persisting “gender identity crisis” within schools, why is the Government not taking urgent action to change the law now?
It is because, as the Guardian reported more than three months ago, Equalities Secretary Kemi Badenoch is still dithering after asking the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) for advice on the change. And of course the usual suspects, the Stonewalls of this world, feet securely under the government table, are opposing it.
Safeguarding of children has a Biblical precedent in the words of our Lord: Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
‘Gender Reassignment’ should be banned
We need to be very clear that in anything like a God-fearing society, or even one with common sense, no child should be allowed to set out on the ‘social transitioning’ pathway. Changing pronouns, clothing and toilets leads inexorably to puberty-blocking hormones and mutilatory surgery, which a civilised society would prohibit. If someone has a psychological, emotional or spiritual problem, stopping puberty and cutting off bodily parts is not the way to address it.
Those who are prescribing damaging hormones to children are well described in Scripture: Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
While in the Gospel, our Lord took it as understood that a physician would be nowhere near adolescent boys and girls with absolutely nothing wrong with them: Matt 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Teaching in fear
Teachers in schools across the UK appear to be walking on eggshells in matters of “gender identity”. It has significantly affected the way they carry out their jobs, as most teachers get sanctioned for what schools describe as ” falling below teaching standards”.
In May 2023, a Christian teacher was stopped indefinitely from teaching in any sixth-form college or children’s home in England for what they claim to be “misgendering” a pupil.
33-year-old Joshua Sutcliffe was banned from the teaching profession for addressing a girl as a girl. Mr Sutcliffe unapologetically admitted to not using the pupil’s preferred pronouns and plans to appeal the court ruling.
Guidance on the UK government page says, ‘Parents have the duty to protect their children’s rights until they are old enough to make their own way in the world.
‘Provide the child with food, clothing and a place to live. Also, provide safety, supervision and control amongst other things.’
The emphasis on “old enough to make informed decisions,” and providing supervision/control, as stated above, seems to have become irrelevant in this era of “gender rights and inclusivity.”
Parental consent in matters such as “gender identity” and ‘sex education’ should not be up for debate.
The Bible says, Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
In a separate case, a court ruled against Christian parents who took a London school to court after it prevented pupils, including her 4-year-old son, from opting out of a school ‘gay pride’ event.
The parents, Izzy and Shane Montague are to appeal their case after the Central London County Court dismissed their claim against their child’s former school, Heavers Farm, for attempting to force him to participate in an “LGBT-themed Pride Parade”. Christian parents, teachers, activists, public servants being cancelled for expressing Biblical views, need their freedom of speech protected. Only national repentance can save this United Kingdom:
In November 2022, teachers at a Scottish secondary school were ordered to keep gender changes of pupils a secret.
A local paper reported that staff at a West Dunbartonshire high school received an email from the head teacher warning them not to divulge the information of children’s gender decisions.
Teachers at the school also revealed that a growing number of pupils were assuming new identities, with staff and pupils ordered to use new names and pronouns without question.
Our major concern is to let children grow in the way of the Lord, and enjoy their childhood without unnecessary intrusions.
As the Bible puts it, 1 Cor 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Moreover, children should not be taught God made a mistake when he created each one of us. Gen 5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Read and Pray
Proverbs 11:2; Mark 7:20-23; Romans 12:16; 1 John 2:16; 1 Corinth 1:28-29
Pray for children across the UK, for national repentance to stop them being part of a satanic experiment.
Pray for Christian parents standing up for their children,
Pray for Christian teachers facing persecution,
Pray for sound leadership, from God-fearing humility which leads to wisdom and understanding in our nation.

A girl referred to the controversial Tavistock transgender clinic when she was 15 is the latest to express feeling like a “mutilated experiment gone wrong,” following the double mastectomy she underwent to remove her healthy breasts.
Jasmine, Photo: ITV
According to the Telegraph, Jasmine decided to ‘identify’ as a boy. She has since returned to seeing herself, correctly, as female. She now considers her original decision was a mistake made as a child but she adds “part of the onus is on the professionals that treated me”.
Jasmine said health professionals saw her at the clinic just three times. From the age of 17, Tavistock’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) patients were transferred to adult services where they could then undergo the mutilatory ‘gender reassignment surgery’.
At her second 45-minute appointment at the adult clinic, she said she was referred to be prescribed cross-sex hormones and put on the waiting list for “top surgery”, a mastectomy. She now says this did not “help” or “fix” her but “made things a lot worse”.
Chloe Cole tells the US Congress of the ‘lifelong, irreversible harm’ she suffered at the hands of ‘gender-affirming’ rouge surgeons.
In the United States, a US House of Congress Judiciary Subcommittee heard similar harrowing evidence from Chloe Cole. Chloe testified before the House on 27th July 2023. She too had her healthy breasts removed after charlatan doctors asked her parents if they would prefer a live son to a dead daughter. Chloe says she was never suicidal. What was done to her, as to Jasmine, was barbaric. VIDEO HERE
At the hearing, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-Wyo.) insisted that there is no such thing as a ‘successful sex-change operation’. The hearing was called to discuss “gender-affirming care” for children, which is gender activists’ language for the unethical, ungodly transition pathway. VIDEO HERE
Chloe Cole pleaded with those present at the hearing: “Please let me be your final warning.”
It is becoming clearer by the day (and see the scriptural witness below) that the doctors and surgeons involved in such an abuse of medicine should be struck off and such practices made illegal. In years to come people will look back at this evil not just as rebellion from the Almighty, but as one of the greatest medical scandals of our time, a point well made in the Telegraph on 4th August 2023 by Camilla Tominey.
Tavistock gender clinic services halted
On 28th July 2022, the NHS ordered the closure of the Central Transgender clinic by spring 2023. This follows a damning report published as part of an independent review by Dr Hilary Cass, a consultant paediatrician and former president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
Dr Hilary Cass
Dr Cass concluded that the NHS’s clinic for transgender children was “not safe” and that there needed to be a “fundamentally different” service.
The (GIDS) is due to close in 2024, a year later than first planned. Two regional hubs will replace it. Our concern is they may employ the same people and adopt the same ethos until the Government steps in to ban these medical and surgical procedures entirely.
The demand for Tavistock services and children seeking help increased exponentially in the decade to 2020 but, after the Cass review was highly critical of referrals for the prescribing of puberty blockers and the clinic’s waiting times, the service was ordered to close. Activists claim thousands of children are now stuck in ‘medical limbo’, but they may just avoid the terrible consequences of the ‘GIDS pathway’.
Risks of Puberty Blockers
The adverse effects of administering puberty blockers to children or facilitating gender changes cannot be overstated. In the past, deaths resulting from “vaginoplasty” surgery have been recorded along with multiple regrets related to the use of “puberty blockers” in the name of treating “gender dysphoria” .
Even the NHS, on its website, admits that there are effects of hormone blockers which include suppression of body features. It is worth noting that trans-activist ‘charity’ Mermaids wrongly claim there are no long-term effects.
The Bible well describes the doctors and surgeons involved: Job 13:14 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
Meanwhile, In our previous article, we reported that the Tavistock Clinic’s Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) has been administering puberty blockers to children as the treatment for “gender dysphoria” since 2011. These also ruined the life of Keira Bell.
Keira Bell
Keira’s needs should have been addressed at a psychological, emotional and dare we say a spiritual level. She too had her perfectly healthy breasts removed and suffers from a deepened voice as a result of the hormones inflicted on her. Her experience, like that of Jasmine, highlight the perils of the ‘medical transition’ which follows the ‘social transitioning’ in which adolescent girls start using male pronouns and demand to be called by boys’ names.
The revelations shared by Jasmine, Keira Bell, and concerned parents are concrete evidence that children should receive genuine care instead of being encouraged towards any form of injections or surgeries. We need to pray for the UK governments to ban these satanic pathways which are destroying lives.
The Biblical witness
These girls lives have been destroyed. The Lord Jesus said: John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Plainly these girls, and boys who have endured similar treatment, have been lied to. Again the Lord Jesus said, and this must apply to the trans activists and doctors: John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
How they need to hear the truth, that they were created bodily just fine and that it is sin which corrupts and distorts the soul, not puberty: John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
We see that Almighty God has made each of us in his image with XY or XX genetics from the beginning of creation: Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
How dare anyone say that God had it wrong and that he or she knows better: Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. 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?
It follows that the manufacturers, pharmacists, doctors and surgeons making money out of this abomination are charlatans, prescribing treatments that are worse than worthless: Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Genesis 1:27; Exodus 18: 21; Nehemiah 4:14; Mark 5:26-29; Psalm 14:4, 53:4, 64:5, 91:8, 94:2, 140:1-3, Matt 9:12; Rom 3:13.
Thank God for giving Jasmine and Kiera the courage to speak the truth.
Pray for children going through puberty and for their parents to know the truth.
Pray for the fear of God, for humility and wisdom for our leaders.

Miriam Cates MP has proposed a bill to let parents see RSE materials.
Miriam_Cates_MP
A Tory MP has proposed a new law that would oblige schools and third-party sex educators to disclose sex education lesson plans and materials to parents.
Mrs Cates has warned that sex education lessons have become a “wild west”. She is proposing the legislation to create a legal duty for English schools to share materials used in relationships and sex education lessons with parents.
The legislation would also prevent schools from using unpublished materials if they are produced by a third-party provider.
It comes after a 47-year-old mum, Clare Page, lost a legal battle to see the sex education lesson plan used at her daughter’s school, even though the Education Secretary wrote to all schools in England telling them to disclose such lessons. Judge Sophie Buckley acknowledged Gillian Keegan’s letter only to ignore it. She ruled that the commercial interests of the third-party sex education provider outweighed the public interest in forcing the school to release the lesson plan under freedom of information laws.
Hence Miriam Cates’ Bill. However, firstly, without Government time the Bill stands no chance of becoming law. Its Second Reading might not even happen this year. Secondly, the Bill defines ‘publish’ as merely available to ministers and the media for a fee. True transparency demands all sex education material be openly and freely published to all. What do the sex educators have to hide? As our Lord said:
John 3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Trans Guidance ‘political disaster’
Gillian Keegan, Education Minister
In a separate development, the Telegraph reports that a long-awaited draft government guidance on whether children can ‘self identify’ as the opposite sex at school has been denounced as a ‘political disaster’.
Education Secretary Gillian Keegan’s draft guidance would allow children to adopt false pronouns if their parents agree. That would not only be weak, be damaging to children, put pressure on parents to ‘conform’ to trans ideology, and be an abrogation of the duty of care all adults should have for children, but fly in the face of scripture. The Bible says,
Gen 1:27 And God created Adam in his image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Isa 29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
A spokesperson for the Prime Minister said: ‘Children should not be influenced by the personal views of teachers when discussing transgender issues.’
Just to be clear, “transgenderism” has no place in children’s education . There should be no discussion of “transgenderism” in schools at all.
We may be certain trans activists will respond to Ms Keegan’s forthcoming consultation to argue that it is up to children themselves whether they want to tell their parents about embarking on a self-destructive path.
Clearly, it is the ideology driving them. They care nothing for the children involved. The Bible says: Proverbs 12:10 A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.
College investigated for Student identifying as cat
A school identified as Rye College is being investigated by the Department for Education (DfE) after a teacher called a pupil’s views despicable during a row over another allegedly identifying as a cat.
According the Telegraph, children at the school in East Sussex were reprimanded last week for refusing to accept their classmate’s decision to self-identify as a cat.
Rye College
The children were told they would be reported to a senior leader after their teacher said they had “really upset” the fellow pupil by telling her: “You’re a girl.”
In the meantime, Christian Voice contacted a number of unrelated Schools all in England and Wales for a comment on the subject, but they are yet to respond.
It has emerged that students in British schools are now allowed to identify as dinosaurs, horses, or even a moon. However, teachers have been warned by the government to treat these incidents as safeguarding issues. However, the warnings lack teeth.
Downing Street has said that head teachers should intervene to stop children identifying as moons, cats, or other “neo-genders”. But yet again, this is not a statutory requirement, merely advice and ‘guidance’.
The Bible says, Jeremiah 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he is deeply concerned about the content of sex education being taught to some pupils. He emphasised: ‘it is vital the right safeguards are in place.’
Rishi Sunak
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.
We acknowledge the Prime Minister’s declared effort to prioritise these safeguarding issues and restore sanity. However, we must say that it is not enough and shows the government have lost control of education and the whole LGBT debate.
Ministers and teachers are adults and should prevent unbiblical matters like “gender identity”, “gender reassignment”, “same-sex relationships” from intruding into children’s minds if they are to grow up as well-balanced individuals and if society itself is not to destroy itself.
The Bible says, 1Cor 13:11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Deut 6:6-7; Prov 16:12, 25:5, 29:14; Ezek 16:49-50; Matthew 18:1-10; Ephesians 6:4; 1 John 3: 7-8. We thank God for this step by Mr Sunak and his ministers and MPs, but must continue to pray without ceasing for our leaders to repent for God’s institution of the family to be honoured and for our children to be protected. Pray also for Clare Page and her family to be emboldened and strengthened.

(Stop Press: The Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Italy on Sunday 21st May 2023 which we refer to in the video was cancelled owing to extensive rainfall and flooding which has to date tragically taken 14 lives. Please pray for those caught up in it all. The next F1 Grand Prix took place on Sunday 28th May 2023 in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Lewis came fourth. )
Sir Lewis Hamilton used the occasion of last weekend’s 2023 Miami Grand Prix to blunder into the Florida sex education debate. So let’s look at that debate, at Lewis’s descent into wokeness and how since he went on that path his racing career appears to have stalled. Watch our video (you are reading the transcript):
According to the BBC: ‘Florida governor Ron DeSantis is set to widen a law barring public schools from teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity to all grades.’
The law is officially titled the ‘Parental Rights in Education Act’. It was passed in 2022 and currently applies to public, or state, schools from kindergarten, only up to ‘third grade’, which is 8-9 year-olds.
Extension of the law
In April 2023, the Florida Board of Education approved an extension of the ban to all grades, primary and secondary.
Mr DeSantis and other Republicans who support the law, and the extension, say it shields children from inappropriate content that does not belong in schools. They argue that parents, not teachers, should be holding discussions on topics like sexual orientation and gender identity with their children. The Bible supports them. In the Old Testament, in the book of Deuteronomy, chapter six, the Lord tells his people this about his laws:
Deut 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Bring up your children in the Lord
And of course the New Testament agrees. We read in the Gospel of Luke, chapter two and verse fifty-one that the Lord Jesus was subject to his mother and father, while the Apostle Paul wrote to the Ephesians also in chapter six:
Eph 6:4 And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
Parents, the Bible tells us, are responsible for their children’s education, not teachers, not sex educators, not LGBTQ+, or whatever the latest version is, activists.
Florida Commissioner of Education Manny Diaz Jr said in a tweet: ‘Students should be spending their time in school learning core academic subjects, not being force-fed radical gender and sexual ideology.’
As expected, Democratic President Joe Biden has called the law ‘hateful.’ Gay and Trans activists in the State and indeed across the US are also furious.
Rainbow Flag on his helmet
Lewis Hamilton’s LGBT Rainbow Helmet
And into the shallow mud of opposition has now waded our own national treasure Sir Lewis Hamilton to campaign for homosexuals and trans activists against parents and decency.
‘It’s not good. At all,’ said our Lewis. ‘I stand by the LGBTQ community here and hope they continue to push back.’
Push back against parental rights and responsibilities, eh? Mr Hamilton said he would race in Miami with a rainbow flag in support of LGBTQ rights on his helmet.
‘It is no different to when we were in Saudi,’ the Mercedes driver added. ‘It is not the right direction and not the right message.’
Oh dear, Lewis, in two places in the book of Proverbs we read:
Prov 14:12 (c/f 16:25) There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
‘I am here and hoping that just by showing up with my helmet I will be continuing to support the LGBT community and showing I stand with them in solidarity. I hope they continue to fight against it,’ he went on
Oh, Lewis. ‘Showing up’ with his rainbow helmet. It was, no doubt, the least he could do. But seriously, with his words and his helmet Lewis is trying to change opinion. He is interfering in another nation’s internal affairs. just as we see Western governments and foundations and sportsmen like the gay Tom Daley doing all over the world. And of course there is a spiritual dimension to Lewis’s intervention, coming inevitably from his secularist worship of a false woke god. The Lord’s Prophet Jeremiah said:
Jer 23:26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
Sex Education is ‘Vital’
Sir Lewis went on: ‘My sympathy and thoughts are with the people here in Miami. It’s not them making the decisions, it’s the people in government and that’s the issue.’
Really? Only last year Ron DeSantis beat his Democratic challenger Charlie Crist by over 19 percentage points. The Florida Governor specifically campaigned on the culture war and against the ‘woke’ values of Sir Lewis Hamilton and his celebrity friends.
You know, we are constantly told by the education establishment here in the UK that sex education is always age-appropriate, that it is essential to help children understand the modern world and that parents have nothing to worry about.
But now Lewis has given the game away. Sex Education is actually designed to promote homosexuality and transgenderism to children. It is apparently an essential plank in the armoury of gay and trans activists. It is, in the words of our own Director of Ofsted Amanda Spielman, ‘vital’ for children to hear the gay and trans ideology in Relationships and Sex Education. ‘Vital’, that is, for the woke cause. And it seems it is ‘vital’ for them world-wide.
That explains Plan International and the ‘gender-queer’ Comprehensive Sexuality Education toolkit that that Western-funded NGO tried to sneak into Rwanda.
It explains concerned parents being excluded from school board meetings across the United States. But there is a judgment coming. The Bible says:
Eccl 5:8 If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.
Seven World Titles
Back in the previous decade, it seemed as if the Lewis Hamilton / Mercedes partnership was unstoppable in Formula One. He won his first world championship in 2008 with McLaren.
He joined Mercedes in 2013, winning his second championship the following year. He won again in 2015.
Lewis lost the 2016 title to his team-mate Nico Rosberg, but went on to win four in a row from 2017 to 2020. Seven world titles equalled the record of Michael Schumacher. In our house, we cheered and prayed for the fresh-faced boy from Stevenage all the way.
But something changed during 2020. On 25th May, George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man, was murdered while being arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, by Derek Chauvin, a 44-year-old US police officer. The fact that the policeman was white gave ammunition to a Marxist-feminist bunch called ‘Black Lives Matter’, led by three fiercely anti-family, anti-capitalist lesbians. I say, ‘anti-capitalist’ but they certainly prospered from the death of the Mr Floyd. Derek Chauvin has since been convicted.
Going ‘woke’
In the wake of the murder, Lewis demanded his Mercedes be painted black and he started doing the knee business to show his support for the wealthy anti-family Marxists. Then in 2021 he switched his attention to homosexuality. He commissioned what Pink News described as ‘his intersex-inclusive Progress Pride flag helmet’ for the inaugural Grand Prix in Qatar, which he won. Why those born with the unfortunate intersex condition are dragged in, I have no idea, except for shameless political reasons, of course. The inaugural Saudi Arabia Grand Prix followed and Lewis won that too, also in his rainbow helmet.
Then followed the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Lewis turned up in his woke helmet for the third time in solidarity with homosexuality. Sodomy is illegal in all three countries. I suppose refusing to take part was not an option for a man with an eye on an eighth world title.
But look, here are three Muslim countries following the laws of God, which say, in Leviticus chapter twenty:
Lev 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
You might object to that penalty, but in the UK there is no penalty at all for sodomy. Instead, it is promoted to 4-year-olds in school.
Bringing shame on the UK
Lewis was only calling attention to our national sin, bringing shame in Muslim eyes on the constitutional Christian country he represents. Moreover, his pro-gay virtue, or vice-signalling provides an additional reason to persecute individual Christians in that part of the world.
Anyway, the Abu Dhabi race was held on 12th December 2021. Coming into the race, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton each had 369.5 points. Lewis needed to win. He made a good start and led for most of the race. He appeared on course to win what would have been a record eighth World Drivers’ Championship. But as Jonny Cash sang, ‘You can run on for a long time, sooner or later God’ll cut you down.’ Or as the Bible says:
Prov 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
On lap 53 of the 58-lap race Nicholas Latifi crashed his Williams and out came the safety car. Max Verstappen went into the pits for a change of tyres. Lewis stayed out. A controversial and erroneous safety car restart made it a one-lap race. Lewis, with his old tyres, was a sitting duck for the Dutchman, who overtook the Mercedes driver in the last moments of the race, clinching the championship.
Three days later, on 15th December 2021, Lewis Hamilton was knighted by the then Prince of Wales for services to motorsports. Some consolation.
Troubles at Mercedes
The official who made the wrong decision was demoted, but the race result stood. And then it really started to go wrong for Sir Lewis, and for his team-mate George Russell. After a re-design, the Mercedes car which emerged for the 2022 season appeared to have both an engine deficit and suspension problems. From eleven wins and three more podium finishes (that’s second or third) in 2020 and eight wins and a further nine podiums in 2021, the best Lewis could manage last year was nine podium finishes and no wins at all. Since he started racing, there had never been a season when Lewis did not win at least one race.
The car, and Lewis, are faring no better in 2023, with just one podium finish in five races. Lewis finished 6th in Miami, with his Mercedes team-mate George Russell in 4th place. In fairness, in the drivers’ overall standings those positions are reversed.
An upgraded Mercedes is coming for the next race, Emilia Romagna in Italy on Sunday 21st May 2023. However, team boss Toto Wolff is only looking to ‘make inroads into Red Bull’s advantage at the front’ and to be ‘the best of the rest’.
‘We just need to manage everybody’s expectation because we’re talking so much about that upgrade,’ he said. ‘We’re not going to put it down on the track and then drive circles around Red Bull, but it’s going be a good baseline, I think.’
Nasty Piece of Work
How can a car which was so good, suddenly become so bad? Why has it become, in Mr Wolff’s words, such ‘a nasty piece of work’ from one year to the next? Why, for that matter, was Lewis on the receiving end of such a poor decision in Abu Dhabi after such an unexpected late crash in only his third outing in his rainbow helmet? Just what is going on? Is he now under a curse? Well, how can there not be a spiritual dimension to these extraordinary catastrophes? If you disagree, what are you saying? That God would not do that? Or that God could not do that? The Bible says in the book of Ecclesiastes:
Eccl 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
But then again, the Bible promises success to those who follow God’s ways, for example, to Joshua:
Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
And to us all, in the very first Psalm, with a warning to Lewis and his LGBTQ friends:
Psa 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psa 1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Pray for his repentance
We don’t pray any more in our house for success for Lewis Hamilton. We pray now for his repentance. By choosing to support the enemies of the Lord he has put himself in the camp of the ungodly, the sinners and the scornful. The Bible says, in the book of Numbers:
Numb 10:35 And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.
Will Sir Lewis Hamilton ever achieve that eighth world drivers’ championship and become the Greatest of All Time, or at least, the One with the Most Titles?
Or will he be like his friend the equally celebrity-woke Serena Williams, desperately chasing that one last title to, in Serena’s case, just take her level with Margaret Court, the Evangelical Christian derided by the press and the glitterati as ‘homophobic’? Serena never made it and has now retired. Margaret Court’s place in history is secure, as is her place in heaven. We read in the psalms:
Psa 146:9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
That is the kind of God he is. On one level, Lewis has entertained the people and made his money. He has enjoyed success. But ambition is built into all of us. It is part of being made in the image of God. I am sure Lewis wants that eighth title. What a pity he has turned his back on the God who gave him his gift and who could give him his final goal if he would only humble himself and repent. The Lord Jesus said:
Matt 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Yes, he is a God of judgment. But he is a God of mercy, and if your own life is being lived in rebellion from God, you too can turn from your wickedness right now, accept the Lord Jesus as your Saviour, your God and your King, and live to the full his risen life.
More scripture on pride…
2Chron 16:9a For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Psa 94:2 Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. Psa 119:21 Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments. Psa 138:6 Though the LORD be high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off. Isa 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Jer 50:31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. Luke 1:51 He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. Luke 14:11 For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.

Scotland’s NHS service is planning to fast-track irreversible surgeries for people who believe they are the opposite sex, according to the Telegraph. A report by the service claims ‘barriers’ to gender reassignment surgery need to be removed and operations made more widely available. These operations include mastectomies, breast implants, and genital reassignment, as well as hormone treatments. The document also claims the new plan can ‘benefit’ patients who identify as a different gender. Furthermore, the report includes a suggestion that GPs rather than specialists be allowed to send patients for procedures. It says a single opinion is enough to refer for surgery in most cases.
Mental health issue
The group that wrote the report named it SPATH (Scottish Pathway for Trans Healthcare) in an apparent attempt to link itself to WPATH. World Association for Transgender Health(WPATH) is a group that advocates gender surgery for adolescents. Firstly, the report states that counselling or psychotherapy examining gender identity is not a prerequisite for any gender-affirming healthcare. This means that people could be sent for operations without any interrogation of alternative reasons for gender dysphoria. Additionally, It adds that no one is expected to describe their sexuality or current gender identity in stereotypical ways in order to access gender-affirming healthcare. ‘Access to hormones and surgeries can act as a prophylactic measure against distress. A person who identifies as a different gender can have persistent gender incongruence without distress and can still benefit from gender-affirming hormones or surgeries.’
Quick Fix?

A director with the For Women Scotland campaign group (FWS), said surgeries on healthy bodies should not be seen as a quick fix. Trina Budge added that there was no proof they resolved gender dysphoria. ‘This now appears to be a service to fast-track surgeries selected by the patient, to satisfy how they wish to look, rather than any clinical attempt to address a mental health issue’, she said. Meanwhile, Nicola Sturgeon’s government has urged Lady Haldane(Judge) to dismiss a case brought by FWS. The campaign group insists it is quite clear that UK legislation allows a male to become legally female. FWS argues that the change which the government hopes would boost the number of persons identifying as a different gender, is unlawful under the Equality Act. However, Ruth Crawford, KC, representing the government, believes that a person born male could be legally seen as a woman under the 2004 Gender Recognition Act.
‘Very troubling indeed’
The plans to enforce these rules in Scotland follow approaches advocated by a group called the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH). The organisation assert that it is unethical for medical professionals to stop children from receiving the treatment if they want to stop developing into the wrong sex. WPATH also suggests the age at which children should be able to receive such treatment should be lowered to 14. Dr David Bell, a whistleblower at England’s Gender Identity Service for children(GIDS) even said it was ‘very troubling indeed’ to see the Scottish moving in this direction. ‘We have an ethical duty towards young people and adults not to treat things at face value,’ he added. Christian Voice in several articles has said in accordance with the Bible that healthy people require no medications. Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Is it not harmful to society that young people will as a result of these new treatments make decisions that will have an adverse effect on their lives?
State-endorsed form of ‘social transition’
A spokesman for NHS Scotland said the organisation would soon submit its final recommendations for a new treatment to SNP ministers. ‘This new protocol draws upon the widest appropriate evidence base and relevant clinical data,’ he added. Subject to Scottish Government approval, it will replace the current arrangements. This will date from 2012 and determine gender reassignment pathways throughout NHS Scotland.
The Issue
Aside from the cost of living crisis, the treatment of gender and sexuality in children and adolescents is still a topic of public debate. The first shock came from psychoanalyst Dr. Marcus Evans, who served on the board of Tavistock Gender Identity Development Services (GIDS). The consultant quit his job after denouncing that doctors were subjected to censorship at the clinic.
They expressed concern, for example, about the hurried procedures that resulted in ‘inadequate clinical assessments’ and premature interventions on young patients. Dr. Evans also revealed that many of his colleagues were under attack from activist groups to keep the issue secret.
The Big Regret
The case of a 26-year-old female(now Sam) who underwent a double mastectomy and hormone therapy to become male is worth reading. The young lady, decided to pay for private therapy sessions when she began to question her gender identity at the age of 21. This follows a two and a half years wait period for an NHS appointment. She was initially thrilled to have had a private appointment, and after an online self-diagnosis was given the go-ahead to begin hormone therapy and undergo a double mastectomy. Just two years after the hormone treatment and a double mastectomy, she began suffering health complications. The young woman realised a full gender reassignment surgery was not the answer. By the time her initial NHS appointment came through, it fully dawned on her she had made a mistake and tried to seek help to re-transition. After two years of taking hormones, she began to suffer vaginal atrophy and decided to opt out of the gender reassignment surgery. She has transitioned back to living as a woman.
Other Cases
The story above is not an isolated case. As reported on our website, the stories are piling up of young people who change their gender and eventually regret it. A related organisation referred to as Detransition Advocacy Network was formed to bring them together. Meanwhile, hundreds of young adults are turning to the organisation. They are protesting that hormone treatment has not solved their problems. At the same time, the number of minors who turn to GIDS is increasing exponentially. In 2009, there were 77 children and adolescents. Ten years later, there are already 2590 referrals per year. What has caused this increase? Ideology? Interest? Or just a greater awareness of gender dysphoria? The Telegraph wrote that 35 doctors resigned from the GIDS, much like Dr. Evans in order to resist pressure from the campaign group Mermaids.
Scriptural and Scientific Evidence
The Bible in different chapters has made clear God’s intentions for mankind. Any attempt to alter God’s creation will eternally not bring peace except in the place of repentance. Mark 10:6-7 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female…For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife. Genesis 5:1-2 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him… Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. Dr. Paul McHugh, a professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, says that ‘transgendered’ men do not become women, nor do ‘transgendered’ women become men. Research online maintains that sex reassignment does not adequately address the psychosocial difficulties faced by people who identify as transgender. Even when the procedures are successful technically and cosmetically. In cultures that are relatively ‘trans-friendly,’ transitioners still face poor outcomes. The Guardian summarised the results of a review by Birmingham University’s Aggressive Research Intelligence Facility(ARIF). ARIF concludes that none of the studies provides conclusive evidence that gender reassignment is beneficial for patients.
