Dr.\u00a0 Kelvin Wright<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A senior British Army officer has been forced to quit after being criticised for repeating the view that \u201cmen cannot be women\u201d.<\/p>\n

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 \u201ctransphobia\u201d complaint and an investigation he described as \u201chellish\u201d.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s sports for those born female, which consisted of a quote from Helen Joyce, a feminist campaigner backed by the author JK Rowling.<\/p>\n

According to the Telegraph<\/b><\/a>, the quote shared without any additional comment said: \u2018If women cannot stand in a public place and say, \u2018men cannot be women\u2019, then we do not have women\u2019s rights at all.\u2019 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.<\/p>\n

As the Bible states,
\nGen 1:27 So God created man in his image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Prophet Isaiah would be scathing about those who think they know better than their maker:
\nIsa 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?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Defence Secretary responds<\/h2>\n

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace MP has said<\/strong><\/a> it was \u201crubbish and untrue\u201d to suggest Dr Wright had been forced out and the investigation had \u201cnothing to do with his views\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u2018Col Dr Wright was NOT forced out of the Army. His views are NOT contrary to Army policy\u2019, he Tweeted.<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

\u2018Col Wright\u2019s administrative investigation stemmed from Army social media policy and had nothing to do with his views. He was encouraged to stay.\u2019<\/p>\n

Emails to Dr Wright, seen by the Telegragh, <\/b><\/a>show the investigating officer in his case referred specifically to the transgender policy.<\/p>\n

On examination, ‘Ministry of Defence (MOD) Policy is completely pro-trans and accepts the validity of no other view whatsoever.<\/p>\n

It is called JSP 889<\/span> ‘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<\/strong><\/a> and do a Ctrl-F search in it for the words ‘women’ and ‘affirmed’.<\/p>\n

Mr. Wallace has been very badly advised to claim Col Dr Wright’s \u201cviews are NOT contrary to Army policy.\u201d They plainly are. And MOD policy is His Majesty\u2019s Government policy.<\/p>\n

Government\u2019s double standards<\/h2>\n

In contrast to the dithering HMG, UK Athletics (UKA)<\/b><\/a> placed a ban on transgender athletes from competing in the female category across all its events.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

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 \u201crisky\u201d to do so unless the government changed the law.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

In a statement, UKA said it believed that it \u201cis fair for athletes who have gone through male puberty to be excluded from the female category in athletics\u201d but that \u201cathletics should remain an inclusive sport\u201d.<\/p>\n

Leaders stuck with the definition of a woman<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/a>

Labour opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer<\/b><\/a> couldn’t define a ‘woman’. And now, nor can His Majesty\u2019s Government. The Conservatives have been in office for thirteen years.<\/p>\n

Further, Labour\u2019s frontbenchers in the past have also been unable to define what a woman is, with one saying the issue is a \u201crabbit hole\u201d.<\/p>\n

Yvette Cooper<\/b><\/a> and Anneliese Dodds, two of Labour\u2019s frontbench MPs, both declined to give a definition of a woman on International Women\u2019s Day earlier this year.<\/p>\n

For reference purposes, here is the Bible\u2019s definition of a woman,
\nGenesis 2:22-23 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman and brought her unto the man\u2026And 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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Bible says,
\nProv 16:12 It is an abomination to kings to commit wickedness: for the throne is established by righteousness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sex education transparency bill<\/h2>\n

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\u2019s views despicable during an argument over another allegedly identifying as a cat.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak even said he was deeply concerned about the content of sex education being taught to some pupils.<\/p>\n

In March 2023, Mr Sunak pledged to put forward a review of statutory guidance on Relationships and Sex Education (RSE), in light of the \u201csafeguarding scandal\u201d of inappropriate materials being used in schools.<\/p>\n

Therefore, it is conflicting to see that so much energy is put into ensuring children\u2019s identities, as well as women\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The Bible says,
\nProv 25:5 Take away the wicked from before the king, and his throne shall be established in righteousness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not to be swept under the carpet<\/h2>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It is the Conservatives who allow sex educators to indoctrinate children with lies that parents are not even allowed to see.<\/p>\n

Isa 45:9 Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! … Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou?<\/p>\n

Created male or female<\/h2>\n

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<\/b><\/a> contents , all they need is an opinion from two doctors, one an expert in \u2018gender dysphoria\u2019.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The Bible says,<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Also, the Bible says,
\nPsalm 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unless His Majesty’s Government repent and turn back to God, that is where our nation is headed.<\/p>\n

Read and Pray<\/h2>\n

Hos 4:6; Luke 17:28; Psalm 94:5-6<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pray for national repentance!<\/strong><\/p>\n
