Oregon hospital refuses care to cancer patient for criticizing gender ideology
Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) last week refused medical care to a cancer patient who complained about gender intimidation, according to documents obtained by Libs of TikTok.
The patient, identified as Marlene, was receiving medical care at OHSU’s Richmond Family Medical Clinic. In a message to an unidentified recipient, she described herself as a “gender-critical woman” who believes only in sexes, i.e. men and women. Citing trauma after being targeted by gender totalitarians, Marlene said she felt intimidated by “that enormous transgenderism banner hanging like a Nazi flag behind the reception desk”.
“Where is the Flag for women? For children?” she wrote in the message.
“I have been threatened on Twitter by transactivists with rape and death—so it is daunting to go for medical treatment with that banner proclaiming that what I am—an adult human female. . .is hateful per OHSU,” she continued, adding that “this negates women completely”.
“Women are being told, once again, what we are and what we may be, is to be defined and limited by men who have some preferences they’d like enforced—which include bepenised males claiming every female right to privacy and protection from male pattern sexual violence.”
It is unclear to whom Marlene sent the message, but Libs of TikTok reports that she was asked to take “re-education” training. When she refused, the hospital dropped her as a patient.
“This letter is to inform you that effective immediately you are discharged from receiving medical care at the Richmond Family Medical Clinic,” the letter dated June 29, 2023 reads. “This action is being taken because of ongoing disrespectful and hurtful remarks about our LGBTQ community and staff.
“The provider staff at the Richmond Clinic will continue to provide for your urgent health care needs until 7/29/2023.
“Please note that you are now dismissed from all OHSU Family Medicine clinics, including Immediate Care."
Marlene is joined by many people around the world who have reported being intimidated and discriminated against for not adopting gender confusion. Some who have criticized gender ideology online in the United Kingdom have been arrested; others have had their bank accounts shut down. In the US, children who reject the totalitarian ideology have been threatened with extra work or expulsion. A New Jersey mayor was fired in June by fellow Republicans for not hanging a rainbow flag. In Canada, schools have begun mandating gender confusion studies for children. Parents who do not send their children for classes are guilty of violating hate speech laws.
