A woman undergoing treatment for breast cancer has been dropped by her medical clinic based on “hurtful remarks” they allege she made about the “LGBTQ community.” Marlene Barbera, who is scheduled for a mastectomy later this month, had commented on a trans pride flag she had seen in the waiting room of the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic in Portland, Oregon.
Speaking to Reduxx, Barbera says she had written her Doctor a note last year objecting to the presence of a trans pride flag she had seen in the clinic’s reception area.
“I wrote my Doctor a MyChart message all about how offensive, I, as a gender critical woman, found political messaging in a healthcare setting,” Barbera says. People who align themselves with ‘gender critical’ views often reject gender ideology, specifically as it conflates the subjective definition of “gender identity” with the reality of biological sex. Most also take issue with the impact gender ideology has had on the rights of women and girls.

“I have been threatened on Twitter by trans activists 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 a mere opt-in category for any gender non-conforming male and not a reality,” she wrote in her message. “May I please have a telephone appointment to discuss how I may access your medical care without walking under a banner that seeks to negate all I am?”
Barbera explains she had thought MyChart, an application where patients can access and manage their personal health information and communicate with their physician, was private, but was later told that other staff had seen her remarks on the flag.

The thought police weren’t enough.
So now we have thought doctors too.
Did anyone of us nazi that coming?
Isn’t there one of those amendment thingies that is supposed to deal with issues like this? Could it be #1?
On the scale of assholery, this is a 11.
She’s better off going somewhere else but I wish there was a way she can hurt them, just out of principle.
Yeah. This couldn’t be more hateful and dismissive, and between this, the COVID beat down and the medical errors research it is putting American medicine in a horrible light.
By the way, I’m having to do some Credentialling so I visited the National Board of Medical Examiners web site to get my old test scores. At the top of the page was a “we support pediatric sex change” banner.
WTF? What does genital mutilation in minors have to do with standardized tests 40 years ago? Whose idea was this? Whoever did this needs to come out from behind their bureaucratic curtain and tell us who they are.
As soon as they give me what I need, I might snoop around and find out.
She should say she is trans and get her mascetomy done for free. (Lots of the operations are paid for by trans-rights groups).
How to commit suicide:
Get admitted to a hospital for care.
Then tell the staff that you hope Trump beats the rap.
You have their address - use it! Bury the bastards in hate mail.
They want us dead.
The only way to stop this nonsense, is to be legal cases against these insurance coverage firms.
So refusal of care based on opinion over political paraphernalia? Crazy world. I don’t think I would want to piss off a cancer patient. Seems like they may make peace with death. Just a thought.
I smell lawsuit. Go for the jugular.
Hell of a lot of Cancer patients,survivors and families who have lost loved ones from cancer. That is not a good look or image going after someone in treatment for cancer.
Media needs to get on this one. Even liberal media may find this beyond the pale.
Large scale speech control will swell up from the ostensibly private sector until it reaches a point where almost everyone starts being careful about what they say in stores and offices. That is the point when it will become enshrined in actual laws. When two or three SC Justices die or retire and are replaced by Marxists, which is inevitable as the Democrats will not lose another of their controlled national elections, the USSC will be the highest lawmaking body in the nation..
Geneva convention on obligation to provide care to ENEMY on battlefield:”Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith ...”
They will send all of us to re-education camps soon.
Wrong-think will be punished. Of course if she said something about hating White men she would get the best care possible.
