Oregon Breast Cancer Patient Dropped From Family Health Provider After Objecting to Trans Pride Flag
reduxx.info ^ | August 2, 2023

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 name that couldn’t be spoken is now the name that won’t shut up. That name is bully.

13. Isolation of the Hippocratic Oath by hypocrites.

Oregon, another MARXIST state that needs some boycotting, especially Peking West Portland.

That letter advising the patient that she’s been dropped from medical care is all the proof that anyone needs that these are monsters and not Americans.

“…but I wish there was a way she can hurt them, just out of principle.“

Let’s see, the health provider is willing to impose a death sentence on the patient for political differences…and turnabout being fair play and all…

Even liberal media may find this beyond the pale

Doubtful. They, themselves, are beyond the pale.

They will be four-square behind the provider. Probably liken the patient to a terrorist, all those nasty words...

Patient abandonment is now legal.

Well, we’ve been warned.

Glad things worked out for you. It’s a nasty thing they did to her.

The irony is that in Red China, the faggotry/tranny garbage is a no-no. It’s only being supported by them over here for the sole purpose of causing a complete societal collapse of the American system.

If this facility takes any money from the government, then they are a government facility (as stated by a DHH inspector at a hospital to a lab supervisor trying to explain how the quality control was being done, “the government pays this hospital so we own you and you do things the way we tell you”).
