This week, a federal court in Minnesota issued a preliminary ruling in a case concluding that discrimination against an individual because of his gender identity is prohibited under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). In June of 2013, Jakob Tiarnan Rumble, a transgender man, sought treatment at Fairview Southdale Hospital, just outside of Minneapolis. He had a high fever and severe pain in his genitals. During his first day in the Emergency Room and subsequent six days in the hospital, Rumble alleges that he was subject to numerous forms of mistreatment because of his gender identity, including:

So a transgender man....hmmm.....now which way does this go. Is that a male going female, or a female going male? (oh, never mind.....)

Since the article calls the transgender “he”, you know it’s a woman.

The patient is a mentally ill female who thinks she’s male. Forgive me if my grasp of reality offends those who believe in nonsense, like calling a woman a man.

So this was a woman right? We're her “male reproductive organs” imaginary and did she just have menstrual cramps?

He showed up at the hospital with an inflamed uterus, and then was outraged that the medical staff treated him as a woman.

Despite indicating to nurses that he identified as a man, Rumble received a hospital bracelet identifying his sex as “female.”

Oh I'm so sorry that the HOSPITAL, the MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, actually have to know what you are, really, not the game you play that you are a man. If you've got reproductive organs of a woman, why on earth would you be upset if the medical professionals need to know that???????

Looks like the doctors tried to do their job but were deterred by the "patient" and his "mommy". Also sounds like the problem may have been due to bad choices of sexual partners with diseases.

I can't find fault with the treatment (from what the article says) so i imagine this will become part of the headlines soon to mesh with all the racist killings of Blacks and the blatant anti-you-can-be-any-sex-or-sexual-hedonist-you-want-to-be-and-should-have-to bear-none-of-the-responsibility-for-your-choices-and-attendant-diseases meme -- a real one-two-punch against normals and Whites (who will be determined to also be the biggest offenders against the "sexually-diverse".

Put the chromosomal pattern that is directing the body to produce which organs and hormones.

For instance, in this case it would be XX.

Mistreatment which,no doubt,included their insistence that his ovaries must be examined.

“Since the article calls the transgender “he”, you know it’s a woman.”””””.....

Meaning “he” was a woman but now he, who was a she is now a he, meaning he (or was that she) is a “man”?

Reminds me of the Abbott and Constello (comedian’s) act about “Who’s on First?”.

"ThinkProgress" is a very flaky website.

When I Googled the plaintiff's name "Jakob Tiarnan Rumble" I found no coverage of this story in any MSM source, all were sources catering to homosexuals and transsexuals, or lawsuit tracking services.

It would appear that this plaintiff succeeded in getting his/her lawsuit referred for a trial by a federal judge, and this news is getting pumped across the internet in a number of ways.

Chromosomes don’t lie. Whatever type a person is that is what their gender is from nature and not subject to change.
