A breast cancer patient claims her health clinic dropped her after she criticized a trans pride flag hanging in the reception area.
Marlene Barbera can no longer receive treatment at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) facilities. Barbera had previously been a patient at the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic (RFMC) in Portland, Oregon, for 12 years. During that time, she saw the same primary care physician.
But no longer, as The Blaze explains:
Barbera regularly had appointments at the clinic because she has been ill for some time. An X account believed to be Barbera's said she had already received a liver transplant and that she had a double mastectomy procedure scheduled with RFMC in late August.
However, that potentially lifesaving procedure is now in jeopardy after the Oregon Health & Science University, the major medical organization to which RFMC belongs, reportedly cut Barbera off from any further treatment at any of its facilities because she made “disrespectful and hurtful remarks about our LGBTQ community and staff,” a screenshot of a letter reportedly from OHSU practice manager Stein Berger said.
Barbera — a self-described “gender critical woman” who does not accept gender ideology and has repeatedly advocated for the biological reality of sex differences — admitted in an interview with Reduxx that she had expressed concerns to her doctor regarding a transgender flag that hangs in the reception area of RFMC.
“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 to her doctor via MyChart message.
Besides being ignored, Barbera's MyChart message was viewable to other clinic employees. This led to increasingly contentious exchanges with staff before she received an email confirming her dismissal from all OHSU facilities.

She should just tell them she’s an illegal alien. She get the treatment and it would be free.
Our freak show rolls along.
I hope she sues them into oblivion. Whatever happened to free speech and do no harm?
“Waa waa waa! Our feelings are hurt and we need a safe room with kittens and puppies and pizza!”
Ridiculous! Logic and reality have disappeared. So sad!
It’s a ‘crime’ to hurt any member of the LGBQT communities feelings and you are subject to their punishment, rejection, hate, physical attacks, etc. if you dare cross that line. When the tail starts wagging the dog, you know this country is in deep, deep civil trouble. It seems the average law abiding, tax paying civil American who does not belong to the LGBQT, BLM, Antifa and Democrat Left are fair game for all these organizations supported and encouraged by our current administration.
This is extremely disgraceful and unfair. Conform to our false narrative or die.
