Portland hospital refuses cancer treatment to woman who criticized transgender flag outside facility: Report
A Shocking Incident: Woman Denied Cancer Treatment for Criticizing Transgender Flag
A recent report on social media has brought to light a distressing incident that occurred at a hospital in Portland, Oregon. According to the website RedState and the Twitter account Libs of TikTok, a patient named Marlene was denied cancer treatment at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) clinic.
Marlene expressed her concerns about the clinic’s public display of a transgender flag, which she found offensive. In response, she was told to undergo ”re-education,” a request she refused to comply with.

While the authenticity and timing of the messages posted by Libs of TikTok are yet to be confirmed, they have sparked outrage and concern. Marlene’s message highlighted her belief in the reality of “sexed bodies” and her discomfort with the transgender flag overshadowing other symbols.
Marlene expressed her distress, stating, “Women are being told, once again, what we are and what we may be, is to be defined by men who have some preferences they’d like enforced, which include bepenised men claiming every female right to privacy and protection from male pattern sexual violence.”
Another message, allegedly from the hospital system, stated that Marlene would be discharged from receiving medical care at the Richmond Family Medical Clinic in Portland. The message cited ongoing disrespectful remarks about the LGBTQ community and staff as the reason for this action.
Chaya Raichik, the operator of Libs of TikTok, shared that Marlene is seeking assistance in exploring legal actions against the hospital.
I spoke with Marlene today and she said she would like to explore actions she can take against the hospital. If you or someone you know can help her- please dm me https://t.co/RsqyrlirUG

The incident has caught the attention of a watchdog group called the New Tolerance Campaign (NTC), which is demanding answers. They emphasize the dangerous consequences of cancel culture, stating, “We know cancel culture can cost people their jobs. Now, it can cost you your life.”
Gregory T. Angelo, president of the NTC, expressed concern about the reported incident, calling it a form of “medical tyranny.” He believes that if people can be denied medical care based on their views, it signifies a dark era of cancel culture with deadly consequences.
While the OHSU system declined to comment on the specific case, they affirmed their commitment to providing discrimination-free medical care to all patients.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting diverse perspectives and ensuring that medical care remains accessible to all, regardless of differing opinions.
