John,

My name is Marlene Barbera, and I am a longtime patient at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) clinics.

A year ago today, the results from my exam came in.

It was exactly what I feared – the lump I had noticed was indeed breast cancer.

Today, one year later, with a double mastectomy scheduled for later this month, I have been banned from my doctor’s office because I believe a man is not a woman and I’m not afraid to say it.

But because they disagree with my values, the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) has banned me from their clinics.

I cannot even go to an urgent care clinic under their affiliation.

OHSU claims they are “dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for all Oregonians,” but not for me.

OHSU claims they “exist to serve others,” that they “need to be approachable and accommodating,” but not for me.

OHSU claims that “Patients should be able to see providers who understand and can meet their diverse needs — providers who appreciate and respect differences.”

But not me.

Not me, because I know, and I say, that a man is not a woman.  I say that a man CANNOT be a woman, and it is an affront to women to demand we accept such a lie.

We are told that if we speak out, we are harmful bigots and our concerns are not valid.

But I know the truth, and I hope you do too.

That’s why I humbly ask today that you sign this petition to OHSU leadership, not just for me, but for the sake of fighting for truth and sanity. CitizenGO will be delivering these petitions on my behalf to the leadership of OHSU.

Your support is crucial to me, at this time

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for your direct support to my cause,

Marlene Barbera

P.S. Please share this with your friends and family. We are stronger together.

Here's the email we sent you earlier on this:


Marlene Barbera was cut off by her primary care clinic because of her opposition to the Transgender ideology.

Less than a year after a breast cancer diagnosis, mere weeks before a scheduled double mastectomy, Marlene has been made an ideological target.

Sign now to demand the CEO and President over the Clinic restore healthcare to Marlene immediately.

SIGN THE PETITION

Dear John,

Marlene Barbara is being deprived of vital care because she believes that men are men and women are women.

Her doctor’s office, which saw her and her son through their liver transplants, has cut her off completely, a little less than a year since her cancer diagnosis, heedless of her mental and physical health needs, or her upcoming double mastectomy to address her cancer.

Marlene’s offense? A private message to her physician about the partisan, transgender-aligned displays prominently placed in the reception area of the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic in Portland, Oregon.

A private message that was swiftly spread around the office.

Over the next several weeks, staff were increasingly unhelpful, rude, and ready to take offense, culminating in a message from the Practice Manager.

It said that she has been banned, not just from the Richmond Family Medicine Clinic, but from any associated clinic, including urgent cares, because of her outspoken views that men are men and women are women.

Please sign your petition to the CEO and President over the clinic demanding Marlene be reinstated immediately and stop this horrible precedent from gaining any traction.

Marlene’s life has been hard.  

She and her son both had liver transplants within 4 months of each other, for which she needs constant care and medication. She has struggled with chronic depression.  Only last year, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

And now, just weeks away from her double mastectomy, when she needs stability and support most of all, she has been abandoned by her doctor because the radical Transgender ideology demands cowed submission and Marlene refuses to give it.

This is only the beginning.

The Richmond Family Clinic is part of the Oregon Health and Sciences University (OHSU) Health System, a huge medical care and education network in Oregon, including the largest hospital in Oregon.

If the Richmond Family Clinic gets away with kicking Marlene to the curb because she disagrees with the Transgender ideology, how long until the hospitals refuse to take patients who aren’t ‘woke’ enough?

It’s already happened once in the UK, where a woman was emailed by the hospital’s CEO saying her life-saving operation had been cancelled ‘to protect staff from distress’ due to a ‘lack of shared values’.

Even though the hospital backed down after CitizenGO’s petition spread around, they’ve tipped their hand.

Unless we fight back, the Transgender mob will see anyone who dares speak out stripped of healthcare. We can’t let that happen.

Sign your petition to OHSU CEO John Hunter and OHSU President Danny Jacobs demanding they reverse this ideological abuse of healthcare.

This is a fight we know all too well.

People like you and me are being deplatformed every day for speaking the truth. 

A wave of stories have recently broken about banks shutting down the accounts of citizens who dare to speak out.

And now, the rabid Transgender partisans are aiming to steal away your healthcare if you dare proclaim your beliefs.

We have proven that if we fight together, we can win.

But it’s clear; if we don’t fight back, first the Transgender madness will cut off your right to speak, then your access to finance, and now healthcare!

Stand with CitizenGO and Marlene against the Transgender tide – sign the petition and demand that John Hunter and Danny Jacobs restore healthcare to Marlene at once.

Thank you for your support against the madness. With you standing with us, we can make a real impact in Marlene’s life and push back on the Transgender lobby.

Caroline Farrow and all of the team at CitizenGO

P.S. Don’t forget to share this petition with others who will be (rightly) concerned about the influence of the Transgender lobby on healthcare, and make a contribution to help CitizenGO fight for Marlene’s rights.
