Would you want
this guy touching your feet?
Report for April 9, 2004
A podiatrist
masquerading as a woman has sued a hospital, claiming hospital officials
discriminated against him for not accepting him as a her. These guys used
to be confined to the psychiatric ward. Now they are doctors. Note below
that the "complaint" was handled by the Pennsylvania Human
Relations Commission. We are evolving into a Canadian-like system of
injustice which provides sodomites with extra-legal tribunals to which
they can drag those who offend them. Please note the terms of the
settlement in which the hospital agreed to go far beyond state law to
satisfy the man-who-would-be-a-woman. Such is the nature of homo-fascism.
Christians should pray for the salvation of sodomites and share the gospel
with them. Christians must also face the reality of homo-fascism and
resist its spread.
Transgender podiatrist
settles gender discrimination complaint

ALLENTOWN, Pa. - A transgender podiatrist who alleged that she was forced
from a top position at St. Luke's Hospital in Allentown has settled her
gender discrimination complaint against the hospital.
Gwen Greenberg, who was
director of the podiatric surgical residency program at St. Luke's
Hospital-Allentown for 13 years, filed a complaint in November with the
Allentown Human Relations Commission and another in December with the
Pennsylvania Human Relations Commission.
As part of the
settlement terms announced Friday, St. Luke's agreed to add "gender
identity and expression" to the categories of people protected by its
patient bill of rights, to offer education to hospital staff on gender
identity and sexual orientation issues.
Other details, including
whether Greenberg would be reinstated or receive back pay, were not
released in the joint statement released by her lawyer and the hospital.
"All outstanding
matters between Dr. Greenberg and St. Luke's have been privately and
amicably resolved at the satisfaction of both parties," the statement
says.
Greenberg, formerly
known as Gary Greenberg, received counseling and hormone treatments before
changing her name and persona to that of a female four months before she
filed the complaint. She said she had long suffered from dysphoria, a
condition characterized by intense feelings of being the wrong gender.
Reached at her Salisbury
Township podiatry office, Greenberg referred all questions to her attorney
Cynthia Schneider.
"I am bound not to
make any further statements," said Schneider, legal director for the
Center for Lesbian & Gay Civil Rights in Philadelphia.
St. Luke's spokeswoman
Susan Schantz declined to comment beyond the joint statement. State and
local human relations commission officials said Frday [sic] that they had
not been informed that a settlement was reached.
In her complaint,
Greenberg said she continued working at the hospital but her contract as
program director was terminated in May, two weeks after she informed
administrators that on July 1 she would start talking, dressing and living
as a woman.
When the complaint was
filed, Greenberg said she did it to stand up for her civil rights and
those of others.
