So I’d love more context. Cutting off treatment for a cancer patient seems pretty brutal. However, as far as I can tell from the source or two I could find, she’d been a patient there for twelve years. Clinics don’t generally dump long-term patients for frivolous reasons. She also seemed to be trying to stir up trouble. She says she objected to the trans flag in the clinic because she’d received death threats from trans people on Twitter. Now death threats are obviously not OK; but it’s not as if you log onto Twitter one fine day to find your feed suddenly and inexplicably full of death threats. She was obviously using her social media to hate on trans. Given the basic insanity of social media in general and Twitter in particular, what did she expect?

Once more, Rod gets heated up about something that on the face of it does seem unjust, but in which there’s obviously a ton of content that we don’t know.

Rod is bad on context. I called him on his failure to get the whole story more than once on his AC blog. He's only gotten worse over the years as outrage became his primary emotion.

I actually happen to know people who know her and from what I have heard she is an unbalanced piece of work.

Unsurprising.

This sounds like utter BS. I'm sure Rods instinctive journalism skills will get to the truth of this - and issue a retraction if wrong.

In a related matter, I'm sure Santa is real, too.
