MI: Fired PA Simply Refused to Treat Patients With Respect

A conservative Christian media company reports on a letter filed by a conservative Christian legal organization on behalf of Valerie Kloosterman, a conservative Christian physician assistant (PA) who says she was fired after seeking a religious accomodation that would allow her to misgender her trans patients on the job.

A Michigan physician assistant claims she was wrongfully terminated, called evil, and blamed for the suicide of transgender people by hospital staff simply because she refused to acknowledge the preferred prnouns of patients due to religious beliefs

the word “simply” is doing a lot of work in this sentence

The PA is seeking to be re-hired and given the right to lovingly shove her religion at sick people, if they happen to request she use pronouns that god told her are wrong.

This one is no Vermont high school girls volleyball team, but we wouldn’t be surprised if we hear more in right wing media on Kloosterman’s case.
