I will occasionally post here about being a 50+ non-op transwoman. I am somewhat closeted, in that I am not out at work.

Barbara is back at LTAC

28 May

She is improved enough that she no longer needed to be in the primary hospital. She is ready to start rehab, and is more comfortable with the team at this LTAC. It ‘feels like home’ after spending so much time here.

Besides that, she wasn’t satisfied with the care of her latest surgical wound at the hospital. This LTAC specializes in wound care, and the team here is very good. So here we are.

John Stossel: Repeal private business section of Civil Rights Act

Action alert: Tell Fox to fire John Stossel

This nation cannot abide the foolish belief that it is OK for private businesses to discriminate in how they provide public accomodations.

Please join me in telling Fox that John Stossel’s attitude is NOT acceptable. It is not acceptable for providers of public accomodations to discriminate for any reason.

Watch Stossel’s comments here.
