Transwoman discriminated against at Muncie Hospital

This is just wrong and isn't (big surprise) getting lots of media coverage. Everyone, when going to a hospital, deserves the right to be treated as a human and with decency and respect along with compassion. At least, that's what hospitals should be about. Share this story where you can and let others know.

Signed, though it seems petitions rarely end up achieving what they set out to, unfortunately. I still feel like somehow we should be getting articles like this out into local mainstream media, not just LGBT sources.
