This is very odd. An LGBTQIA (huh?) activist is suing a Denver hospital because he/she/it says /he/she/it was assaulted by a guard who wouldn’t let him/her/it in to see a friend.
Watch below:
More from the Denver Post:
A former member of Denver’s LGBTQ Commission says his civil rights were violated last year when a security guard at an Aurora hospital tackled him in anger as the activist was leaving the premises.
JaxZion Justice Deak, a Denver gender activist, also is accusing The Medical Center of Aurora and its contracted security firm HSS of failing to train employees and adopt policies on how to interact with transgender patients and their visitors, according to a lawsuit filed Dec. 22 in Denver District Court.
Deak, who recorded the incident on his cellphone, named the hospital, the security firm and the security guard, Yamada Garner, as defendants. The lawsuit was filed under Deak’s legal name, Elizabeth Erin Deak. Deak identifies as gender noncomforming and prefers male pronouns.
Deak, an activist who volunteers with transgender homeless people in Denver, is seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
Now listen. I don’t care if you have a “preferred” pronoun or gay lesbian name. Your friends need to know your REAL NAME to visit you in the hospital. If they don’t know your real name, how can hospital authorities know they’re you’re real friends? This is all kinda stupid.
On the other hand the guard doesn’t seem to have much justification for tackling the weirdo. Of course, only “Jaxzion Deak’s” version of the story is reported…
