University of Michigan Health-West illegally fired a physician’s assistant and berated her over her faith after she objected to using pronouns and potentially participating in transgender drugs and surgeries for gender-dysphoric patients, according to a federal lawsuit.
Valerie Kloosterman worked at Metropolitan Hospital without any conflicts between her religious beliefs and medical services until University of Michigan-West merged with the organization in 2021.
But then hospital officials “attempted to compel Ms. Kloosterman to pledge, against her sincerely held religious convictions and her medical conscience, that she would speak biology-obscuring pronouns and make referrals for ‘gender transition’ drugs and procedures,” according to the lawsuit, filed by First Liberty Institute.
