transvestite thing," according to the Associated Press.
"She said I couldn't see a doctor until I came back with test orders from my doctor in Indy," Vaught said.
That was after nurses entered her into the computer system as a man, despite her stateissued identification indicating that she is a woman, and called her a "he-she" and "it."
Ball Memorial Hospital spokesman Will Henderson said that a patient representative was investigating the incident. Henderson said the patients' rights policy, while not specifically mentioning transgender people, applies to the situation.

Columbus Two Ohio schools scored fivestar ratings on Campus Pride's Campus Climate Index.
Ohio State University and Oberlin College were the only two Ohio campuses out of 19 overall that scored top marks, Over 230 schools are ranked on LGBT-friendly policies, programs and practices.
Ohio University in Athens got 4.5 stars, as did Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. Receiving four stars was Bowling Green State University, followed with three and a half stars by Columbus College of Art and Design, Wright State University in Dayton and Miami University. Kenyon College and the University of Toledo got three stars, while Youngstown State University got one and a half. Central State University got one star.
Other universities not appearing on the index likely did not submit questionnaires.
Warren County confounds prosecutors
Lebanon, Ohio-The case of Patricia Dye, an adult who pretended to be a teenaged boy to get involved in a relationship with a high school girl, has prosecutors puzzled over Ohio law.
Dye is being charged with sexual imposition and attempted sexual imposition. While she allegedly had sexual contact with the girl before her 16th birthday, the age of consent in Ohio, the grand jury declined to indict on charges of unlawful sexual conduct with a minor. Prosecutors and some members of the public

are upset that there is no Ohio law barring people from presenting their gender as other than what society believes it to be.
Wright State University's Tracey Steele, director of the school's criminal justice program and a professor of sociology, pointed out that attempting to use such a law would be problematic, since gender is viewed more as a continuum in contemporary society instead of an absolute binary.
The girl that Dye is alleged to have had sexual contact with says that she knew Dye was a woman. A family in Middletown, however, also claimed that Dye pretended to be an adolescent male while dating their 16-year old daughter.
Target targeted for political donations
Minneapolis One of the nation's largest retailers found its pro-gay reputation tarnished after a $150,000 contribution to a political group supporting business-friendly candidates.
Unfortunately for Target executives, one of those candidates was Tom Emmer, a Republican running for governor who has taken a number of anti-gay stands.
The donation was not directly to Emmer, it was to Minnesota Forward, a nonpartisan group favoring pro-business candidates, but Emmer's anti-gay bona fides run deep, including support for a ministry whose outreach in schools includes a Christian band that, in the past, approved of radical Islam's calls for gays to be stoned to death.
Target's donation was an attempt to take advantage of January's Supreme Court ruling lifting political donation restrictions on corporations. In the ruling, the high court decided that corporations themselves had a right to free speech, and could directly donate to political campaigns, instead of only being able to chân-. nel funds specifically donated by employees.
Political advocacy group MoveOn.org, along with a number of LGBT organizations, called for a boycott of Target, and on August 6, a petition signed by over 240,000 people was delivered to the company.
Target chief executive Gregg Steinhafel apologized to employees on August 5, but the company has not pulled its support from Minnesota Forward, which says that it picks candidates to support based on their fiscal track records, not their social issue stands. D
