Tuesday was supposed to be a big day for Evan Michael Minton. The Fair Oaks resident packed his bags for the hospital, said a prayer and counted down the hours until he would undergo the hysterectomy that would take him one step further in his transition from female to male.
Instead he spent the day on the phone with doctors and lawyers after Mercy San Juan hospital in Carmichael abruptly canceled the procedure on religious grounds.
The surgery, part of Minton’s transition to a fully male body, had been scheduled for three weeks but was called off Monday as hospital officials were preparing his admissions paperwork.
Both Minton and his surgeon, Dr. Lindsey Dawson, said they were caught unawares by the hospital’s decision.
“I was a little bit blindsided by it,” said Dawson, a Sacramento obstetrician gynecologist in private practice who said the majority of her hysterectomies are done at Mercy San Juan.
“When I got that news, I fell on the ground and cried uncontrollably,” said Minton, a 35-year-old state legislative aide who has been preparing for the procedure for the past year. “It hurt because of the fact that I’m being discriminated against based on my innate and immutable characteristics, and it also hurt because it put everything in flux.”

This Catholic hospital stood tall.
But you can bet the weight and power of the Feds and the State will soon begin to take their flesh.
U.S. is rapidly going Sweden-tier insane.
He didn’t pack his bags and prepare for surgery.
SHE did.
And she will never be a he, just a mutilated female.
This “dude” was, is, and will always be a female.
... Mutilation doesn’t change that.
Doesn’t a hysterectomy presuppose the existence of an actual uterus to be removed? What part of the Hippocratic Oath to first do no harm would allow any surgeon, Catholic or otherwise, to cut open someone in order to feed a delusion?
My problem with the person in this article is..... instead of spending tons of their money (and likely ours as well) on this, would this person spend that much money to aid the poor, or battered women, or help a neighbor ????
Sorry, misread the article. The patient is a woman.
Hysterectomy really does nothing. If she is serious about her “transition” she needs to schedule a chromosome exchange.
“...his transition from female to male...”?????????? Can’t the Newspaper afford an editor? One that’s at least passed bonehead English ?
Or maybe the Bee just needs a fourth grade sex Ed class? To tell the difference

Taking parts out doesnt change dna.
Women who have had hysterectomies, are not men because they have had hysterectomies.
This is the medical commumity taking advantge of mentally ill people. Its like agreeing to do surgery on healthy people who want limbs removed or to be paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
Or maybe this mixed- up poor excuse for an article is the result of the Bee people HAVING had a public screw-all sex Ed class?
Soooo...still a woman, it sounds like. Not doing much to convince me you're a man, Ms. Lady.
#RealMenDon'tNeedHysterectomies
Until every chromosome pair in every cell in her body is changed from XX to XY,or whatever, she will always be a female......
Men can’t have hysterectomies
This is nothing but government sanctioned mutilation.
All to normalize a mentally deranged person with body dysphoria.
[Sorry, misread the article. The patient is a woman.]
Don’t be, you need a score card for these lunatics.
This is very confusing without any pictures, maybe even then!
