OK, ACLU. If you absolutely insist we perform this operation.....

[Beave Meister]

Oh the horror. I’m sure they searched every available hospital nearby, in the state, in the country and this was the only one who could have done this operation...what a crock of BS,

Doctors who treat mental illness with a scalpel belongs in prison

[miss marmelstein]

Absolutely vile organization.

[Slyfox]

If you think about it transgender surgery, genital mutilation and abortion are all real bad.

[marron]

First, mental illness is celebrated. Then it becomes compulsory.

His doctor eventually performed the procedure at another Sacramento-area hospital, but the initial denial still causes frustration and disappointment, Minton said.

Another Coercive Leftist Ugly.

Obviously a strategic set-up. They just went hospital-shopping to set up their lawfare artillery and destroy Catholic healthcare.

I do feel sorry for this Evan person, who is being used as a political pawn as well as being sexually maimed. Exploiting patients who are mental ill or emotional distressed is disgusting, unethical, and should be considered criminal.

so now, we are saying that we have a constitutional right, to have the so called sex change operation????

It is a constitutional right, and every hospital must offer that particular procedure, as a matter of course???

[the OlLine Rebel]

First of all, this tranSEXUAL (the proper word) stuff is PURELY COSMETIC - I.E., PURELY ELECTIVE.

Thus, any hospital should have the right to refuse an elective issue.

Next, I hear Johns Hopkins stopped doing this years ago because they think the risks outweigh the benefits (including PSYCHOLOGICAL issues). Why don’t they go for Hopkins? Why bother these little places?

[NorthMountain]

It’s a buzzcut chick.

Are you telling me in NoCal they couldn’t find another hospital to do this procedure? Another case of the left trying to sock it to a faith-based hospital on purpose.

Since the patient’s “problem” is mental, perhaps the hospital should offer to perform a brain transplant instead...

[Scrambler Bob]

“No one should have to go through that.”
= = =

Hey, most of life requires going through difficulties.
So get over ‘that’.

Now, to streamline this transition process I suggest that the ‘Mystery Gender 1*’ person coordinate with someone of ‘Mystery Gender 2*’ and they get head transplants with each other.

Just read yesterday that we will have brain translants by 2018.

*Mystery Gender term invented because I cannot follow the ‘correct’ male/female, he/she, transitioning/transitioned, NewSpeak in today’s news.

Once the courts decided that people of the same sex can marry and another court decides that businesses MUST provide service to gay weddings whether they object or not, then all bets are off.
