The Supreme Court on Monday turned down an appeal from a Catholic hospital in California that was sued after refusing to perform a hysterectomy for a transgender man.
The court's denial, issued without comment, sends the lawsuit back to state court for further proceedings against the hospital and avoids, for now, the issue of when claims of religious freedom can trump anti-discrimination laws.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch said the court should have taken the case.
The dispute arose when Evan Minton arranged with Mercy San Juan Medical Center in Sacramento to schedule a hysterectomy, which he considered a medically necessary step in his transition. After a nurse called to discuss the surgery and Minton mentioned that he's transgender, the hospital canceled the appointment.
Minton was able to schedule the operation three days later at a non-Catholic hospital. But he sued Mercy, claiming that it violated a state law guaranteeing full and equal access to public accommodations, regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, or gender expression.
But Minton, represented by the ACLU, told the Supreme Court that the hospital routinely performed hysterectomies and that it canceled his appointment only after learning he was transgender.
"When I heard the news I remember being so devastated that I collapsed to the ground. I felt distraught and helpless that the hospital was refusing to treat me simply because of who I am," he told a congressional hearing last year.

SCOTUS = Supreme Clowns Of The US
So the appeal went to SCOTUS before state made a ruling is that it?
Is this just a procedure rejection?
If they bend on this they will have to bend on everything. They should refuse and dare the govt to close them down.
I can’t keep up with the terminology. Does “transgender man” mean “woman”? Or is it something even more psychotically devious? I mean I don’t doubt that there’s a man crazy enough to pretend to be a woman and then demand a hysterectomy to “validate” himself/herself/itself.
A Catholic hospital won’t do a hysterectomy on a woman for sterilization purposes, although a medical justification is not hard to identify in a large number of cases.
No, ya goof, they were refusing to remove a healthy organ to pander to your mental illness. It had nothing to do with "who you are". If you went to them and asked them to remove your thumb because you thought it would look cool to have a hand without a thumb, they would have refused that also.
OK...One more time....
A “transgender man” is really a woman playing like she’s a man...Right????

Or it could just go to a non-Catholic hospital. But that's not really the point, is it?
?
Any “religious” concerns do not compute with this Supreme Court. At least in reference to Christian religions.
Yeah...That’s what I asked also...I can’t keep up with all these “pronouns” and stuff...
If the hospital performed hysterectomies for any reason besides medical necessity they put themselves in this position. If their policy did not permit hysterectomies for sterilization their defense is valid and plain common sense.
Homosexuals love going to Catholic institutions/businesses solely for the purpose of suing them and destroying them.
Maybe they refused because there was no medical necessity to perform a hysterectomy on a perfectly healthy woman, no matter what delusions she is operating under. This entire thing is just too insane.
It’s only going to get worse. We aren’t even close to plumbing the depths of this perverted insanity.
>>>I can’t keep up with all these “pronouns” and stuff...<<<
It’s easier when you remember that they ALL fall under the general heading of Sodomite.
The confusion vanishes when you understand that it means “make-believe” or “fake” in Newspeak.
