male pronouns but “he” was going to get a hysterectomy???

"... suing a Catholic hospital in New Jersey for canceling his hysterectomy surgery..." HIS hysterectomy? Bizzaro!

Conforti’s problem lies well above his waist.

these are bonafide mentally sick people that society needs to discourage not encourage.

How does a man who thinks he’s a woman and doesn’t play one on tv have a hysterectomy? What am I missing and how does the Catholic Church play a part?!

He She had “long struggled with depression and anxiety rooted in the need to align himself with his true sex her delusions that she was really a man.

If it has a uterus it is not a he, nor is it a man.

Monty Python did a great skit on this very thing:

“but he hasn’t got a womb!”

A man cannot have a hysterectomy. It is a woman in need of psychiatric care, not mutilation surgery.

First, the "head nurse" is not a hospital administrator or insurance company spokesman, so I highly doubt she was told this by any nurse. Unless she has something in writing or taped the conversation, she is lying.

Second, it is up to her insurance carrier to deem a procedure "medically necessary, " and I doubt her insurance company would cover this procedure (even with a doctor recommendation) because of only a "possible" link of cancer related issues. The whole story sounds suspicious and I am confident the hospital had every right to deny the surgery.

Finally, this hospital should seriously consider denying privileges to the doctor who agreed to do this procedure. I would bet he is money-hungry quack.

Don’t go to Catholic hospitals for that kind of thing.

When we lose the sense of the normal then the abnormal will become normal. That is the goal here. These kind of people should not be encouraged. Hello NYer, I have finally left the looney state of NY for the bizarre state of Fla, at least my vote counted down here. There was no hope in NY. I was surprised to see that Fla has 20 electoral votes and NY has 18

A transgender man mentally deranged woman is suing a Catholic hospital in New Jersey

... When the article begins with a lie, it's hard to know whether I should read any further.

[arthurus]

“Medically necessary” because obviously some dastard stuffed those unwanted parts into her body and they are focusing her mental problems.

How our language is being deliberately screwed, ‘transgendered man’ is obviously not equal to ‘transgendered woman’ until the antecedents and precedents are exposed and settled. This tends to unsettle my last meal as my mind wants to shut-down.

My desire is for this to be done in private and not require me to pay attention or money to perpetuate this operation. I am sufficiently a libertarian that I do not care what one does behind closed doors, but when you require me to have my face rubbed in it, I STRONGLY OBJECT!

The procedure was deemed “medically necessary” to treat Conforti, who was diagnosed with gender dysphoria in 2014, court documents said. He had “long struggled with depression and anxiety rooted in the need to align himself with his true sex.”

I'm pretty sure that if a uterus is present, the chromosomes are "XX"--female. Or, I will put it this way: I am aware of conditions in which a person with XY chromosomes can physically resemble a female and truly thinks that he is female, since male organs did not develop. But I know of absolutely no condition in which someone who has XY chromosomes actually develops a uterus. Only true XX females do that.

Performing a hysterectomy on this woman without a valid medical reason is medical malpractice. And feeding her delusions by calling her "he" is unconscionable--it is abuse towards a mentally ill person.
