Transgender Man Sues Catholic Hospital For Refusing to Perform Scheduled Hysterectomy: VIDEO
Transgender Man Sues Catholic Hospital For Refusing to Perform Scheduled Hysterectomy: VIDEO
The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a transgender man who was refused a hysterectomy by a California hospital.
The lawsuit alleges that Dignity Health’s Mercy San Juan Medical Center in Sacramento discriminated against 35-year-old Evan Michael Minton when he sought a hysterectomy as part of his transition from female to male. It is claimed that the hospital abruptly canceled the procedure a day before it was due to take place.

Minton’s doctor performed the hysterectomy at another Sacramento-area hospital three days later, but he said the initial denial still causes frustration and disappointment.

The Sacramento Bee reports:
The case pits the desires of transgender patients seeking sexual reassignment surgery against Catholic doctrines, which bar sterilizations such as hysterectomies in most instances. And it comes as federal and state lawmakers across the country are attempting to roll back protections of transgender persons, according to the ACLU, which joined the firm Covington & Burling in filing the lawsuit.
“Given the national context, where legal protections for transgender people are under attack, it’s particularly important that in states like California the law is really clear,” said Elizabeth Gill, senior staff attorney for the ACLU Northern California.
She said the hospital’s denial is a “clear-cut case of discrimination,” based on the state’s Unruh Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination against individuals based on their sex, race, religion, age, disability, marital status or sexual orientation. The suit seeks $4,000, the minimal amount of damages under the law, Gill said.
Said Dignity Health Mercy San Juan officials in a statement:
“We have not been served with the complaint and cannot speak to the allegations until we have the opportunity to review them.
“What we can share is that at Dignity Health Mercy San Juan Medical Center, the services we provide are available to all members of the communities we serve without discrimination. We understand how important this surgery is for transgender individuals, and were happy to provide Mr. Minton and his surgeon the use of another Dignity Health hospital for his surgery within a few days.
“We do not provide elective sterilizations at Dignity Health’s Catholic facilities in accordance with the Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services (ERDs) and the medical staff bylaws.”
Minton, who came out as transgender six years ago, said: “It’s almost magical, just to be able to be congruent with who I am – to have my outer body match my inner self. When I got my complete body, I said, ‘The rest of my life starts here.’ ”

More than 100 students and local supporters from across Texas rallied today, April 25, against hate and spoke out to protect their LGBTQ communities. Add your voice to the movement for full equality here.
Student leaders from five cities around the Lone Star state joined members of the community for an afternoon of speeches, marching, and silent protests against the 25 harmful anti-LGBTQ bills currently being proposed in the Texas state legislature.
University of Austin
The Students Against Hate rallies united Texan LGBTQ students and their allies to increase local and national awareness of proposed legislation threatening harm to LGBTQ people in Texas, stand together to end hate, and stop oppressive legislation.
We’ve teamed up with @TFN @HRC @EqualityTexas @ACLUTx & @TransTexas to protect LGBTQ Texans. Add your name to help! t.co/v2Mjn5PWil

Participating universities included University of Texas at Austin, University of Houston, University of Texas San Antonio, University of Rio Grande Valley Edinburg, Rice University, and Texas State University.
University of Houston
Becca, a graduate student at the University of Houston rally said, “These attempts to push certain groups out of public life would place gender-expansive groups at risk for further harassment and abuse. It would place trans women of color at even higher risk for violence and murder, when we already know those rates are incredibly high.”
Becca went on to call their peers to action by saying, “If you believe in compassion, dignity, integrity, hope, justice, and the beauty of diversity that makes UH feel like home, please make a call to your state senators and representatives, and ask them to oppose unjust legislation targeting and bringing harm to our lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex friends.”

By rallying together, these students showed their community, state government, and the nation that the LGBTQ community, including transgender youth, deserves to be respected, protected, and safe.
The Students Against Hate rallies are a part of a larger campaign with GLAAD, the Texas Freedom Network, Equality Texas, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC), ACLU of Texas, and the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) to accelerate acceptance and equality for LGBTQ Texans.
