Catholic hospital says it refused surgery to trans man over religious directives

I see. Well it sucks but it's the prejudice we all have to deal with. Many people who do not suffer from Dysphoria like us just can't wrap their heads around the "medical nessecity" that it is for us.

Sometimes it takes a good doctor to work around the system put in place by others.

My endo is only one of about 3 HRT providers in the whole St. Louis region. He works at a major, non religious university but he said non of the other university endocrinologists are "comfortable" prescribing HRT to trans patients. Despite him being well past retirement age, he continues to take new patients only if they are trans for this very reason.
