    I'm confused as to why they scheduled the surgery to begin with if it went so blatantly against the regulations.

      Probably her doctor scheduled it and then the hospital administration got wind of it and cancelled it. He then did the operation at another hospital.

        It was a setup.

          The Catholic hospital set itself up? They were the ones that either scheduled it or agreed to the scheduling, after all.

          Also, to respond to something from earlier:

          It's not fascist. While it is true that fascism would be against the hospital allowing religious beliefs to guide any policies, it would also be very much against transgenderism. "Authoritarianism" would be a better word to use.

            Test case, yes; expect to lose, probably not.

            I expect them to lose but I doubt they expect it.

              Test case. Same reason Scopes decided to start teaching ToE and Rosa Parks refused to get up.


              I suspect the white guy was in on that last one - they had been trying for a while to get her arrested. The law allowed such rudeness, but black or white, asking a lady to give up her seat is REALLY beyond the pale rude for the time.
