Except their lawsuits cost the victims of their temper tantrums. Even if the litigants don’t win in court a defense must be mounted and funded.

A man undergoing genital mutilation surgery followed by taking a high level of female steroids does not make him a woman in any place in the country except San Fransicko.

A transgendered is one who identifies mentally with the opposite sex. I.e, man trapped in a woman’s body” and vice versa.

It used to be that there was a pretty high bar to progress from that to “sexual re orientation” surgery, including years of hormones and lifestyle requirements, but that has all fallen by the wayside along the slippery slope and anyone can get mutilated just because they want to.

Oh my, did I just mix a metaphor? :)

Anyway, this creature is not “transgendered” it is “transsexual,” and the blurring of the words and their concomitant meanings is, no doubt, deliberate.

The “important issue” here is not that a gender-confused man wants breast augmentation surgery. The “important issue” is that by hook or by crook, they’re going to try to figure out a way to shut down every Catholic hospital, every Catholic social services/adoption agency, and every Catholic school in America on account of their phony charges of “discrimiation.”

And it’s no joke. They’re succeeding, incrementally but rapidly, in Canada, England, and across Europe. They’ve already shut down Catholic Adoption Services in SF and Boston, Catholic hispoitals in Canada that won;t do abortions and tubal ligations, Catholic pharmacists who won’t fill prescriptions for intentionally-lethal drugs... connect the dots.

And it won’t just be Catholics. It’ll be any private or church-related institution of any denomination which does not go along with the pro-death and sex-and-gender ethical chaos.

Just MNSHO, but if the hospital says it is not ‘God’s will’ that this individual get breast enlargement surgery, I have to wonder what their logic is in providing this type of surgery at all.

No person or hospital, should be forced to do anything which is against their conscience. Go some where else.

Hastings says her plastic surgeon told her Seton wouldn't allow him to operate on transgender patients...

Hospitals shouldn't be required to maim their patients. This used to go without saying.

I hope that the local bishop doesn't cave.

The Headline is an “oxymoron”-How can “she” be a woman if “she”’s “Transgendered”..?? Boy sometimes stupidity that comes from liberals (reporters) really astounds me!..

The criteria shoudl involve returning an injured, diseased, or malformed breast to "normalcy" --- normalcy=health.

Thus if a woman's breast were deformed because of cancer surgery, or lacerated from a car accident or whatever, the surgery would be ethical.

I don't see the ethics of breast-augmentation in a healthy breast. In fact, I believe such surgery will maim underlying tissue (the milk-producing glands, together with the network of accompanying ducts) which should not be done unless there is some underlying injury or pathology.
