[This is especially tragic because Catholic Church owns a lot of hospitals and is the largest private provider of healthcare in the US.](https://www.americanprogress.org/article/growing-market-power-among-catholic-hospitals-restrains-access-to-reproductive-health-care/)
Doing it during Transgender Awareness Week is extra cruel.
So they just have like, direct authority over every single Catholic hospital?
That’s kinda fucked up
Of fucking course the article quotes bishop barren, really wish that man would disappear from public life. This is really bad but we will also see how much latitude local hospitals are given in implementing this. Really wish this bigotry would leave the church but I’m not optimistic
the stranglehold that the catholic church has over american hospitals is what makes this so devastating. the societal elite doesn’t want to trans people to be considered human or have decent lives whatsoever
