Transgender man charges Dignity Health discriminated against him

A transgender man filed suit Wednesday against Dignity Health, the state’s largest private hospital chain, for canceling his hysterectomy operation after learning of his gender identity. When his lawyer told him of the hospital’s decision a day before the scheduled surgery in August, “I just fell to the floor, just crying and crying,” Evan Minton of Orangevale (Sacramento County) said in an interview. “It hurt because I was being discriminated against because of who I am.”
