Ryle said that Saint Francis Memorial Hospital has been performing gender confirmation surgery for decades. "In 1973, Saint Francis Memorial started doing gender realignment, so this is not new," Ryle said. "A hospital on the Westside of San Francisco turned a patient away the day of their surgery. That's who Saint Francis is — doing this kind of work for almost 50 years." Bay Area Reporter
