New York nuns forced to fight back against crazy gender law telling them to treat biological men as women at hospice

Just when we thought that gender ideology nonsense and pronoun tyranny had died off, there’s a story that reminds us how deeply entrenched it is in our society.

This week, the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, NY, who run Rosary Hill Home — a Catholic hospice for the impoverished — filed a lawsuit accusing the state of violating their constitutional rights. It relates to a 2024 law that requires the facility to affirm gender identity in regard to patients’ pronouns, room assignments and restroom usage.

New York’s LGBTQ Long-Term Care Facility Residents’ Bill of Rights was sponsored by Manhattan Borough President Brad Hoylman-Sigal when he was a state senator. The state’s health department has sent three letters to Rosary Hill Home warning them about compliance.

But the idea that anyone can change their biological sex is contrary to Catholic belief.

“We Sisters have taken care of patients from all walks of life, ideologies, and faiths,” Mother Marie Edward, general superior of the Hawthorne Dominicans, said in a statement. “We treat each patient with dignity and Christian charity. We have never had complaints. We cannot implement New York’s mandate without violating our Catholic faith.”
