Many in the medical and political establishments are pushing “gender-affirming care” as the only humane means of treating children who believe they are not the sex they were born. This so-called care includes radical interventions such as puberty blocking, mastectomies, facial surgeries, and even genital removal. One recent study found that the median age for mastectomies in such cases is 16 — meaning that half of the girls whose breasts were cut off were under that age, and indeed, some were as young as twelve.
How do you stop such a destructive juggernaut? Lawyers! It seems to me that eventually suing doctors and others who pushed or cooperated with such drastic actions will become the equivalent for lawyers of the “Camp Lejeune” lawsuits currently proliferating and being advertised ubiquitously on television.
This hoped-for remedial has already started in England, where a class-action lawsuit will soon be filed against a now closed youth gender clinic. And now, Americans who were subjected to such interventions while under age — and later “de-transitioned” to the sex they were born — may be thinking about suing.
One such case looks about to be brought by “Chloe,” who had a mastectomy while under age. From the “Notice of Intent to Sue” letter sent to doctors by her attorneys:
Chloe is a biological female who suffered from a perceived psychological issue “gender dysphoria” beginning at 9 years of age. Under Defendants’ advice and supervision, between 13-17 years old Chloe underwent harmful transgender treatment, specifically, puberty blockers, offlabel cross-sex hormone treatment, and a double mastectomy. This radical, off-label, and inadequately studied course of chemical and surgical “treatment” for Chloe’s mental condition amounted to medical experimentation on Chloe.
As occurs in most gender dysphoria cases, Chloe’s psychological condition resolved on its own when she was close to reaching adulthood, and she no longer desires to identify as a male. Unfortunately, as a result of the so-called transgender “treatment” that Defendants performed on Chloe, she now has deep emotional wounds, severe regrets, and distrust for the medical system. Chloe has suffered physically, socially, neurologically, and psychologically. Among other harms, she has suffered mutilation to her body and lost social development with her peers at milestones that can never be reversed or regained.
Defendants coerced Chloe and her parents to undergo what amounted to a medical experiment by propagating two lies. First, Defendants falsely informed Chloe and her parents that Chloe’s gender dysphoria would not resolve unless Chloe socially and medical transitioned to appear more like a male. Second, Defendants also falsely informed Chloe and her parents that Chloe was at a high risk for suicide, unless she socially and medically transitioned to appear more like a male. Chloe has been informed by her parents that Defendants even gave them the ultimatum: “would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?”
Whether that is true remains to be proven, but if credible evidence of such behavior is brought before a jury, it could eventually lead to Alex Jones–level damages being imposed against the entire gender-affirming medical/industrial complex.
Yes, I know many trial lawyers will be reluctant to face accusations of “transphobia.” But in my experience — as a once-practicing trial attorney and one who has written often about such practitioners — when the smell of money is in the water, ideology is generally not the first priority.
Time will tell. But in the meantime, go Chloe! And please, do not accept a confidential settlement. If you strike paydirt, the country needs to know, because that will deter further such “medical” interventions.
A 10-Year-Old Got a Tattoo. His Mother Was Arrested.
In New York State, you must be at least 18 to get a tattoo. Elsewhere, the rules are different — and perceptions are changing.
Yes. Completely agree.
The medical professionals active in mutilating children mentally and emotionally should be stripped of their professional certifications and licenses, and incarcerated.
Omg, think bigger than a few. Let them go. Fight the real fight. The mutilated will rise up on their own. If not, fkm
I’ll add, duh, who’s on first......idiots
I’ll be a 10-digit awarding juror
Just amazed at where we are as a society:
Alex Jones expressed a bad opinion -- now owes about a trillion dollars for saying something that displeased people.
Doctors across the country are sexually mutilating children if the money is green. Big shrug (for now).
I’m gonna add a 3rd. My kids, my grandkids and my great grandkids know what they are. They grew up on a farm . They fkn know it as well as goats, chickens, horses and bees. No minupulating them. God doesn’t make mistakes but humans sure as hell do.
100% agree, sue them into oblivion
“Alex Jones expressed a bad opinion — now owes about a trillion dollars for saying something that displeased people”
I did not know about Alex Jones. Would that not fall under the Constitution? Freedom of speech and such.
One would think. But I believe he literally owes billions — like: lots and lots of billions — because his opinion about Sandy Hook caused emotional pain to families.
We have no Constitution.
I was waiting for the medical malpractice lawyers to catch up with a Camp Lejeune type of class action lawsuit for these gender changing perverts.
I am waiting for the TV ads.
