No doubt in my mind.

The issue (finally) being addressed is a stark demonstration of how even supposedly smart people (physicians and other health care providers) can be convinced to do outrageous things. It’s a far cry from conducting medical “experiments” on concentration camp inmates, but the mental process of getting to the point of doing something so egregiously wrong is no different.

It's a clear demonstration of two things, 1) how much money the medical industry, to include drug companies, felt the market held, and 2) based on the videos of staff saying evil things on what they would do to MAGA people, how many of the lunatic fringe have infiltrated the medical field

People have been motivated by ideology (shared beliefs), approval of others, and personal benefit to do bad things for as long as there have been people.

Ideologies change, personal benefits change, and what other people approve of change, but those motivators in one form or another never change. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be.

Remember the insanity over Algerian boxer Imane Khelif?

PBS had YET to update their propaganda over what normal people knew all along.
It's a MALE. The uncanny valley response is in us for a reason.

This asshole is STILL trying to convince us a Y chromosome is abnormal.

Y chromosome = MALE.

2 High-Profile Transgender Surgery Cases Head to Trial

The Center for American Liberty attorney hopes the cases of Chloe Cole and Luka Hein will build on the landmark $2 million Fox Varian verdict.

Two high-profile “detransitioner” cases involving young women whose bodies were irrevocably altered as teens by transgender surgery are expected to go to trial in early 2027.

​Chloe Cole, who drew national attention after speaking out against subjecting children to gender-reassignment procedures such as hormones and surgeries, has an April 5, 2027, trial date, according to Mark Trammell, CEO of the Center for American Liberty, which represents several detransitioners.

​Cole and others, known as detransitioners, stopped or reversed a medical gender transition they started earlier.

She sued Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and other health care providers in California after receiving life-altering hormones and a double mastectomy when she was 15.
​“Kaiser has done everything in its power to keep Chloe out of a courtroom and to ensure that members of the press are not in the gallery,” Trammell told The Epoch Times.

​For Cole, getting a trial date signifies a victory after years of legal wrangling and delays, she told The Epoch Times via text.

“After years of fighting for the voices of my generation to be heard, I’ve been given a date for trial. Every victim, every family who spoke up, every step in the culture, all led to this moment,” she said.

​“I’ve waited for my day in court, not just for my sake, but for that of every child who should’ve been protected from irreversible harm.”

Kaiser Hospitals did not immediately respond to a request for comment concerning the lawsuit moving forward. However, the medical group told local news outlets in 2023 that it followed medical standards of “gender affirming care.”

​Trammell also represents Luka Hein, whose case is expected to head to trial in early 2027.
​Hein’s Nebraska case names the University of Nebraska Medical Center Physicians, the Nebraska Medical Center, doctors, therapists, and others as defendants.

Like others, Hein had both breasts removed in 2018, when she was 16, as the first step in her “gender-affirming care,” according to the lawsuit.
Building Momentum

Both medical malpractice cases could solidify gains made in the landmark Fox Varian vs. Kenneth Einhorn case, which went to trial in New York last month. It marked the first time a detransitioner case received a jury verdict.
​The Jan. 30 verdict held a surgeon and psychologist liable for malpractice surrounding the double mastectomy Fox Varian received when she was 16.

The jury found her psychologist, Kenneth Einhorn, and surgeon, Dr. Simon Chin, liable for failing to communicate as required about Varian’s condition. One example was laid out in an October 2019 letter Einhorn wrote to Chin in support of Varian’s surgery, which contained errors and omitted coexisting mental issues, including autism and depression.

The New York jury awarded Varian $2 million—$1.6 million for pain and suffering, and $400,000 for future medical expenses.

​The Fox verdict sent shockwaves through the gender medicine industry, while offering hope for other detransitioners.

​Trammell said that while medical negligence lawsuits aren’t new, those involving transgender medicine are.

​“How do you put a price tag on a young woman having her breasts amputated and potentially never being able to have a child?” he asked.

​The hope is that detransitioners will now see they can win a legal victory.

​“I look at that as a tremendous, tremendous victory, not just for Fox Varian, but for other detransitioners who are maybe thinking about filing lawsuits,” he said.

Trammell said that the success of medical negligence cases depends on establishing that doctors and hospitals failed to meet the standard of care. That’s why reviews of gender medicine, such as the recent one by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), are important, he said.
​That federal report rejected medical interventions for children with gender dysphoria, recommending therapy instead.

​The HHS report noted that evidence underpinning the alleged benefits of medical interventions in pediatric gender dysphoria was “very uncertain.”

​Trammell said the pediatric gender industry appears to be based more on politics than science.

​He pointed to European countries changing their policies after studies showed problems with medical interventions for childhood gender dysphoria. The United States has lagged behind Europe in adjusting its approach to pediatric gender medicine, he said.

​“It’s taken the U.S., unfortunately, years to even begin to catch up. And even still, there’s a ton of money and political power behind it,” he said.

Tools for Justice

​Civil lawsuits can be tools for changing behavior on the market level, and the landmark Big Tobacco lawsuit settlement in 1998 is a case in point, he said.
​“I think these cases uniquely present the opportunity to put an end to this barbaric industry because ... it’s driven by money and power,” he said.

When doctors, hospitals, and insurers become financially liable for pediatric gender procedures, it will have a chilling effect, he said.

Trammell said states have already helped protect vulnerable children by passing laws banning transgender-related hormone treatments and surgery for minors.

However, state lawmakers could have a bigger impact by creating a carve-out on the statute of limitations for medical malpractice.

In many states, lawsuits must be filed within two years of the alleged malpractice, but it can take children much longer to realize the harm they suffered.

In Texas, 60 lawmakers signed a letter supporting a detransitioner’s case, heard Feb. 11 by the Texas Supreme Court, that was originally dismissed based on the expiration of the statute of limitations. The state lawmakers vowed to support legislation next year to extend the statute of limitations for detransitioners.

Soren Aldaco filed a lawsuit in 2023 asking for more than $1 million in damage, claiming doctors pressured her into gender-reassignment procedures, gave her “life-altering” hormones at 17, and later “botched” a double mastectomy.

Trammell said that at the very least, the statute of limitations on cases involving minors shouldn’t start until they turn 18.

“They should have five to 10 years at least to be able to make those decisions for things that happen to them as 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds,” he said.

Neil deGrasse Tyson Compares Trans Sports Inclusion to Segregation, Wants Athletes to Compete Based on ‘Hormone Ratios’

In an effort to support transgenderism, purported science booster Neil deGrasse Tyson says athletes should be categorized by hormone ratios, not gender, which would effectively end women’s sports.

Tyson appeared on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast when the subject of transgender athletes in sports came up, and during the conversation, Tyson suggested ending gender-based sports.

Maher brought up the disagreement that LGBTQ+ tennis legend Martina Navratilova has with Tyson over his support for transgenderism, to which Tyson asked, “Why does she have a beef with me?”

“Because you think like guys with dicks should get in the women’s swimming pool, basically,” Maher replied with a chuckle.

Tyson tried explaining what he actually said: “In this emergent space, where you have people expressing themselves on a gender spectrum, and you want to now compete in sports, that is still a frontier to be solved. And I don’t have the answer, but I can suggest one, whether or not it’ll work. Maybe we don’t compete by gender anymore, we compete on hormone ratios.”

The plaintiff's bar is just about done with boy scout and priest cases so going after the cruel gender-medical-complex. they will peels multi-millions of the insane programs the weird-left's
sex altering fantasy.

Wouldn't it be ironic if, twenty years down the road, all these gender-affirming surgeries turned out to be intended to give surgeons plenty of time and practice to develop techniques to create the "perfect boy" or the "perfect girl" for the Epsteins, Clintons, Mountbatten-Windsors, etc. of the world?

Just a stray thought, not a conspiracy theory.

I think someone already tried this in the 1930's.

Where are the parents, friends, teachers and other adult trans cheerleaders egging them on in all this? Simply bypassed because there is no money in suing them?

California Judge Orders Children's Hospital to Continue 'Gender-Affirming Surgeries' for Minors

Earlier, we told you about the ever-growing list of hospitals across the nation that are no longer providing "gender-affirming surgeries" to minors. One of those hospitals was Rady Children's Hospital in California. The change in policy is, unfortunately, less a response to the immoral practice that is "gender-affirming care" for minors and more likely the result of a $2 million lawsuit won by detransitioner Fox Varian, who sued her psychologist and the surgeon who performed a double mastectomy on her at age 16.

But now a California judge has apparently ruled that Rady's Children's Hospital must continue mutilating and sterilizing children.

A judge with the San Diego County Superior Court has ruled that Rady Children’s Hospital must continue offering so-called “gender affirming care” to minors, even after the hospital announced it would stop providing such services.

Judge Matthew Braner ruled last week that the hospital must continue to offer transgender procedures, including things such as puberty-blockers and other hormone treatments, to patients under 19. The hospital had previously announced in January that it would stop offering the procedures. This prompted the California Attorney General’s Office to sue, arguing that ending these procedures violated state law.

“Rady Children’s Health has chosen to violate its merger agreement and California law in response to the Trump Administration’s illegal campaign against providers of gender-affirming care,” said Attorney General Bonta at the time. “Rady flagrantly disregarded its legal obligations by unilaterally deciding to preemptively comply with the Administration’s demands and cease medically necessary care for roughly 1,450 patients. We will not allow Rady to violate its obligations to its patients and the State. We will fight to uphold the law and ensure Californians can access gender-affirming care without facing unfair roadblocks.”

Attorneys for Rady argued the hospital would be at “catastrophic risk” of losing federal funding should it continue these procedures because it would be at odds with a December declaration from Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The declaration stated that so-called “gender affirming care” for minors does not meet “professionally recognized standards of health care.”

It's simply incredible that Democrats and activist judges believe they're not only morally and legally right to force providers to perform these grotesque procedures on children, but that they vow to punish anyone who says no.

How can a judge dictate what medical services a hospital offers?

A judge might order that it be on the list of services provided, but that doesn't mean any doctors or nurses will provide it. If the threat of lawsuit is seen as a serious threat, nobody is going to risk their license and everything they own to do it.

Malpractice insurance may choose to not cover the people or the hospital against such lawsuits. That would kill the procedures right there.

This video is pretty amusing, and the “It” attorney even plays the “I can’t breath card!”

SMH.

^^^ I could almost finish watching that video...

Holy crap, reminds me of Ron White's saying

I had the right to remain silent
just not the ability.....

Not sure what sh'it was thinking but that's not going to go over well in the license review meeting....

And what the heck, Oklahoma? How did that person get out of Colorado....

Funny, towards the end of the video, when all the extra cops came in, i thought "I don’t know how many cops it will take to cuff it, but I know how many they’re going to use."

"I CAN'T BREED!!!"

"Well, duh..."
