The jury awarded her two million dollars. Now, there is all kinds of medical and legal mumbo jumbo that says if the doctors follow the guidelines that the AMA and the psychiatric associations prescribe then they can’t be touched. Well, I’m guessing any jury that has human beings and includes women who have daughters will see this kid and see what they’ve done to her and think, “What if that had been my kid?” And then they’re going to punish these doctors to the tune of millions of dollars.
“The jury had concluded Einhorn and Chin’s conduct leading up to Varian’s double mastectomy marked a “departure from the standard of care,” the Epoch Times reported. The verdict only specifically applied to the plaintiff’s case, however, and not in general to minors receiving so-called “gender-affirming” care, National Review reported.”
Currently there are twenty eight other detransition lawsuits queued up for trial. Some time after the tenth multi-million dollar verdict is handed down, the malpractice insurance companies are going to raise their rates on psychiatrists and surgeons who do “gender-affirming care” and that will be the beginning of the end for these procedures in every jurisdiction except for the most rabid pro-LGBTQ legal environments. There are always exceptions. Places like California will write laws protecting these procedures from legal jeopardy but that still leaves federal courts where civil rights can be used to protect minors from medical harm.
And I think this will happen faster than most people imagine. The British and the Scandinavians put a stop to these pediatric trans-surgeries years ago because they saw that the results for the patients were terrible. The likelihood of suicide didn’t decrease after the procedures, it increased.
The other result of this lawsuit will be an incentive for young people who bought into the “trans idea” to see that they’re not the only ones who realized that they’d made a terrible mistake and use the courts to take vengeance on the so-called medical experts who proselytized them into ruining their bodies, health and minds by inflicting this permanent, terrible damage on them.
I wonder if in a few years the people who were responsible for the medical associations sanctioning these awful procedures won’t themselves be punished in some way. From my point of view they deserve prison time. But at the very least they should lose their licenses and be made an example. These are not innocent mistakes. Only severe mental illness or psychopathic disregard for the welfare of innocent children could explain allowing these surgeries to be prescribed for underage patients.
Well, the nightmare appears to be ending.
The shrinks and surgeons should all have their licenses pulled!
Incrementalism. Slippery slope. The Camels Nose. Unintended consequences. A bridge too far. At one point in the US and to various extents worldwide, homosexuals were actively persecuted, a state of affairs that most late 20th Century people considered to be too extreme. So, by consensus, the culture started “liberalizing” the attitude toward the 1%-2% of the population who self identifies as homosexual. Personally, I thought that a decent balance was achieved in the 1990’s concept of “don’t ask, don’t tell”. But, of course, enough is never enough. I started to get nervous at the gay marriage rights stage because I… Read more »
To clarify: I am not proselytizing against homosexuality. On a number of occasions I’ve worked around or in social situations & have had no problems with them at all. For several years, the guy in the next office from me was gay and we were pretty good friends.
Tom, both of your comments speak to a different aspect of the homosexual situation. These are human beings who don’t fit into the normal male and female relationship. Providing them with a reasonable way to relate to the rest of society seems to make sense. But at the same time the rights of other people to separate themselves from this subculture must now be defined and codified. We have the right to live in a world of normal people. If they don’t want to fit in they need to respect the wishes of others to live separately from them. That’s… Read more »
Pedophilia definitely isn’t restricted to homosexuals but I suspect without specific knowledge that it is especially prevalent within that community. When I was 6 maybe 7 or 8 years old, a cute little blond child, I have no real time tag, a house was being built a few lots up from our home in the 1950’s north metro Atlanta burb of Sandy Springs. It might have been a weekend because there was no one save one person working on the house at the time, an electrician though I have no idea how I knew or remember. I was curious and… Read more »
There is definitely a correlation between pedophilia and that population. I think they groom the young in order to recruit partners. That’s why there needs to be boundaries to protect normal people from this aberrant group. Things have gone way too far in the tolerance direction.
