    Girl Sues Hospital for Removing Her Breasts at Age 13 (theepochtimes.com)

    The defendants carried out “ideological and profit-driven medical abuse” when they prescribed her puberty blockers and hormones and, later, performed a double mastectomy, Charles LiMandri, one of the lawyers representing the plaintiff, Layla Jane, said in a statement.

    Jane, now 18, was influenced by people online when she was just 11 and told her parents that she was a boy, prompting them to ask for guidance from doctors.

    “Defendants did not question, elicit, or attempt to understand the psychological events that led Kayla to the mistaken belief that she was transgender, nor did they evaluate, appreciate, or treat her multi-faceted presentation of co-morbid symptoms,” the suit reads.

    “Instead, Defendants assumed that Kayla, a twelve-year-old emotionally troubled girl, knew best what she needed to improve her mental health and figuratively handed her the prescription pad. There is no other area of medicine where doctors will surgically remove a perfectly healthy body part and intentionally induce a diseased state of the pituitary gland misfunction based simply on the young adolescent patient’s wishes.”


    I hope more of these lawsuits will happen so these crazy doctors, psychiatrists and hospitals wake up and realize the damage their causing

    It will be interesting when the hospital and doctors respond to this lawsuit. According to the article, Jane was 11 when she decided she was a male. The surgery was performed when she was 13. I'd like to know what counseling, etc. was going on during those 2 years and what Jane was doing from surgery until she "detransitioned" at age 18.

    I feel bad for the young woman. She changed her mind, it may or may not be actionable.

    Sorry. Where the $@&95& were the parents? I feel for the young woman who was victimized three times-
    1. Online goofballs
    2. Clueless parents
    3. Greedy medical folks

    Up is down, black is white, I’m a girl, at least for tonight. And, that is MY truth :rolleyes:

    Try actually reading the article before weighing in. You only would have had to make it to the third paragraph.

    "Jane, now 18, was influenced by people online when she was just 11 and told her parents that she was a boy, prompting them to ask for guidance from doctors."

    I think this is bogus looking at source of the article.

    The Epoch Times is a far-right international multi-language newspaper and media company affiliated with the Falun Gong new religious movement.

    “For years, The Epoch Times was a small, low-budget newspaper with an anti-China slant that was handed out free on New York street corners. But in 2016 and 2017, the paper made two changes that transformed it into one of the country’s most powerful digital publishers.

    The changes also paved the way for the publication, which is affiliated with the secretive and relatively obscure Chinese spiritual movement Falun Gong, to become a leading purveyor of right-wing misinformation.

    First, it embraced President Trump, treating him as an ally in Falun Gong’s scorched-earth fight against China’s ruling Communist Party, which banned the group two decades ago and has persecuted its members ever since. Its relatively staid coverage of U.S. politics became more partisan, with more articles explicitly supporting Mr. Trump and criticizing his opponents.

    Around the same time, The Epoch Times bet big on another powerful American institution: Facebook. The publication and its affiliates employed a novel strategy that involved creating dozens of Facebook pages, filling them with feel-good videos and viral clickbait, and using them to sell subscriptions and drive traffic back to its partisan news coverage.”

    It’s sad that you feel the need to try and belittle me with your post(s). What makes you think I didn’t read the article?

    My post references the online people and the parents. Just because the parents asked medical people for guidance doesn’t mean they weren’t clueless. Knowledge of facts and wisdom can be mutually exclusive.

    It's legit. Here is a link to the lawsuit in PDF form, Kayla Lovdahl v. Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, Inc., et al.

    Calm down, spanky. You were the one who asked in indignation, "Where the $@&95& were the parents?" They were apparently there for all of it per the article. Under California law they also would have had to sign the consent forms for the various procedures.

    Luckily. this is a rare occurrence. "Some studies suggest that rates of regret have declined over the years as patient selection and treatment methods have improved. In a review of 27 studies involving almost 8,000 teens and adults who had transgender surgeries, mostly in Europe, the U.S and Canada, 1% on average expressed regret. For some, regret was temporary, but a small number went on to have detransitioning or reversal surgeries, the 2021 review said." Still it is very unfortunate for the 1%.

    The lawsuit may be real, but I still question the source. Since they deal in misinformation one would think the mods would delete the link to the website, but that’s just me.

    This may help explain the statistics you copied, but didn't source:

    I feel bad for her too. I feel bad for her that she didn’t have parents that would protect her, a trans community/industry that out-recruits Urban Meyer, and a predatory medical industry that would gladly take her money.
