Doctors Mutilated Her Breasts When She Was Just 13. Now 18 and Detransitioning, She's Suing.

Expect to see a lot more of these kinds of stories in the future: a young woman who had her breasts surgically removed at age 13 is suing the hospital and the doctors who performed the operation.

Kayla Lovdahl, who goes by the pseudonym Layla Jane, is now 18 and detransitioning—or returning to live her life as a female human. She was born with XX chromosomes and lived her early life as a girl before tumbling headfirst into the world of gender dysphoria. She filed the lawsuit last week in California‘s San Joaquin County Superior Court and accused the ghouls who approved the procedure of spending only 75 minutes evaluating her before recommending the drastic actions starting when she was only 12. Instead of advising mental health treatment or further evaluation, they instead quickly put her on puberty blockers and testosterone and gave her a double mastectomy when she was 13.

President Joe Biden will continue to call those who oppose this kind of stuff being done to our youth “hateful” and “bigoted,” but you can be sure Layla’s name and story will never come out of his mouth.

Layla, who goes by the pseudonym Laya Jane, specifically names doctors Lisa Kristine Taylor, Winnie Mao Yiu Tong, Susanne Watson, and Mirna Escalante as defendants along with the Kaiser Foundations Hospitals Inc.

The @Liberty_Ctr cases against Kaiser that Layla Jane & Chloe Cole, w/@PaulJonna & Charles LiMandri & Thomas More Society, are landmark cases aiming to put an end to the immoral, barbaric, and nature-denying mutilation of American children by woke docs. Proud to lead this fight!

The 35-page filing reads:

This case is about a team of doctors who decided to perform a damaging, imitation sex change experiment on [Lovdahl], then a twelve-year-old vulnerable girl struggling with complex mental health co-morbidities.

[Lovdahl] needed care, attention, and psychotherapy… Not cross-sex hormones and mutilating surgery.

The suit goes on to claim that Susanne Watson, a clinical psychologist and clinical director of Kaiser Foundation Hospitals’ Transgender Clinic at the Oakland Medical Center, rushed Layla’s diagnosis and basically convinced her she was transgender:

During the sit-down, Watson is said to have not disclosed any of the lasting health risks associated with a young child taking ‘off-label puberty blockers and high doses of powerful male hormone drugs’ – after discerning Lovedahl was transgender.

Taylor and Tong, a endocrinologist and plastic surgeon employed under the Oakland-based hospital system’s umbrella, all agreed with their colleagues’ assessment, starting her on puberty blockers and testosterone at age 12, and performing the double mastectomy a few months later.

The trio, the suit claims, ‘immediately, and negligently, affirmed [Lovdahl’s] self-diagnosed transgenderism without adequate psychological evaluation,’ and ‘failed to inform [Lovdahl] of the significant increased suicide risk that would continue to exist even after completing transition.’

The suit also says that doctors coerced her parents into agreeing to the transition by pulling out what it’s already becoming a tired old trope in the trans cult: “It is better to have a live son than a dead daughter.” This increasingly used scare tactic claims that your daughter will kill herself if you don’t allow her to have her breasts removed years before she can even drive a car or cast a ballot or get a tattoo.

It’s a sick—but lucrative—cult, and even though those pushing this kind of stuff say that they’re helping young people, Layla’s case clearly shows that harsh, life-long consequences can be the result.

Layla will be represented by Harmeet Dhillon’s Center For American Liberty, the same outfit that is representing another prominent detransitioner, Chloe Cole. Watch as the two young people discuss their ordeals:

Layla Jane recently filed her Complaint with Kaiser. Go LJ!! @Liberty_Ctr https://t.co/akLms3e4Xa

Unfortunately, sad stories like this will continue to emerge as long as these outrages are allowed to continue. Kids should not be used as surgical guinea pigs and weapons in this bizarre and ghoulish culture war we’ve found ourselves in. One can only hope these doctors and the Kaiser Hospitals are forced to pay hand over fist.

Here’s Dhillon and Chloe Cole on the now-defunct Tucker Carlson Tonight show explaining their case:

Thank you @TuckerCarlson for having @ChoooCole and me on tonight to announce the latest legal action by @Liberty_Ctr.
We formally sent a letter of intent to sue Kaiser Permanente and Chloe’s doctors for mutilating her.

Update: This story has been updated to make clear that Layla Jane is a pseudonym used by Kayla Lovdahl.

I am in complete agreement. When I have chosen who to support, I look at who the Left most fears.

And they don’t fear Trump because he is bad for the country, because anything that is bad for the country is good for them.

For me, it was the blind push to mandate vaccinations at all costs.

Large numbers of people left the field due to this, further degrading the quality of care one could expect as a patient.

That was on them.

I just heard AMC cancelled problems with “gender affirming care” film, because of trans-activists. One point from film: transgender-id

FR needs a Josef Mengele Award to bestow recognition on the monsters who benefit from butchering and destroying children’s lives. His legacy lives on!


YES!

At 13, she didn’t have the authority to allow them to remove her breasts, so I hope she’s suing her parents as well.
