Child Transgender Liability [semi-satire]

The delusion that a person can change his or her sex through drugs and surgery is now facing significant financial risk as the juvenile victims of this medical scam are pursuing damages for what was done to them. In New York, a now 22-year-old woman has won a $2 million judgment--$1.6 million in damages and $400,000 for future medical care--against the hospital and doctors who filled her full of puberty blockers since she was 13 and cut off her breasts when she was 16.

President Trump has cut off federal Medicaid and Medicare funding from hospitals that provide so-called "gender-affirming care" to children. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said "'gender affirming care' is not medicine, it is malpractice. Sex-rejecting procedures rob children of their futures." The US Supreme Court recently upheld a Tennessee law banning these procedures in its state.

Meanwhile, San Diego County Superior Court Judge Matthew Braner 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. "In California it is a person's constitutional right to receive transgender care at public expense," Braner said.

California Attorney General Bonta praised the ruling, saying "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."

I’ve encountered several cases where the gender identity switch was a result of an attached spirit of the opposite gender.

Drive out the spirit and heal the wound in their soul that opened the door for the spirit to enter and presto, normal again.

The astonishing thing is that the first doctor/hospital performed the first “gender intervention.” You would think that a staff lawyer or the insurance company would have instantly spotted the downstream liability. Even without the involvement of a lawyer or insurance, a prudent practitioner should have turned down the opportunity.

Ask any cosmetic surgeon and they’ll probably tell you that cosmetic patients often have post operative remorse. And that would be for straightening a nose. I can’t imagine the impact of waking without your penis or breasts. People frequently have no idea what they want. Then when the actually get it, they’re horrified.

I’ve had several things surged over my seven decades. Each was necessary and I was better off afterwards. But the finished product was never as good as the original undamaged part was prior to surgery.

I listened to a doctor on a podcast who said, “If you give puberty blockers to someone, they will likely NEVER experience an orgasm.” Wow. Just wow.

Just wondering --- when Rady Children's Hospital is sued (and you know it will be), is Judge Braner liable, or is the state of CA?

Never mind, forget I asked. It will take another Judge to decide that, and I'm afraid of what he would say.

Demonstrates the incredible power of groupthink and ideology.

Does anyone still wonder "why the Germans did it?"

I am sure that the “doctors” were told that the money was drying up for hip replacements. Vague assurances, like for the clot-shot, and practice chimps were probably enough.
