Bottom line: Her parents gave their approval of this irreversible surgery on their minor daughter.
The parents were misguided, confused and intimidated, but nonetheless, they must have signed their approval for the moneymaking procedures to begin.
She probably doesn’t want to sue her parents, one, because she cares for them, and two, because they very likely have no significant assets (deep pockets) to pay her any worthwhile settlement.
In a few years, this kind of rude awakening will be happening so often, new laws will need to be written so that the de-transitioned can still sue.
Same way sexual harassment is less fixed by how many years have gone by before the victim presses charges.
empathy politics.
I was listening to one of these heartbreaking stories. The parents strenuously objected and dragged their feet for many months. The parents were put under relentless pressure and threatened with losing custody if they did not support “her choice”. Finally, the parents were convinced by psychiatrists that if they didn’t support this, she would likely commit suicide and it would be their fault.
For this reason, she doesn’t blame the parents - and I admire her for that.
Of course, I would never have listened to shrinks - and I never would have stopped fighting it. But not everyone is as bullheaded as me.
In California the cause of action would be battery. The statute of limitations is one year after the 18thbirthday. I do think we’ll see an influx of these that will strongly damage this butchery industry. We’re already seeing short term reversals for this madness. God willing we’ll defeat these soulless bastards and we’ll let Him worry about the affixing of millstones around their necks
None of this really matters.
The defendants in this lawsuit will file a third-party claim against the parents to spread the liability to other parties who should absolutely be sharing it.
"You're telling me that this surgery was unnecessary and caused permanent harm to you? Well, great ... that means the person or persons who signed the consent form on your behalf are the ones who really should be sued here."
