RIGHT HERE IN WESTCHESTER----DETRANSITIONER AWARDED MILLIONS IN FIRST MALPRACTICE VERDICT--"THIS IS HOW IT ALL ENDS"

For those of us following this case:

On Friday, a young woman who had her healthy breasts removed at age 16 for supposed transgender “medical care” was awarded $2 million, marking the first successful detransitioner malpractice lawsuit in the nation.

Fox Varian’s psychologist and surgeon were held liable by a jury in Westchester, New York, according to independent reporter Benjamin Ryan, who attended the three-week trial.

Ryan suggested the case is just the beginning of detransitioner lawsuits he’s been following and that, ultimately, these sorts of results could discourage doctors from advising or performing these types of life-altering surgeries on minors. Detransitioner Awarded Millions In First Malpractice Verdict: ‘This Is How It All Ends’

Pls note--this case has been sealed.
