American children whose lives were ruined by gender-affirmative medication and surgery are resorting to litigation to seek justice. The latest case to surface in the media is a 18-year-old Californian woman known as Layla Jane, who is suing doctors at Kaiser Permanente, a huge American medical group. They gave her puberty blockers and testosterone when she was 12 and performed a radical double mastectomy when she was only 13.
Layla was a severely troubled 11-year-old when she self-diagnosed herself as suffering from gender dysphoria. Her mother took her to doctors who recommended testosterone and a mastectomy after just two face-to-face consultations lasting 30 and 75 minutes. The lawsuit alleges that the doctors presented Layla’s parents with the false dilemma: “would they rather have a live son, or a dead daughter?”
Her lawyer, Harmeet Dhillon, of the Center for American Liberty, in San Francisco, says: “This so- called ‘treatment’ of Layla by her providers represents a despicable, failed medical experiment that grossly breached the standard of care.”
Ms Dhillon also represents Chloe Cole, another young woman who had a double mastectomy at 15 because she thought that she was really male. She says that she has received thousands of calls from detransitioners from all over the country.

Isn't quintessentone supposed to trust the experts? Wouldn't they have been the ones to recommend a psychological consult as the experts over the parents?

Why don't you define this sentence:
"Layla was a severely troubled 11-year-old when she self-diagnosed herself as suffering from gender dysphoria."
What does severely troubled mean to you?

Remember now, the parents should have no say in their children's care. The "experts" should have final and absolute authority over the authorization to mutilate children's genitalia. /Sarcasm
Oh and any and all experts that say that genital mutilation and puberty blockers could possibly cause a child harm are suddenly not "experts" anymore, because they are hateful bigots and far right wing whackos. Did I do that right?

Severely troubled means nothing. It is flowery catch-all talk for someone trying to sound professional and failing.
I had sausage instead of bacon this morning. I find that severely troubling.

I remember hearing tons of stories about how Kaiser jerked people around for surgeries like hip and knee repair, replacement and other necessary stuff. And how hard it was to get a specialiist involved. But this particular treatment seems almost fast tracked.

What does talent mean to quintessentone? Why do we have to define terms for quintessentone when quintessentone never has to return the favor?

What do you think should be the punishment for these doctors who presented the family with the fake dilemma: do you prefer a dead daughter or a live n healthy son? --what about those who are behind this business?
