On September 19th, PJ Media posted an article that illustrates one current result of the transgender movement.

The article reports:

An unnamed woman who once identified as transgender filed suit last week against the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Nebraska Medicine, and three doctors for “negligence and lack of informed consent” after she had a “gender-affirming” double mastectomy at the age of 16 in 2018.

Now a young woman, the plaintiff will never nurse her children, assuming she is still able to bear them after four years of testosterone treatments that “caused significant mental and physical harm.”

All because the medical industry — I used to call it “healthcare” — decided that surgery and hormones were the answer to a troubled teenager’s emotional and mental health issues and, according to the lawsuit, bulldozed her into their preferred “treatment.”

The obvious question here is, “Why in the world did her parents allow her to do this?” I know some parents have said that their children threatened suicide if they did not let them transition, but since when did parents give in to blackmail by their children?

The article concludes:

Until recently, transgenderism was a condition suffered much more often by men than by women. But in recent years — in no doubt due to social contagion and a medical industry eager to leap on new profit sources — there has been an explosion in emotionally troubled (and often abused) teen girls who believe they’re suffering from it.

“Could it be that this is a fad,” Bethany Mandel asked in the New York Post last June, “driven by social media, that tells young people — particularly girls — that transgenderism is cool, far more common than it really is, and changing your gender is a snap?”

Yes. And it’s pure evil that the medical industry is lining its pockets by preying on it.

But as my old internet acquaintance Emily Zanotti noted on Twitter last week, “Oh, man. I never really thought about it but the lawsuits on this are going to be *nuts* in a few years. If these kids start getting million-dollar judgments… woof.”

I’ve long been a critic of how overly litigious American society is, but when it comes to the medically sanctioned emotional and physical abuse of minors, I hope this segment of the medical industry is sued out of existence.

This segment of the medical industry should be sued out of existence.
