    This is very complex. The patient wanted to change genders at 12 years old. The doctors want to take the patient at their word, but it’s hard to know the motivations of a 12 year old. Now at 22 they say they were handling sexual assault trauma which was misdiagnosed as gendor dysphoria by their care providers.

    From a doctor’s perspective it’s a lose lose situation. Going to get sued no matter what

        It was a well thought out statement but you failed to ask a question. That could be why you didn’t get a response.

        The doctors should be legally liable just as they are for any other practice. Since this doctor has a history of ignoring the evidence and stranded of care, it’s reasonable for a lawsuit to happen

        Overall the topic is complicated and I think an adult should be free to do what they want. It’s the children that are the concern.
