Two New York doctors pushed Fox Varian to get a double mastectomy when she was just 16 years old. Varian, who is now 22 years old and detransitioned, filed a lawsuit against the doctors for pushing the surgery on her and won. This is the first time a plaintiff in such a case has won a judgment.
On this episode of The Spectator P.M. Podcast, hosts Ellie Gardey Holmes and Lyrah Margo unpack the case and praise the ruling for bringing to light the harms of “gender-affirming care.” Ellie and Lyrah discuss how this decision serves as a warning to medical professionals who perform life-altering surgeries that claim to transition people to the opposite sex. Tune in to hear their discussion!
