One week ago, a jury in New York found a psychologist and a surgeon liable for damages for pressuring and then removing the healthy breasts of then-16-year-old Fox Varian, who thought she wanted to be a boy. She was awarded $2 million.
However, NewsBusters reports that only one journalist was reported to attend the full trial at the New York Supreme Court in Westchester County. Most of the information regarding the proceeding comes from Benjamin Ryan, an independent journalist. The court records have since been sealed, and Ryan is credited with possibly having “the only comprehensive record of the event.”
Craig Bannister of Media Research Center says that a peep was barely heard about this landmark case in the mainstream media.
“This is the first such trial that has gone to court and been decided by a jury,” informs Bannister.
He says that there are cases lined up “like planes in a landing pattern at JFK” with the potential to derail — if not completely kill — the liberal assembly line mutilating a thousand or so kids a year.
“That seems to have potentially opened the floodgates for lawsuits against people pushing this type of surgery on children,” says Bannister.
The decision did not find that it is always wrong to medically intervene on delusional kids with gender dysphoria. However, in this case, the shrink and surgeon did not fully inform Varion of the dangers of such treatments.
“The decision was narrowed only to the process that must be followed by doctors in order to perform this type of surgery on minors,” states Bannister.
Bannister says that a $2 million hit for medical professionals may be threatening enough to slow or stop the transgender medical syndicate.
“It costs a lot to insure oneself against malpractice, and one can only imagine what would happen if there was a judgment against the doctor,” says Bannister.
