A Westchester County, New York, jury awarded $2 million to Fox Varian, a woman who \u201cno longer thinks of herself as a male\u201d who underwent a double mastectomy six years ago at age 16 in what is believed to be the first U.S. malpractice case of its kind to reach a trial verdict.<\/p>\n

The jury found a psychologist and a plastic surgeon liable for medical malpractice in performing and supporting the 2019 breast removal surgery on Varian in order to treat gender dysphoria. The award includes $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering and $400,000 for future medical expenses, according to the Epoch Times<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Varian\u2019s lawyers said she no longer thinks of herself as a male and said she sued claiming psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chin failed to meet the standard of care through inadequate psychological evaluation, poor communication between the professionals, and insufficient screening before proceeding with the irreversible procedure.<\/p>\n

The case centered on whether the medical team properly assessed her mental health and readiness for \u201cgender-affirming surgery,\u201d marking a significant development in the growing number of such lawsuits in the U.S.<\/p>\n

Varian\u2019s legal team argued that the surgery caused lasting physical and psychological harm, including complications from the procedure and ongoing emotional distress.<\/p>\n

According to a statement from her lawyers, \u201cany medical provider who departs from accepted medical standards, regardless of the context of the treatment, should be held accountable in a court of law for the injuries that result.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case was\u00a0not a statement or referendum\u00a0on the appropriateness of gender-affirming care for adults or minors. Instead, it was about whether physicians adhered to their professional and ethical obligations when providing that care to Fox,\u201d the statement continued. <\/p>\n

The defendants maintained that the care provided followed accepted medical standards at the time and that Varian had given informed consent. The jury, however, sided with the plaintiff.<\/p>\n

Dr. Alfonso Oliva, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon not involved with the Varian case and a board member at the Catholic Medical Association, told EWTN News that \u201cpatients are often not given full information of the risks associated with medical transitions,\u201d citing the \u201cvery high complication rates\u201d of the surgical transitioning of adolescents and adults.<\/p>\n

He said inversion penile vaginoplasty, where male genitalia are transferred to mimic female genitalia, has a 70% complication rate, \u201ca very high number for any procedure, and yet it\u2019s tolerated as a norm.\u201d<\/p>\n

The risk of complications for women who undergo surgery to mimic male genitalia \u201cis 35-40%, which is also very high,\u201d Oliva said.<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cThere\u2019s not full disclosure by medical professionals of what happens to these children after these surgeries. They will likely become sterile, they are highly likely to have sexual dysfunction, especially young boys, many of whom won\u2019t have sexual function or the ability to orgasm in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are not reversible interventions. Normal brain development, which is not completed until 25, is interrupted through hormone therapy. Problems such as obesity and diabetes, and problems with the skeletal system, which will not develop as it should, are not discussed during medical evaluations. Nor is there a significant psychiatric evaluation of these children, who are suffering, but we don\u2019t get to the bottom of the suffering,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Oliva said there is extensive scientific research showing the harms of such interventions on youth, including the 2024 Cass Review<\/a>, an independent investigation into gender identity services for children and young people commissioned by the National Health Service in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The review concluded that the evidence base for the medical procedures, including puberty blockers and hormone treatments, is \u201cremarkably weak.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Swedish study <\/a>that measured long-term outcomes of people who underwent sex reassignment surgery showed considerably higher risks than the general population for mortality, suicidal behavior, and psychiatric problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir risk of suicide 10 years after transgender surgery was found to be 19 times that of the general population,\u201d Oliva said of the Swedish study. \u201cIf we wait for the initial euphoria after surgery subsides, and we evaluate suicide rates, we see that the surgery itself did not improve the psychological well-being of these patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The surgeon said parents are coerced into assenting to the medical treatments because they are \u201cfed the idea that their child will commit suicide if they are not allowed to transition,\u201d and this is \u201cnot the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n

Statutes of limitations, statutory caps on damages must be increased, lawyer says<\/h2>\n

Oliva said the statute of limitations for bringing medical malpractice suits must be extended nationwide. He said it is \u201conly three years\u201d in his home state of Washington.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many cases, these young adults don\u2019t realize that they made a big mistake until years afterward,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

While New York state does not impose a statutory cap on damages in medical malpractice cases, with no limit on either economic damages or noneconomic damages (e.g., pain and suffering), Marcella Burke, a Houston-based attorney, told EWTN News that \u201cexisting statutory caps on medical malpractice damages \u2026 are insufficient in most states to provide meaningful compensation to children harmed and insufficient deterrence to the medical establishments and practitioners who perform these procedures.\u201d<\/p>\n

Burke represents Dr. Eithan Haim<\/a> in a case against Texas Children\u2019s Hospital, which was allegedly performing transgender procedures on children despite a state law prohibiting it. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have seen firsthand the profound physical, psychological, and emotional injuries these interventions can cause,\u201d she said. \u201cIn most states, outdated statutory caps on noneconomic damages in medical malpractice cases \u2014 there is a $250,000 cap in Texas \u2014 fail to reflect the gravity of these lifelong consequences for children who were too young to give truly informed consent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese caps were designed for typical medical errors, not for cases involving irreversible procedures pushed on vulnerable minors amid ideological pressures rather than rigorous, evidence-based standards of care,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo ensure real accountability and adequate compensation for what has been done to these children, state legislatures must raise or eliminate these caps in a narrowly tailored way for claims arising specifically from gender transition procedures on minors, allowing juries to award damages commensurate with the devastating, long-term harm inflicted.\u201d<\/p>\n

The surgeon also said that what is needed are clinics that have plastic surgeons, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, and other medical professionals available to help the \u201ctens of thousands\u201d of patients detransition.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce they realize, \u2018Oh my goodness, maybe I made a big mistake,\u2019 there\u2019s nobody to take care of them medically right now. They\u2019re persona non grata at their clinic; looked down on as a failure by their community. They don\u2019t know how to get off the hormones, or what to do about surgical problems. No one is really taking care of them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Several other such lawsuits are pending across the country, though most remain in early stages or have settled out of court.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
