Have you heard about the water at Camp Lejeune? Or how about the danger of weed killers?
You know about such things because trial lawyers have descended like vultures to milk every last cent they can out of those responsible for harming others.
Right now, we see doctors and psychologists conspiring to medically “transition” children with puberty blockers and even performing sterilizations and mastectomies. A number of sane people have raised alarms over this with some success but nothing brings success like bankrupting some of these amoral grubs of the medical community.
Sue them. Bankrupt them. If it happens enough, others will get the message. This is the best way to stop them.
Wesley Smith writes at The Discovery Institute:
Many in the medical and political establishments are pushing “gender-affirming care” as the only humane means of treating children who believe they are not the sex they were born. This so-called care includes radical interventions such as puberty blocking, mastectomies, facial surgeries, and even genital removal. One recent study found that the median age for mastectomies in such cases is 16 — meaning that half of the girls whose breasts were cut off were under that age, and indeed, some were as young as twelve.
How do you stop such a destructive juggernaut? Lawyers! It seems to me that eventually suing doctors and others who pushed or cooperated with such drastic actions will become the equivalent for lawyers of the “Camp Lejeune” lawsuits currently proliferating and being advertised ubiquitously on television.
It’s Already Starting
This hoped-for remedial has already started in England, where a class-action lawsuit will soon be filed against a now closed youth gender clinic. And now, Americans who were subjected to such interventions while under age — and later “de-transitioned” to the sex they were born — may be thinking about suing.
Smith tells about a situation in which a young woman named “Chloe” is suing:
Chloe is a biological female who suffered from a perceived psychological issue “gender dysphoria” beginning at 9 years of age. Under Defendants’ advice and supervision, between 13-17 years old Chloe underwent harmful transgender treatment, specifically, puberty blockers, offlabel cross-sex hormone treatment, and a double mastectomy. This radical, off-label, and inadequately studied course of chemical and surgical “treatment” for Chloe’s mental condition amounted to medical experimentation on Chloe.
As occurs in most gender dysphoria cases, Chloe’s psychological condition resolved on its own when she was close to reaching adulthood, and she no longer desires to identify as a male. Unfortunately, as a result of the so-called transgender “treatment” that Defendants performed on Chloe, she now has deep emotional wounds, severe regrets, and distrust for the medical system. Chloe has suffered physically, socially, neurologically, and psychologically. Among other harms, she has suffered mutilation to her body and lost social development with her peers at milestones that can never be reversed or regained.
Defendants coerced Chloe and her parents to undergo what amounted to a medical experiment by propagating two lies. First, Defendants falsely informed Chloe and her parents that Chloe’s gender dysphoria would not resolve unless Chloe socially and medical transitioned to appear more like a male. Second, Defendants also falsely informed Chloe and her parents that Chloe was at a high risk for suicide, unless she socially and medically transitioned to appear more like a male. Chloe has been informed by her parents that Defendants even gave them the ultimatum: “would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?”
Sue the bastards. Bankrupt them. Let’s be practical about this. We’ve tried making the moral arguments. We’ve tried exposing their sinister plots to the world via YouTube and twitter and what have we got? Cancelled, banned, and shadow banned.
Release the lawyers. Let them take from them the only thing that means anything to them. Money. Protect the children. Release the lawyers.
