Detransitioner Chloe Cole and Alliance Defending Freedom’s Matt Sharp recently appeared on News Nation to discuss the first jury verdict to find medical malpractice for performing a sex-change surgery on a teenage girl struggling with gender dysphoria.
A New York jury awarded the plaintiff in the case $2 million in damages for the harm that was done to her.
As News Nation notes in the story, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons recently said it found “insufficient evidence” that the benefits of sex-change surgery outweigh the risks for children with gender dysphoria.
In 2021, lawmakers in Arkansas passed the Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act — a good law generally prohibiting doctors from performing sex-change procedures on children.
The SAFE Act was upheld in federal court last year and is protecting children in Arkansas right now.
Arkansas has also enacted measures letting victims of sex-change procedures file malpractice lawsuits against those responsible.
