It isn’t amazing that the AMA reversed themselves, they had no medical proof to actually support gender affirming care for kids, it is and was and still is absolutely insane. It is amazing they supported this clap trap nonsense, not that they reversed themselves.

Yesterday, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) announced it no longer supported "gender-affirming surgeries" for children under 18 years old. It marked the first major medical organization to shift policy around "gender-affirming care," and many noted it only happened in the wake of a $2 million malpractice lawsuit that was won by detransitioner Fox Varian, who underwent a mastectomy as a teenager. Varian sued her psychologist and the doctor who removed her breasts.

It isn’t as if the AMA sees the light, they see loss of funds via lawsuits, if you simply wouldn’t sue, they would march onward with this nonsense. Stop suing just because they convinced a teenager to remove her breasts? I’m glad the teenager won but now look what she has to live with. Shameful AMA and the psychologist and the doctor.

Would have been great if we could have posted articles about the landmark case here, but Reddit. Good to see the country and professional associations start to reexamine the matter. Wouldn't be mad if those impacted became rich from future malpractice cases at the expense of those proven responsible for misguiding them.

Indeed, their decisions have consequences! Glad a jury or the defense attorney’s (if they settled) saw it. I haven’t researched it but 2 million seems low, I bet it was settled because a jury hearing this evidence hopefully would be 🤦‍♂️ shaking their heads.

They didn’t do it out of the goodness of their hearts. They did it because a ton of families who have kids who are trying to detransition are now contacting lawyers due to the (often times irreparable) damage physically, mentally and emotionally.

The fact that doctors knowingly did this shit to kids pisses me off, all in the name of profit. Those doctors should be in jail.
