Is the Dam Breaking?
The end of the beginning of the end?
Is this it? The moment we, PITT parents, have been waiting for? The dam breaking and the medical and psychiatric community finally being found liable for what they have done to our children? Is it the beginning of a tsunami of lawsuits that will force the world to see the irreparable harm wrought by gender ideology?
On January 30, a jury in White Plains, NY awarded $2 million in damages to a 22-year-woman who underwent breast removal surgery as a teenager. The jury found that the surgeon and psychologist had skipped important steps when evaluating whether she should go forward with the surgery.

I do agree with Arty's main point : "This, to me, adds a note of concern alongside the celebration. Because the transgender “standards of care” were made-up nonsense to begin with! Who cares if they were or weren’t “appropriately” followed? What we should care about is whether the universal standards of care and the universal standards of reason were applied — the Hippocratic Oath, and the universal principles of human rights."
(But of course, a win is still a win and whatever makes the doctors at least PAUSE, is a good thing).
Not surprisingly, there is nothing about this very important decision in the totally captured New York Times.
