Mark Pulliam, a retired attorney and Misrule of Law blogger, said a lawsuit filed in California against a doctor who specializes in “youth gender medicine” for medical negligence has the ability to “collapse” the entire “enterprise” of gender transitioning treatments for minors.
Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who runs the nation’s largest transgender youth clinic at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, and numerous others were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed by 20-year old Kaya Clementine Breen, who said she was “fast tracked” into transitioning to a male.
The lawsuit said Breen, despite suffering from a “complex, multi-faceted array of mental health symptoms as a child and adolescent,” was instead diagnosed by Dr. Olson-Kennedy with gender dysmorphia.
As a result, Breen began taking puberty blockers at age 12, started cross-sex hormones at 13 and underwent a double mastectomy at 14.
On Thursday’s edition of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show, Pulliam, who practiced law in California for several decades, said Breen’s lawsuit has the ability to “collapse” the entire nationwide industry of gender transitioning treatments – including puberty blockers, hormone therapy, and sex-change surgeries – for minors.
