“Primum Non Nocere” – Thomas Sydenham
A New York jury found psychologist Dr. Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Dr. Simon H. Chin liable for failing to properly evaluate a female patient’s mental health issues like depression, anorexia, ADHD, and possible body dysmorphia before recommending and executing genital removal surgery.
The patient’s mother had opposed the surgery but relented after warnings of “suicide risk;” the jury awarded $1.6 million for pain and suffering plus $400,000 for medical costs. This marks the first known “detransition” victory in America for victims in such a case.
At least 28 similar suits are pending nationwide as debate rages around youth “gender/sex” medicine.
In the past few decades, the medical, pharmaceutical, social service, and psychiatric professions have seen a “trans,” “tranny,” or sexual transition business boom. Indeed, sexual dysphoria has become something of a social virus spread by internet platforms, if not just another revenue stream for dicey practitioners.
At this point, it’s a wonder that more lawyers, shysters, and barristers haven’t been drawn to the “trans” honey pot before the Einhorn/Chin case.
Medical malpractice and ambulance chasing often come as a package.
A rough conservative estimate for the full annual value of “transition” medicine today falls in the $10–20 billion range, dominated by ongoing hormone regimens and counseling rather than one-time surgeries.
Higher-end projections factor in rapid growth from increased access, awareness, and insurance coverage. Dollar numbers vary by source (some just focus narrowly on surgery), yet the gender/sex sector is expanding quickly, but remains relative small compared to overall healthcare costs.
Dicey indeed – dollar estimates for the growing yet opaque industry differ widely depending on what’s included.

And how was suicide risk assessed?
Where are the longitudinal data case

Was Dr. Joseph Mengele, Nazi psychopathic ethicist consulted?
Transgender surgery is going to rank high in the annals of American hysterics eventually, alongside the Salem Witch Trials.
Some day, soon I hope, these surgeries will be in the same category as lobotomies. It’s trying to treat a psychological problem using physical means.
No, this crap voodoo treatment is on a par with mayor Mamdanl’s refusal to ptotect those 13 homeless from freeze death.
And shame on police commisioner Tisch for following orders.
We pathetic cruel critics will never blame ourselves for serious civilization neglect.
