For the first time, a detransitioner medical-malpractice lawsuit will proceed in court, deemed by a judge to be legally viable. Prisha Mosley @detransaqua has sued in North Carolina “multiple doctors and health facilities on seven counts of fraud, facilitating fraud, breach of fiduciary duty rising to the level of constructive fraud, civil conspiracy, medical malpractice, negligent infliction of emotional distress and unfair and deceptive trade practices,” @foxnews reports.

There are approximately 17 known detransitioner lawsuits filed against medical providers in the U.S. Legal sources have suggested to me that there are a few additional cases that remain under the radar. This includes a suit that names @AmerAcadPeds as a defendant. nysun.com/article/lawsui…

Recently, detransitioner Chloe Cole’s medical-malpractice case against Kaiser Permanente moved to its discovery phase. It had faced the apparent likelihood of going into arbitration, but no longer. @ChoooCole

@ChoooCole The recent publication of the WPATH Files could impact detransitioner medical-malpractice cases in the U.S.

@ChoooCole The publication in the UK of the landmark Cass Review, which found that pediatric gender-transition treatment is based on “remarkably weak evidence,” could aid the plaintiffs in detransitioner lawsuits in the U.S.

@ChoooCole My own reporting suggests that if even a single detransitioner lawsuit succeeds in securing a significant financial award, this will attract a flood of new litigation by law firms and plaintiffs that no longer see this as a risky venture, both financially and reputation-wise.

@ChoooCole One successful detransitioner lawsuit could cause a snowball effect that would drive up malpractice premiums for pediatric gender clinics and cause many to shutter. Additionally, health care providers might leave a space—or never entire it—that they see too litigious.
