Over the past decade, the Trans movement, as a part of the larger LGBT movement, has become a powerful and dangerous movement that has been responsible for both confusion and physical harm. However, this powerful movement might have hit a major roadblock as a 22-year-old woman who thought she identified as a boy in her teen years won a $2 million decision in a landmark lawsuit against New York doctors accused of pushing a double mastectomy on her when she was a minor.
Fox Varian had the life-altering surgery when she was just 16-years old, getting approval from a psychologist and a surgeon, both of whom a jury found liable of medical malpractice on Jan. 30, The Epoch Times reported. Varian, now 22 and considered a “detransitioner,” was awarded $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering, and an additional $400,000 for future medical expenses — in the first detransitioner malpractice lawsuit in the nation to go to trial and win.
Psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chin was held responsible in Westchester County Supreme Court in White Plains for ignoring standards of care and procedural guardrails by pressuring the minor into addressing gender dysphoria with permanent surgery, the jury decided. Lawyers for Varian pointed the finger at Einhorn, saying he “drove the train” and was “putting the idea in Fox’s head” that she needed to change her gender with surgery, according to the report. Varian’s mother, Claire Deacon, testified that she was against the surgery, but consented to it out of fear her daughter would commit suicide, according to the outlet. “This man was just so emphatic, and pushing and pushing, that I felt like there was no good decision,” Deacon told The Epoch Times. “I think it was a scare tactic. I don’t believe it was malice, I think he believed what he was saying, but he was very, very wrong,” she said.
The so-called “top surgery” left the girl physically ill and deeply unhappy, she said in court papers reported by The Epoch Times, and which have since been sealed. The jury was not asked to rule on the ethics of gender-related surgical procedures for minors, but instead whether the medical professionals took appropriate steps before suggesting the threshold-crossing measure.
Lawyers for Einhorn and Chin argued that Varian lived allegedly happily as a male for several years after the 2019 surgery before filing the lawsuit in 2023. They further claimed Varian first came to them using male pronouns, verbally identified as a “trans male,” and that she first presented the idea for chest surgery.
The doctors should have ensured Varian did not have other psychological conditions, such as depression, ADHD, autism, or body dysmorphia before suggesting the surgery, her lawyers argued, according to The National Review. Instead, they saw an opportunity to push their own agenda on a minor and are now paying the price for that action.
Biblical Connection: The Bible clearly teaches in the creation account in Genesis that God made mankind man and female. This Satanic idea that God somehow made a mistake and was putting people in the wrong type of bodies has been pushed for far too long, especially to young children who do not know any better. Hopefully this lawsuit will open the floodgates against these doctors and psychiatrists who are manipulating or allowing these children to do permanent damage to their God-given bodies, and we will see a dramatic shift away from this Trans movement that has been so prevalent and so powerful over the past decade.
PRAY: Pray for the young people who have been so inundated and conned by this movement, that they would see the lie that it is and would instead trust God knows what is best for them.
