This week, lawyer Harmeet Dhillon (and friends) sent a legal demand letter to mega-hospital Kaiser Permanente and its deplorable “gender affirmation” clinic. The detailed letter alleges that Kaiser tricked 12-year-old Layla Jane into getting her breasts cut off and totally messing up her sexual development with powerful hormone and puberty-blocking drugs.
In sum, lawyer Dhillon is arguing that Layla’s doctors and surgeons minted a hellish and manipulative false dichotomy by asking Layla’s parents, “would you rather have a dead daughter or a live son?” Her incompetent doctors defrauded Layla by falsely promising that — after only a 30-minute evaluation — the radical gender surgeries and life-altering drugs would cure Layla’s gender dysphoria.
Well, they didn’t. Now 17, Layla has come to terms with her real gender and understands she’s a girl, and is even worse off than before.
It turns out that 12-year-old Layla was actually suffering from undiagnosed anxiety disorders and depression, as well as body dimorphism and self-image problems. She did not understand that the mastectomy would mean she could never breast feed her children, or that the drugs could create fertility problems later.
In other words, all Layla’s witch doctors medically misdiagnosed her anxiety disorders as being “trapped in the wrong body,” in some kind of bizarre metaphysical fantasy that people have a “gendered soul” completely disconnected from their physical, biological body.
It’s demonic voodoo. It’s modern-day witchcraft.
The demand letter was very well-drafted. For one thing, throughout the letter, the lawyers consistently referred to the medical procedures as an “imitation sex change transition.” That’s totally true, call it what it really is: FAKE gender surgery. It doesn’t really change anybody’s gender. It’s just a painful, plastic-surgery costume.
The hospital-industrial complex must be destroyed. We need to start chipping away at the problem by passing uncontroversial laws that should be completely uncontroversial, like:
1) Forbidding hospitals from directing or even influencing licensed physicians’ treatment decisions. Get the hospitals all the way out of medical decisions.
2) Enhance patients’ rights and require hospitals to provide patients with clear statements of those rights upon admission.
3) Increase hospital disclosure requirements, such as by putting patient satisfaction, malpractice rates, prices, and outcome statistics on their websites. There should be major penalties for failures to disclose or misrepresentations.
4) Reform hospitals’ medical malpractice protections by removing damages caps and lengthening limitations periods whenever hospitals fail to obtain informed consent, lie to patients, or fail to disclose ALL possible side-effects.
5) Increase damages caps and provide for disgorgement of hospital revenues whenever malpractice occurs.
I can’t believe big hospitals are dumb enough to push these gender surgeries so hard, so soon after pulling the whole covid caper on us. Something applies here about when you’re in a hole, stop digging.
