Celebrated Trans Doctor Sued For Medical Negligence Over Removal Of 14-Year-Old Girl’s Breasts

“Clementine is a female who suffered from a complex, multi-faceted array of mental health symptoms as a child and adolescent,” the complaint states. “She is also a survivor of multiple instances of sexual abuse as a child and adolescent, something that was never explored, addressed, or discussed by Defendants in the course of their purported treatment.”

This is likely the case in most, if not nearly all, alleged "transgender teens."

Therefore, child victims of sexual trauma are severely at risk of once again being traumatized by the very medical providers that the adults in their lives - be they parents, foster parents, school counselors, or relatives or acquaintences - rely on to provide sound medical and mental health advice.

Instead, too may are agendized, profit-seeking or most often both.

Not to mention, there is an obvious fascination by a certain setment of society with young boys and young men who take steps to mimic females. I don't judge them for this predeliction, human sexual desire takes an almost unlimited variety of forms.

But I do judge them, and harshly, for wanting to get children involved in their particular desires.

Some guys like short women. Fine. Find a grown up who happens to be shorter than average. Don't go after ten year olds because they are shorter. I could give more explicit examples, but I'm sure that those of whom I speak know exactly what I'm talking about.

Leave them kids alone!

'Clementine’s providers deliberately, grossly, and recklessly breached the standard of care in this case,' the lawsuit argues.

A doctor celebrated as “America’s best-known practitioner of youth gender medicine” is being sued for medical negligence by a former patient — a young girl who underwent a gender transition and now feels she was deeply betrayed.

Twenty-year-old Kaya Clementine Breen accuses Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy of fast-tracking her attempted gender transition, including puberty blockers, hormones, and a double mastectomy, when she was a young teenager.

Her lawyers argue that Olson-Kennedy, the therapist she referred Breen to, the surgeon who removed Breen’s breasts, and other medical professionals are all guilty of medical negligence for rushing Breen through procedures that have deeply and negatively impacted her future.

“Clementine is a female who suffered from a complex, multi-faceted array of mental health symptoms as a child and adolescent,” the complaint states. “She is also a survivor of multiple instances of sexual abuse as a child and adolescent, something that was never explored, addressed, or discussed by Defendants in the course of their purported treatment.”

The lawsuit continues: “Her presentation of symptoms and concerns included, among other things, anxiety, depression, autism, undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), potential bipolarism, as has been suggested by one of her psychiatrists, ongoing confusion regarding her gender, and eventually psychosis (including audio and visual hallucinations), panic attacks, and paranoia. Her family also has a lengthy history of mental health issues. She needed psychotherapy to evaluate, assess, and treat her complex co-morbid mental health symptoms.”

She didn’t get these things. “Instead, she was fast-tracked onto the conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging puberty blockers (age 12), cross-sex hormones (age 13), and “gender-affirming” surgery (age 14).”

“Clementine’s providers deliberately, grossly, and recklessly breached the standard of care in this case as discussed above, by among other things, failing to adequately assess and treat Clementine’s complex array of mental health symptoms and prior trauma before prescribing irreversible and life-altering medications and performing surgery,” the complaint states.

“Instead, the Defendants coerced Clementine and her parents with the threat of suicide, presentation of false information, and concealment of full information, into an ill-advised experimental course of chemical/surgical imitation sex change treatment that was utterly unsupported by any reliable medical research,” it continues. “This so-called ‘treatment’ of Clementine by her providers represents a despicable, failed medical experiment and a knowing, deliberate, and gross breach of the standard of care that was substantially certain to cause serious harm.”

The lawsuit is one of a number of cases brought by detransitioners in recent years. This one is particularly significant, given that Olson-Kennedy leads the Center for Transyouth at Los Angeles Children’s Hospital and is widely considered the most notable youth gender medicine clinician in the world.

Last month, Olson-Kennedy revealed to the New York Times that she purposefully stopped the publication of a $10 million taxpayer-funded study into puberty blockers and their effects on American children. Olson-Kennedy had hoped the study would show that puberty blockers improve children’s mental health, and her study found no evidence that this was the case.

“I do not want our work to be weaponized,” she told the Times. “It has to be exactly on point, clear and concise. And that takes time.”

Notes from Olson-Kennedy’s meetings with Breen indicate that Olson-Kennedy immediately started Breen on the transition route during their first visit, The Economist reports. Breen had not yet met with a gender therapist nor seen a psychologist about her gender dysphoria, and Olson-Kennedy had not performed a mental-health evaluation, the publication reports.

But three months later, Breen was able to get puberty blockers. Less than a year later, according to The Economist, Olson-Kennedy prescribed her testosterone. And in May 2019, 14-year-old Breen underwent a double mastectomy, removing her breasts forever.

Olson-Kennedy reportedly told Breen’s parents that she was suicidal and would kill herself if they did not agree to cross-sex hormone therapy, the lawsuit alleges.

“At that time, Clementine had never had any thoughts of suicide, and she certainly had never expressed anything along those lines to Dr. Olson-Kenned,” the lawsuit says. “Dr. Olson-Kennedy went even further…by telling them that if they did not agree to cross-sex hormone therapy, Clementine would commit suicide.”

Olson-Kennedy also wrote in a letter to Breen’s surgeon that Breen had “endorsed a male gender identity since childhood,” The Economist reports — a statement that contradicted Olson-Kennedy’s own records, designed to indicate that Breen had long identified as a man and probably wouldn’t regret her surgery.

Olson-Kennedy did not respond to requests for comment for this story. News of the lawsuit comes the same week that the United States Supreme Court heard arguments in U.S. v. Skrmetti, a case involving Tennessee’s law banning these irreversible transgender procedures for children.

Comment: Impossible. We're told by the left this never happens.

Oops.

So let me get this straight, she was showing signs of several issues, ONE of which was gender confusion, and thr doctors decided that the way to treat her is to perform gender reassignment surgery? They thought that would help her mental state? Is that what I'm reading?

Yes. Exactly.

 

[daveman]

Oops.

Way to trivialize the maiming of a girl.

My own daughter was a transtrender for a while. Now, she claims she's non-binary. She still wants top surgery, though. My wife and I have told her we're not paying for it, and since she's diagnosed with autism and can't work, it looks like she has no way of affording it herself.

And you're right, it's fashionable. Look how social media, the media, and the left are pushing it. It's going to get lots of kids really screwed up, mentally and physically.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Of course. Lose the condescension. You're no good at it.

Meanwhile, none of that changes the fact that this "healthcare" team committed malpractice.

No condescension intended. Most people don't read them.

Malpractice depends on what the consent form covered. I have signed about a hundred in the last 5 years, and unlike most people, I read them. The possible complications and results are always listed.

Was "Doesn't need the treatment but we're going to give it to 'em anyway" in there?

That would be your opinion, and probably not applicable. They may have a case, but in most of these nothing ever happens because the laws are unclear as to proving malpractice. That is why states are outlawing these procedures on minors all together. That is why this case is up before SCOTUS is my state outlawed it.

I am not arguing morality, I am talking facts.

The patient herself said she was pressured into transitioning by her doctors.

It's malpractice. There really is no other way to characterize it.

Define and give examples of this "pressure". Why do you think bullying is so hard to prove in schools?

If it is malpractice, let a jury of 12 doctors decide. You would never get a conviction.

 

[Dean F]

Stay away from doctors. Stay away from these sickos.

Respectfully, I think you missed the concept of "alleged". You really should see some of the off the wall stuff schools get accused of doing that are outright lies. It would curl your hair!

They will get the chance to prove it in court if they can. I wouldn't hold my breath.

So the case gets thrown out, and the piece of shit doctor keeps doing what she's doing, ruining other children's lives.

No, because states are outlawing those procedures., lock, stock and barrel. It is as it should be.

Until it is heard in court, that is merely an opinion. The system is in fact broken when we allow children to mutilate themselves before they are adults. I like what my state did regarding those procedures.
