Oh, interested in the prospect of detransitioners suing - I hope they do. Is this something under serious discussion and in the pipeline?

It's the only way the US will pay attention to any if this.

The more money clinics, BigPharma, Doctors make, I believe the lawyers will get curious. That is why anyone who gets treatment has to sign "informed consent" forms, because they KNOW this is malpractice and are covering their ass.

Some of these detransitioners on YouTube were only 15 when they started on hormones! Can a 15-year-old can give 'informed consent' to making irreversible changes to their bodies that may well render them infertile? Some of them actually had hysterectomies (albeit they were probably older than 15 when that happened).

However, even 16 is too young to make that decision, imo.

Plenty have already successfully sued but they have to keep silent to get the money.

The lack of legal repercussions isn't the problem, it's the secrecy.
