It's really difficult to prove medical negligence, and I imagine it's especially so with some of these trans surgeries where the risks are so inherent.

Yeah, I assume they would've had the transitioners or their parents sign forms saying they understood there were risks, so they won't be liable. That's what happened when I had laser eye surgery, and when I went for a check-up afterwards and mentioned vision issues (ghosting), the first thing they asked me was if I'd been warned about the risks.
