UCLA student sues California doctors, says she was 'fast-tracked' into transgender surgery

Summary

81% Informative

Kaya Clementine Breen , 20 , is suing multiple California health care providers and hospitals for medical negligence.

She alleges she was wrongly diagnosed with gender dysphoria and then “fast-tracked onto the conveyor belt of irreversibly damaging” puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgery.

Breen said she began to question her decision to transition after she started dialectical behavior therapy earlier this year .

A long list of major U.S. medical associations support transgender minors having access to transition-related care, like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.

Surgical gender-affirming care is rarely performed on minors, and these procedures are illegal in dozens of states, though California is not among them.
