Detransitioner legal cases going to trial in USA January 2026

There are two legal cases going to trial in the USA this month and Ben Ryan is going to report on at least the first one that will be a New York case. I don't know who has brought this case and the name of the claimant might not be released.

However, this month is going to be significant.

The first case, the New York case, is going to trial starts week commencing 5th January 2026. Then, at this stage, Camille Keifel's suit will be going ahead in Oregon starting later this month.

There are several sites now tracking these law suits but many are pending, or waiting for appeals to be decided. There seems to be one more scheduled for later this year though which is Hein v. UNMC Physicians scheduled for the 3rd August 2026.

Just in reference to the spreadsheet image I have attached, CMP is the firm especially set up for these cases. They seem to have 7 at the moment.

I am very much looking forward to seeing what is presented as evidence by the defence for these cases.

Good luck and thank you to all those detransitioners. They are very brave.

Was at a medical conference recently where all the doctors and coaches who covered rugby players in the last few decades who pushed players back on the pitch suffering severe concussion, the escalating tsunami of worst outcomes on brain damage, are all shitting bricks, trying to cover their asses, as their "standards of care" are going to be taken apart.
The significant thing is not whether doctors couldn't reasonably forsee such long term brain injuries, but that the knowledge was already there, it was established decades earlier that repeated traumas to skulls cause awful brain injuries (WW1 and the mining industry the testbeds), and thus doctors were wrong to take risks even if they couldn't genuinely predict specific worst outcomes.
If anything, it's even worse for gender "medicine", when things started escalating as the burgeoning cohort of FtM girls especially came thru to have PBs, many going on to have double mastectomies, bottom surgery etc, the long term ramifications of PB use, re early osteoporosis, anorgasmia, infertility etc, are absolutely evident.
This isn't the 50s-80s anymore.
Throw in the fact that the rugby injuries were amongst grown men who gave full consent, yet even with this, doctors will be found culpable...on gender dysphoria, we're talking teens, even pre-teens, certainly individuals who cannot comprehend the gravity of their "consent" re ramifications of these decisions.
Are you listening, Wes Streeting?
When the de-transitioners relate all their co-morbidities, from widespread autism and ADHD/self harm/spectrum behaviour, high rates of being gay, challenging and abusive home lives, bullying, feeling different, and yet these were in most part wholly ignored by those medics responsible, all the evidence being rapid en masse tacking to the Affirmation Model, the lack of judgement here in concert with total knowledge of the awful end points of irreversible medicalisation, I don't see anyone complicit has a leg to stand on.
As we'll see with these cases coming to court...

But it will be the taxpayers who have to pay out
