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.

Prisha Mosley’s case is going ahead at the end of this month. It was wrongly dismissed last year just after the state had extended the statute of limitations.

It will be another one to watch out for.

Thank you for sharing.

This sounds like a positive step forward. I hope Prisha wins and that it sends a strong message to psychologists and psychiatrists (and schools) that unquestioning affirmation is a very bad idea.

My thoughts are there shouldn’t be any financial payments, that it should be looked into whether the complainant (if that’s the right word?) had any medical staff/teachers etc advise against and this person was then sued/ de registered.
if they were advised against it then this professional lost their job, they shouldn’t have a case.
have seen it in press where the transitioner has complained because a doctor wouldn’t prescribe the drugs or the surgery

Given that the American health system is entirely for profit, I think detransitioners getting financial compensation is sensible for two reasons

It allows them to pay for their ongoing care needs arising from the initial treatments at gender clinics. They'll need lifelong hormone therapy and possibly revision surgeries and there could be serious life-limiting side effects for which they'll also need treatment and care.

Hospitals being businesses in the States means they respond to the profit motive and if they see large compensation payouts being awarded to detransitioners it will encourage them to cease the types of treatment that led to those financial compensation awards.
