A woman who was confused about her sex as a teen just won $2 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit. This case, which involved the first “detransitioner” (a person who thought they could change their “gender” and then reversed course) to win a malpractice suit, should send the quacks pushing children to undergo surgeries for gender dysphoria scrambling for cover. They have neither public opinion nor research on their side.
