A California woman who once identified as transgender and had both of her healthy breasts removed when she was 13 years old is taking legal action against the doctors and medical provider who performed or approved the surgery.

The Dhillon Law Group and LiMandri & Jonna LLP, in conjunction with the Center for American Liberty, sent a letter of intent (pdf) on March 15 to sue the Permanente Medical Group, Inc., Kaiser Foundation Hospitals, and doctors who performed, supervised, and advised transgender hormone therapy and surgical intervention, including “top surgery.”
