WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.—Two health care providers told jurors on Jan. 14 that they acted ethically when they approved a mastectomy for a girl who identified as a transgender male when she was 16.
Their testimonies came as part of a case brought by their former patient, Fox Varian, who no longer describes herself as male. Varian has accused the doctors—psychologist Dr. Kenneth Einhorn and plastic surgeon Dr. Simon Chin—of malpractice, but they testified in court that they lacked key information when approving the mastectomy.
