This Court Case Has Gotten Little Attention But Just Changed Everything

Ever since well-funded Left-wing activist groups (including the HRC and the ACLU) won a Supreme Court victory back in the summer of 2015 that legalized gay marriage in all 50 states, they very aggressively pivoted towards pushing transgenderism at every opportunity. The HRC or “Human Rights Campaign,” for example, went from mentioning transgenderism just three times in their 2014 annual report, to more than 30 times in 2015.

Today, transgender issues are all over their website. The HRC also started publicly counting the number of so-called “trans people” who were supposedly murdered in cold blood, while omitting the fact that all of their alleged victims — at least, the ones who weren’t in a pre-existing romantic relationship with their attacker — were either prostitutes or violent felons who were trying to murder police officers.

It was always fairly clear why the activists on the Left carried out this pivot. From a financial perspective, the activist groups needed a new fundraising pitch. They couldn’t demand “equality” for homosexuals anymore, since gays had achieved “equality.” So the plight of self-described “transgenders” seemed like a natural next step. And on top of that, transgenderism also advanced the main plank of modern Leftism, which is that truth is relative and my personal truth is just as valid as the objective truth. It also advances the idea that biology is doesn’t exist and your inherent traits are irrelevant.

The Left implemented “affirmative action” on the fiction that inferior candidates were simply held back by racism, rather than their natural talents (or lack thereof). The Left imported millions of foreigners from the third world, on the theory that, if we simply introduced them to civilization, they’d suddenly thrive — instead of turning civilization into a replica of the hellholes they came from. And so it followed that the Left would also claim that, in fact, there’s no actual difference between men and women. Women are just as capable as men — in the workforce, in athletics, and so on. You can decide, in the span of five minutes, that you’re a man, then you can switch to being a woman, and then you can go back to a man again. In short, modern Leftists believe they can play God. They think they can eliminate natural, God-given differences among large groups of people, simply by stating that they’re erasing those differences — and mixing in a flurry of semantics, cancellation campaigns, mass shootings, and mostly impotent online rage.

In order to defeat this ideology — which was always the antithesis of logic, Christianity, and basic human decency — two distinct kinds of responses were necessary. The first response — the fight some of us undertook — was to attack transgenderism on an intellectual and cultural level. As it turns out, if you simply ask self-described “gender experts” to define the words “men” and “women,” as we in our movie, they will instantly transform into bumbling, hostile, incoherent lunatics who desperately want to get as far away from you as they possibly can. It doesn’t matter if you’re talking to a college professor or a random protester at the Women’s March — none of these people are capable of defending their ideology, because their ideology is nonsense.

Additionally, we investigated Vanderbilt, exposed the barbarism at their gender clinic, and so on. None of it withstood any scrutiny. The minute these people were exposed, they caved. And then, based on our reporting, we won a major victory at the Supreme Court, which allowed states to keep their laws banning child butchery in the name of “gender-affirming care.”

That’s the intellectual and cultural side of the fight. But there’s another important facet of this war, which is financial in nature. That’s because, for Leftists, morality and logical reasoning simply do not matter. We can convince sane people that gender ideology is demented and evil, but it’s impossible to convince Leftists of anything. The only way they were ever going to stop butchering children and mentally disturbed adults, is if they felt that they might get bankrupted for doing so. The law needed to change, at some level, to enable the financial ruin of any doctor who participated in mutilating a child. And in the absence of a nationwide ban on gender butchery, passed by Congress, the only way we would ever see that kind of change is through the courts. Some court, somewhere, needed to find a fake “gender doctor” financially liable for the harm he caused a child.

On January 30, in a courtroom in New York, after many years of waiting, that kind of ruling finally came down. For the first time, a jury decided, after a trial, to hold two gender doctors — a psychiatrist and a plastic surgeon — liable for disfiguring a young woman when she was just 16-years-old. The victim, who’s now 22 years old, was awarded $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering, as well as $400,000 for future medical expenses. A psychologist who pushed the treatment was found 70% liable, and the surgeon was found 30% liable.

This case is, unequivocally, a massive victory in the fight to end the blight of transgenderism in the United States. The award should have been 100 times higher, but it’s a major win regardless. It dramatically raises the cost of performing these barbaric procedures on children who can’t possibly consent to them. It raises the specter of massive liability for any doctor who carves up the healthy body parts of any man, woman or child in order to affirm a delusion. Malpractice insurance just got a lot more expensive for these butchers.

At the same time, there’s an important element of this case that isn’t being discussed very much in the mainstream press. 

Here’s a Fox segment for example:

All of that’s true. There will be many, many more lawsuits like this. All of them will have the same effect: They will paralyze the butchers with fear. They will provide financial compensation to some of their victims — not that any financial compensation would ever be enough. And they will prevent many children from suffering the same fate.

At the same time, what’s missing from this segment — and this isn’t to pick on Fox; every mainstream outlet has this issue, and I didn’t quite understand the full picture when I first heard about this either — is that the case wasn’t as cut-and-dried as it may seem from these reports. Only one journalist watched the entire trial play out in the courtroom, over several weeks. His name is Benjamin Ryan, of The Free Press. And from his reports, it’s very clear that the gender industry has switched into a kind of “Plan B.” They have a new game plan, now that they realize they’re in trouble.

The most important takeaway from Ryan’s report is that, during this trial, neither side actually argued that it’s wrong to perform a double mastectomy on a 16-year-old girl in order to affirm her so-called “gender identity.” The personal injury attorney who represented the victim, throughout the trial, made the argument that these kinds of barbaric surgeries can in fact be legitimate in some circumstances. 

This is from Ryan’s dispatch from the courtroom.

“[The plaintiff’s attorney] did not seek to undermine the basic principles of this medical field during litigation. He and the three defendants’ attorneys maintained a consensus throughout [the trial] that mastectomies are an appropriate treatment for certain minors with gender dysphoria—a psychiatric diagnosis characterized by persistent distress over a conflict between a person’s gender identity and birth sex.”

This is an important clarification that most outlets are missing. Maybe this was a strategic decision — since the jury was based in New York — or maybe the lawyers actually believe this. Whatever the case, it’s vital to understand that this trial didn’t address the issue of whether children should be disfigured by gender doctors, in general. Instead, the case was about whether this particular child, in this particular case, wasn’t treated in a professional manner. 

This is an important paragraph from The Free Press:

The lawsuit also accused both [the psychologist and the plastic surgeon] of failing to thoroughly explain the risks and benefits of the surgery. … [The plaintiff’s attorney] alleged that the providers had each failed to properly caution that the surgery might not meet the teenager’s expectations or address her psychological struggles, and in particular, that she might regret it. … At the crux of the case was [the psychologist’s] referral letter for surgery, which made no mention of what [the plaintiff’s attorney] insisted was a required diagnosis: gender dysphoria. [The psychologist] wrote that [the victim] suffered from body dysmorphia, which involves overwhelming rumination over a perceived physical flaw—a diagnosis that is actually a widely accepted reason not to perform plastic surgery. “That letter to me is a stop sign,” testified Dr. Loren Schechter, who is chief of gender-affirmation surgery at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “I looked at this case really hoping—and even with an expectation that there would be enough—to support [the plastic surgeon’s] care,” he said. “And I couldn’t do that.” Schechter is also the president-elect of the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), whose trans-care guidelines are widely referenced.

This is an incredible paragraph, on many levels. First of all, as we’ve discussed at length on this show, WPATH is not even close to a legitimate medical organization. In the Vanderbilt case that went to the Supreme Court, and in the WPATH Files, the organization was exposed as a collection of quacks who, by their own admission, have no idea what they’re doing.

This is from Clarence Thomas’ opinion in the Skrmetti case, for example.

Recent revelations suggest that WPATH, long considered a standard bearer in treating pediatric gender dysphoria, see Brief for United States, bases its guidance on insufficient evidence and allows politics to influence its medical conclusions. Beyond the lack of consensus over the efficacy and ethics of pediatric sex-transition treatments, these developments provide States even stronger reasons for treating supposed authorities in this area with skepticism. WPATH itself recognizes that evidence supporting the efficacy of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgical intervention for treating gender dysphoria in children is lacking.

WPATH also routinely changes their so-called “standards.” They changed their guidelines on the appropriate age levels for administering cross-sex hormones multiple times, including in 1997, 2012 and 2022. WPATH doesn’t support their “standards” with any kind of rigorous medical analysis. They were founded by genuine lunatics who destroyed the lives of children. They acknowledged in internal communications that children can’t really consent to any of this.

Put simply, WPATH exists for one purpose: providing a collection of fake experts that major hospitals can hide behind, when they’re asked why they mutilated a child. And here we have the president-elect of WPATH, taking the stand in this case, for the benefit of the plaintiff, who’s suing a gender doctor.

Everyone should understand what’s going on here. WPATH, and the trans industry in general, is trying to carve out a kind of legal “safe haven.” They want to present themselves as a serious medical organization, with real standards — and as part of that ruse, they need to sacrifice some of their foot soldiers who got caught in the act. WPATH knows that the difference between “body dysmorphia” and “gender dysphoria” is a semantic distinction, especially in this case. They know that doctors all over the country are currently doing exactly what these two doctors did — they’re rushing children into undergoing surgery, and taking all kinds of horrific medications, in order to “affirm” their fake genders and make some money in the process.

WPATH is trying to distance itself from these kinds of practices, as if it’s a one-off situation. But it’s not a one-off. It’s the entire industry. In no universe is it reasonable to mutilate a child under any circumstance. There is no situation where anything like this could be remotely justified. The chemical and physical mutilation of children — and adults, for that matter — is wrong and barbaric in principle, in all cases. And everyone knows that.

What we’re seeing from the ghouls at WPATH is the last, dying gasp of an organization that needs to be shut down, immediately — and that probably won’t be around much longer, if these lawsuits continue. Every element of this case was a dead ringer for stories we’ve heard a million times before. For example, during the trial, we heard that psychologist “browbeat” the victim’s father, saying his daughter would commit suicide unless she could “transition.” (Which is a very familiar lie that trans activists will recite, even though the ACLU’s top lawyer was forced to admit, in front of the entire Supreme Court, that there’s no evidence whatsoever to suggest that the proposition is actually true.)

The psychologist also told the victim’s father, on a recorded call, “I don’t question people when they want to go through this.”

We all know that this is the standard of “care” that all young people can expect, if they go to a doctor and say they’re confused about their gender. But WPATH is hoping that this case will be seen as a one-off. And indeed, the doctors involved in the case seemed to fall on the sword.

Again, this is from The Free Press:

If [the victim’s] lawsuit had a smoking gun, it was the case notes from an LGBTQ-focused nonprofit in Albany, New York, called the Pride Center. Two months after she started coming out publicly as transgender, [the victim] first broached her desire for a mastectomy in therapy. … On her second visit, just four-and-a-half months before the surgery, [the victim] told a Pride Center staffer that she “had continued to question” her “gender identity recently” and felt “lost at this time,” according to notes from her visit. … Critically, [the psychologist] never requested those notes. So [the plastic surgeon] never learned of their contents. … [The surgeon] said if he had known about the notes, “I would not have proceeded with the surgery.” [The psychologist] admitted that he departed from the standard of care by writing the letter, given that he lacked such important information.

So the buck stops with these two doctors, is what we’re supposed to take away from this. They basically said, on the stand, that they need to be punished for deviating from the sacred “standard of care” that supposedly exists in the field of “trans medicine.” It’s all such a farce. They all know there are no standards. They all know that they’re pressuring insane people to mutilate themselves, for their own financial benefit. But this is the defense they’re going with. It’s really no different than a couple of low level goons taking the fall to protect the mob bosses, because the other option is that they get thrown in the river with cinder blocks chained to their ankles.

The fact is that the entire gender “affirmation” field is nothing but industrialized, systematic psychological, physical, and sexual abuse of children. That is what it is, and has always been, and what the Left has supported and promoted and foisted onto society for so long. And if, for some reason, you were inclined to give these people the benefit of the doubt — inclined to believe that they didn’t understand what they were doing or supporting — look at how the Left is reacting to the deportations that are underway right now in cities like Minneapolis. They’re utterly horrified and outraged — to the point that they’re throwing their lives away, in some cases — about the fact that ICE is deporting criminals who have no right to be in this country. More specifically, they’re upset that we’re deporting thousands of predators, perverts and child abusers that the Left imported into the United States. The Leftist organizations who are now claiming to be outraged — deeply, profoundly  outraged — about the fact that a teenager was physically abused and mutilated in New York by two quack doctors, are the same organizations that are currently enraged about the deportation of illegal aliens who have abused young women after crossing our border.

Of course, whenever you point this out, Leftists will argue that, actually, illegal aliens don’t commit many crimes at all. It’s American citizens who do all of the crime, we’re told. They know it’s absurd, because frankly, we can look and see, with our own eyes, what these illegal aliens are doing. But they think they can get away with making this claim because they know that, for the most part, it’s very difficult to track crimes that are committed by illegal aliens. Most states don’t track crimes by illegal immigrants at all. Many of the crimes aren’t reported in the first place, in part because many of the victims are illegal aliens as well. Many of the perpetrators flee to foreign countries. Very few of them have their DNA on file in the FBI database. And so on.

But even with the data we do have, it’s obvious they’re lying. 

As the GOP recently put it, in a post on their official account:

According to Texas records, illegal aliens are convicted of homicide 32% more frequently than the rest of the Texas population. The rate for sexual assault is 91% higher.

Yes, when it comes to sexual assault, the rate of conviction among illegal aliens in Texas is more than 90% higher than it is for native Texans (and legal immigrants). 90%. And their conviction rate for murder is much higher too. When I looked into this, to see where the GOP was getting their numbers from, I found that Texas is one of the few states that actually tracks crimes committed by illegal aliens. Apparently, it’s an anomaly, in the United States, for anyone to monitor this kind of information.

So if you go on the website of the Texas Department of Public Safety, you’ll find that, “466,000 criminal noncitizens have been booked into local Texas jails between June 1, 2011, and December 31, 2025, of which over 335,000 were classified as illegal noncitizens by DHS. Over the course of their entire Texas criminal careers, these 335,000 illegal noncitizens were charged with more than 800,000 criminal offenses, which included arrests for 1,700 homicide charges … 5,000 robbery charges; 10,000 sexual assault charges; 11,000 sexual offense charges; and 12,000 weapon charges.” (These numbers are rounded down).

Additionally, the website states: “Between June 1, 2011, and December 31, 2025, these 335,000 illegal noncitizens were charged with more than 595,000 criminal offenses which included arrests for 1,100 homicide charges; 78,000 assault charges …. 7,600 sexual assault charges; 8,600 sexual offense charges; and 7,500 weapon charges.”

So we can infer that illegal aliens in Texas often have rather lengthy criminal careers, spanning many different charges across many different years. And we can also infer that no estimate about their crimes is going to be exact, because there’s so much data that’s unaccounted for.

For example, we’re not even counting the illegal aliens who committed sex crimes in foreign countries, before arriving in the United States. And there are plenty of those people, too — even though states can’t easily track any of this.

Here’s a report from 2024.

Watch:

HOLY SH!T

13,000 illegals convicted for homicide & 16,000 convicted for r*pe are in the U.S.

AND THIS IS THE OFFICIAL NUMBERpic.twitter.com/wdcen9Qyf5

These are staggering numbers, obviously. But if you doubt them, all you have to do is take a look at any other state or country — yes, any other state or country — that’s imported large numbers of foreigners from the third world. You’ll find the same statistics.

In late 2024, for example, district attorneys and sheriff’s offices in the state of Tennessee tracked crimes that were committed by illegal aliens. It was kind of an experiment. Only 73 out of 95 counties participated, with 22 counties failing to respond at all. But the numbers they recorded were remarkable.

In just three months, illegal aliens committed 11 murders, 3 child rapes, 18 rapes overall, 80 aggravated assaults, and 21 cases of child abuse. Again, given the population of Tennessee, and the relative minority of illegal aliens, these are wildly disproportionate.

Take a look overseas, and you see the same figures.

In Germany, foreigners commit five times more sexual assaults and rape than the locals. And so-called “Asylum seekers” commit 15 times more sexual assaults and rape.

Meanwhile, in Finland, Middle-East and North African residents committed nearly 18 times more rapes than native Finns, per capita.These are statistics that repeat, always and everywhere, which is why many European countries (and American states) have stopped counting the number of crimes that are committed by illegal aliens. 

These are all important things to discuss any time, but especially this week, as so many people on the Left pretend to care about the Epstein Files — something they never cared about until the day Trump became president. I think the Epstein Files are extremely important, which is why I did a 40 minute monologue on the subject yesterday, and gave you a deeper dive than you’ll find on almost any other podcast. I’ve also been talking about Epstein and calling for transparency and justice for the victims for many years now. The story matters. And if the ultimate goal is to put an end to the sexual abuse of children and hold accountable those who participated, or allowed it to happen — and indeed a worthier goal cannot be imagined — then we need to discuss the horrific sex crimes that are being committed every day, by fake gender doctors and illegal aliens. You cannot claim to care even in the slightest about Epstein’s crimes if, in the next moment, you’re rioting for the sake of illegal alien rapists, and coming to the defense of so-called medical professionals who have made millions of dollars off of the sexual butchery of children. 

No trans activist or Leftist is going to be swayed by any of these arguments, as we all know. They’re going to take the same approach they did in that New York trial. They’re going to deflect and come up with all kinds of clever defenses in order to distract from what’s coming. But at this point, what’s coming is fairly obvious. Let’s just say it out loud: The total collapse of the trans movement is officially upon us.

In the next few years, every Frankenstein gender butcher and perverted “medical professional” who profited off of the sexual mutilation of children will be sued into oblivion. The story should end with these mad scientists convicted in a court of law and hanging from the gallows. Instead it will end with them bankrupted and disgraced, which isn’t as good, but will have to be good enough. As the years pass, those who supported this madness will quietly retreat and pretend that none of this ever happened, or at least that they had no hand in it. We shouldn’t let them.

The trans movement will go down as the most deranged form of mass hysteria that human civilization has ever seen. We should make sure that history accurately records who went along with it and who had the courage to stand against it, even when the hysteria was at its peak and there was little to be gained, and much to lose, in doing so.

The same is true for the open-borders Leftists — the Renee Goods and the Alex Pretti’s — who fought and died on behalf of Somali scammers and Mexican rapists. The people who fell on the wrong side of these issues should never be trusted again. They should be shamed and disgraced and forced to live with the humiliation for the rest of their days. We cannot stop the rats from fleeing the ship. But we can, and must, remember their names.
