The doctor embroiled in scandal for refusing to publish data on the impact of cross-sex hormones on kids was hit with a lawsuit from a “detransitioner” crying medical negligence for treatment as a child.

From the efforts to “Save Girls Sports” to the expected landmark ruling in the recently argued United States v. Skrmetti regarding Tennessee’s ban on chemical castration and genital mutilation of children, opposition to gender ideology’s relentless march on children, in particular, has steadily continued to grow.

Thursday, 20-year-old Clementine Breen added her own case to the mix as she filed suit against Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, alleging she’d been hurried to transition at 12 years old.

“People are just brushing exactly what happened to me off as something that doesn’t happen,” she’d told The Economist. “I wasn’t really sure about my identity at all.”

In addition to getting placed on puberty blockers at 12, administered cross-sex hormones at 13, and placed under the knife for a double mastectomy at 14, Breen’s suit contends that she had not undergone the appropriate psychological testing to advance her “treatment” and she wasn’t monitored for side effects or the impact on her mental health.

According to the suit, she hadn’t seen a psychologist, and Olson-Kennedy, the medical director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, did not conduct an evaluation of her own.

In support of how Breen was treated, the suit further alleged that the doctor had told the girl’s parents she was suicidal when they’d voiced concern over testosterone treatments despite her own claims to have not expressed any such thoughts and that the doctor had said, “if they did not agree to cross-sex hormone therapy, Clementine would commit suicide.”

The lawsuit comes weeks after a report revealed that Olson-Kennedy withheld findings of a two-year $10 million taxpayer-funded study on the impact of children being chemically treated for gender identity issues because the approximately a quarter of children had symptoms of depression, anxiety and suicidal ideation.

That report matched the experiences of Breen who detailed how the treatment initially made her feel better before a turn for the worse. Medical records indicated a lack of questioning about her mental state despite notes that she’d begun “compulsive cutting.”

Meanwhile, Olson-Kennedy, who’d said of Breen during testosterone treatment that she was, “Alert…no acute distress…cooperative, smiling,” reported in her own notes the patient only had questions of identity months prior while the doctor’s letter to a surgeon promoting the patient’s mastectomy claimed she’d “endorsed a male gender identity since childhood.”

Speaking with Chris Elston, the activist known as Billboard Chris, Breen recounted some of her own story and her appreciation for those who were taking a stand to protect children from ideologues.

She herself believed that her issue stemmed from an unresolved trauma from violence suffered at the hands of her autistic brother and sexual abuse when she was six years old from someone outside her family.
