America’s top genital mutilator of children is being sued by a young girl she helped chemically castrate and abuse, in an appalling case that shouldn’t have ever happened in the first place.
As the Supreme Court currently weighs a Tennessee law prohibiting the medical “transitioning” of gender dysphoric children and teens, Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, who currently works as the Medical Director of the Center for Transyouth Health and Development at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles (a department that shouldn’t even exist) and who has been praised as “America’s best-known practitioner of youth gender medicine,” is being sued for medical negligence by a former patient who said Olson-Kennedy prescribed her high-powered puberty blockers and removed her breasts as a young, confused teen.
Kaya Clementine Breen, a now 20-year-old woman who spent her teen years believing she was a boy, says Olson-Kennedy began prescribing her puberty blockers at only 12 years old, gave her cross-sex hormones (testosterone) at 13, then performed a double mastectomy of her healthy breast tissue at only 14, telling her and her parents the whole time that Breen was at risk for suicide if she didn’t undergo the permanent and life-altering procedures.
And for which, of course, Olson-Kennedy was financially compensated.

“Clementine’s providers deliberately, grossly, and recklessly breached the standard of care in this case as discussed above, by among other things, failing to adequately assess and treat Clementine’s complex array of mental health symptoms and prior trauma before prescribing irreversible and life-altering medications and performing surgery,” Breen’s suit states.
“Instead, the Defendants coerced Clementine and her parents with the threat of suicide, presentation of false information, and concealment of full information, into an ill-advised experimental course of chemical/surgical imitation sex change treatment that was utterly unsupported by any reliable medical research,” the complaint continues. “This so-called ‘treatment’ of Clementine by her providers represents a despicable, failed medical experiment and a knowing, deliberate, and gross breach of the standard of care that was substantially certain to cause serious harm.”
Notes from Breen’s appointments with Olson-Kennedy included in the complaint show the 12-year-old didn’t even meet with a gender dysphoria psychologist or counselor, nor had she undergone a mental health eval, before Olson-Kennedy began prescribing her puberty blockers, topping that with testosterone less than a year later.
The suit also claims that despite Breen having never expressed suicidal thoughts, Olson-Kennedy insisted that she was at risk of killing herself if she didn’t undergo “transition” procedures, which included a double mastectomy just two years the young girl’s journey began.
“At that time, Clementine had never had any thoughts of suicide, and she certainly had never expressed anything along those lines to Dr. Olson-Kennedy,” the lawsuit states, adding, “Dr. Olson-Kennedy went even further…by telling them that if they did not agree to cross-sex hormone therapy, Clementine would commit suicide.”
Olson-Kennedy lead a $10 million initiative funded with taxpayer dollars by the National Institutes of Health to study “youth gender medicine,” admitting last month to the New York Times that she didn’t publish the results of the study the public paid for because she didn’t get the results she wanted, proving instead that kids with gender dysphoria who were treated with hormones didn’t show any improvement in their mental health after being pumped full of “affirming” chemicals.
