"Controversial Texas Gender Clinic's Experimental Surgeries Raise Concerns"

The Crane Center for Transgender Surgery in Texas has been performing unconventional genital surgeries, including giving patients a penis and vagina or completely removing their sex organs, leading to criticism from experts who describe the procedures as dangerous. The center's director, Dr. Curtis Crane, has been involved in at least eight lawsuits from 2017 to 2019 in California, with former patients alleging incorrect and unnecessary surgeries. The surgeries, which cost between $10,000 and $70,000, have sparked debate among LGBTQ groups and opponents about the benefits and risks of gender-affirming treatment.

Legal Battle Erupts Over Trans Teen's Controversial Surgery at UNMC

A lawsuit has been filed against the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine, alleging negligence and lack of informed consent, after a 16-year-old trans male had both breasts removed in 2018. The lawsuit claims that medical personnel did not explore alternative treatments and rushed the patient into surgery. It also alleges that the doctors used misleading descriptions, violated consumer protection laws, and breached the standard of care. The lawsuit seeks damages based on evidence of negligence and lack of informed consent. The patient, who no longer identifies as male, claims to have been influenced by social media and suffered from psychosocial comorbidities.

"Rapid Diagnosis and Swift Transition: My Journey with Gender Dysphoria at 16"

Luka Hein, a woman from Minnesota, is suing the doctors who performed her double mastectomy at the age of 16, claiming she was rushed into transgender surgery without proper evaluation. She alleges that the surgery has left her with daily pain and potential infertility, and the hormone drugs may have robbed her of the chance to become a mother. Luka, who has since detransitioned, filed a lawsuit accusing the University of Nebraska Medical Center's gender clinic of malpractice. Her case adds to the ongoing debate about transgender rights and medical procedures, particularly for children.
