NewReally good news
What it means is that when someone goes through some portion of reassignment surgery as a minor, "top" or "bottom", the consensus of professionals who would actually do that work is that it's by and large not recommended. So if the patient decides it was not a good idea, that gives a lot of ammunition to the plaintiffs in a malpractice lawsuit.
Next step; since body parts in the specimen/biohazard bag do not reattach, and do not grow back, make the statute of limitations for malpractice in the area of "reassignment" a more reasonable 20 or 30 years. More or less, anyone that rushes a minor patient (or adult for that matter) into transition will need to look over their shoulder for their entire career and into retirement. I would guess that that alone would put the kibosh on a lot of minor "reassignments"--and there were apparently over 5000 "top" surgeries on minors in the past seven years.
Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
