Texas’ Supreme Court is set to hear the case of a “detransitioner” seeking over $1 million in damages from a transgender clinic, claiming medical malpractice. Plaintiff Soren Aldaco reportedly underwent a botched double mastectomy as a teenager as a part of her “gender transition.”
Aldaco—now 22 years old—claims her surgery was prompted by a counselor’s recommendation letter full of false information about her gender identity. She has since detransitioned both “medically and ideologically.”
The issue currently before the Court is whether Aldaco filed the lawsuit before the limitations deadline set by the Texas Medical Liability Act.
According to court filings, Aldaco “lived a troubled life, leaving her vulnerable to manipulation and susceptible to risky medical decision-making during her teen years.”
