Normally Podcast: Landmark Malpractice Ruling Shakes Gender-Affirming Care for Minors

In this episode, Mary Katharine Ham and Karol Markowicz break down a landmark legal case in which a young woman successfully sued her psychologist and surgeon for medical malpractice following a mastectomy. We also examine how this ruling challenges long-standing assumptions around gender-affirming care, particularly for minors, and what it means for medical accountability moving forward. The conversation explores the role of medical consensus, the suppression of dissent within healthcare institutions, and the broader societal consequences of irreversible medical interventions. This episode takes a hard look at how law, medicine, and culture collide—and why this case could mark a turning point in the national debate.
