Having worked in a lawfirm for 40 years, anyone seeking legal advice on ANYTHING should first ask the lawyer or law firm what areas they practice. Most lawyers are equivalent to general practitioners - only after years of practice do lawyer start to specialize, however many will take on any case to keep the lights on. With the leak of the WPATH FILES and more importantly the Cass Review, the legal outcomes will improve. This issue will end up being a cash cow for lawyer and I can see class actions in the future. I hope lawyers will end this madness.

No, lawyers usually specialize from the beginning. The best ones have professionals like doctors and engineers to answer questions or who have become lawyers from that overlapping category.

Law suits are GREAT NEWS for this!!!

I’ll pray for you & your grandchild. I can’t imagine how hard it is to be a kid & teen today.

Thank you for this! I am a nurse Life Care Planner and also a mental health counselor. Lynn, I will be visiting your website!

Love you Lynn! Thank you for helping this vulnerable community. I agree that the courts will ultimately be where this is finally settled. Will keep sharing Themis as I already have been doing. It's so important.

I am a lawyer in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Our Statute of Limitations has a discovery exception. Discovery is just what it sounds like and in the jurisdiction it tends to be something like "when did you become aware of your loss (damage)" or, when ought you have become aware. The second one is tied up with the doctrine called "laches" and laches stands for being dilatory in pursuing your rights or investigating your harms when they may start to be indicated but you put your head in the sand. For instance in BC a claim's timer normally begins "on the first day on which the person knew or reasonably ought to have known all of the following:" and it gives four subparagraphs. Notice the use of the word "all" this means the time does not begin to run until each of the four sub-paragraphs have been met. Summarised, they are a) that your injury or loss has occurred, b) that your injury or loss was caused by an act or omission, c) that a person (natural or corporate) caused or materially contributed to the loss or damage and you can reasonably know or infer who, and d) a sort of catchall that the loss, injury, act, or omission, is not of such a trivial matter as to not warrant the assistance of the court. In BC once that clock begins to run it has a timer of two years with some few exceptions. However two of the most prominent exceptions for persons considering legal actions for transgender health care acts or omissions in BC are: 1) If you're below the age of majority (under 18 years of age) your clock, regardless of discovery, does not begin to run until you hit 18. And otherwise if you haven't discovered your injury or loss the regular discovery rules above will apply; and 2) Persons lacking full capacity will not have the discovery rule timer begin until they become of sound mind. With all due respect many persons finding themselves in these challenging circumstances may have been under or still be under a level of psychological or mental distress that may mean they are not considered by the law to be capable of discovery until that is alleviated. None of the above is exhaustive in the law of discovery and limitations in BC, nor does any of the above provide what cause of action may be open to anyone. And lastly, none of the above is specific legal advice to any reader but educational advice to help them when they approach lawyers to ask questions about their legal rights or remedies that may be open to them. There are other exceptions, other causes of action, and the law of limitations often needs a book to be fully canvassed.

This information was very helpful in whatever personal injury case someone is faced with.

Sue the butchers.

Fantastic! What women can do, such wonderful co-operation and caring ❤❤

Women started this hysteria

Excellent discussion!!!

All good information to know.

Appreciate ya. Thanks for sharing.

Hit the like button you all!

I think it's important to note in Canada, the statue of limitations can be extended based on mental health.

Can you explain further? How does that work? Mental health outcomes or at time of injury?

Thank you for the emphasis

Gender identity - This is impossible to prove - there is a strong arguement that this does not exist.

@francishooper9548 - I agree. It is a straw man of the feminist idea that society's norms impose a way of being upon women (and men of course). You know, the good little woman at home versus the whore: and for men the brave fighting man or the good provider. None of this was ever meant to imply that human beings actually had some sort of internal gender identity, and it certainly did not mean that this 'identity' was more real/important than a person's sexual/biological reality.

Great information! Well done!

Appreciate the information. We must create a network of legal, medical, and mental health support for detransitioners. One suggestion- use a simple backdrop during a videocall if you are not in a private room. We want to focus just on you and your critical message.

near 27m opponents who help pay our opposing side. Insurance Companies for individual doctors? insurance companies for groups. eg hospitals have their lawyers, Medical aids, Medicare in US . what will they fight for. How much will it take for these groups to start pressurising the sued persons, groups to change or not offer this treatment or? near 37 min applying statutes of limitation to children even when parents gave consent. eg legal length of time for keeping clinical records. - do states have requirements to keep children's medical records for a longer period of time eg till they are legal adults and wish to object.( Both England and SA have this requirement for obstetric/neonatal cases).Effect of parental consent in different jurisdictions.

Considering how expensive it is, would a class action suit make sense? I realize that it would mean less money for each detransitioner. But a successful class action suit would pave the way for lateŕ cases. I think, I could be wrong.

Class Action lawsuits require at least 100 Plaintiffs suing a single Defendant. At most, they only currently have 2 or 3.

I am happy to pay to help attorneys do this important work. Let me know where I can donate.

I detransitioned twenty years ago, because my life was in danger from the violence of others. I wouldn't dream of holding anyone else responsible for my decisions, because I'm not a bloody infant.

I think that statute of limitations laws should be overturned. It only helps perpetrators which is the real reason for them not the ones that are professed.

No. You need to think about why statute of limitations exist in the first place. Do you want farces of trials that find innocent people guilty? What evidence exists after 30 years ? How accurate are witnesses memories, and how influenced by outside forces, are they after many years. If they haven’t passed away. Documents lost, etc. The statute of limitations also protect the victims, as it is in their beat interests to bring charges as soon as they are aware of a crime, so evidence can be gathered and preserved. Or do you plan to have cases with no evidence, just this person says so ? Or what came up recently, if the accusations had been brought when the alleged crape occurred, the defendant would have been a juvenile (16) and if found guilty (in a court with actual evidence) he would now have served his (juvenile) sentence, and have been able to build his life. What you want denies not only legitimate trials with evidence, but also denies people’s opportunities for a fair trial, and also to change and build a life after making a mistake. Someone making accusations 30 years after they were aware of something bad happening , denies both them and the accused justice.

The detransitioners would have ensured any medical professional who refused to give rhem the drugs, surgeries, etc would have sued them into oblivion and now, that they changed their mind, want to sue the same such medical professionals? It's insane!!!!!!

DOCTORS HAVE ALL POWER RESOURCES AND PATIENCE HAVE NO POWER OR LEGAL AID. UNTIL WE HOLD DOCTORS RESPONSIBLE THIS CARNAGE WILL CONTINUE

Now that we have the first official financial sanctions against a detransitioner (Soren Aldaco has been order to pay Del Scott Perry and Texas Health Physician's Group over $40K in compensation for legal fees) for filing a frivolous lawsuit, I think it's time for those encouraging detransitioners to file lawsuits to step back and be honest about the very real financial ramifications from doing so.

Are you seriously going to make us sit through the stupid music???
