Fox Varian Wins $2M Malpractice Verdict Against Doctors Who Performed Teen Gender Surgery

Fox Varian, 22, won a historic $2 million malpractice verdict against psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chin who performed a double mastectomy on her at age 16 without proper evaluation. The Westchester County jury found the doctors skipped crucial steps, failed to communicate, and used suicide threats to pressure her mother into consenting. Varian suffered from autism, anorexia, and depression—conditions the doctors never properly addressed before irreversibly altering her body. This landmark case opens the door for 28 more detransitioner lawsuits nationwide. John O'Connor breaks down the verdict, the gender industry's business model, and what parents need to know to protect their children.
