It takes years for detransitioners to realize they were oversold the benefits and undersold the risks. The law protects their right to seek justice. @detranslaw

[The Free Press @TheFP]

Detransitioners often miss the statute of limitations before they realize they have malpractice claims. On Friday, the Texas Supreme Court gave Soren Aldaco a chance to make her case. https://t.co/pqU6WgoUkr

We welcome the Texas Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in @SorenAldaco ‘s case, which serves as a guide for other courts. Statute of limitations is a hurdle many of our clients face because they didn’t realize they were harmed until years later. They were misled into believing that hormones and surgery was a proven cure for their complex mental health problems.

The Texas Supreme Court's opinion is a landmark victory for detransitioners seeking justice for harmful interventions they were misled into: https://t.co/W9s7dUsXqk

@SorenAldaco @detranslaw

[Josh Payne @payne_josh]

Our clients are truly inspirational. Soren refused to give up, and the Texas Supreme Court told her she was right.

[Independent Women @IWF]

STATEMENT from @SorenAldaco: "It always astonishes me to find myself at the center of a moment this big, because I do this work for the people who come after me—and that means I sometimes lose myself in the weight of it.

Today the Texas Supreme Court unanimously ruled that my case deserves to be heard, and that providers implicated in harming vulnerable patients can’t twist the statute of limitations to escape accountability. This ruling is a watershed moment.

The Court’s opinion is already sending shockwaves far beyond Texas. The direct impact will be felt here at home—but providers across the country, and federally, will now think twice about their responsibility to patients.

And patients will see, through the model established here in Texas, that they deserve to be protected and taken seriously.”

[Sarah Parshall Perry @SarahPPerry]

Too many teens are told--"transition or die," put to the hysterical calculus of medical transition thru an "affirm only, affirm quickly" approach.

They're told resistance yields tragedy.

One of the victims of that canard was @PrishaMosley. A must read from her & @payne_josh

[Josh Payne @payne_josh]

@SarahPPerry @PrishaMosley Thank you @SarahPPerry. It’s a preventable tragedy, that’s why we are pursuing justice in Prisha’s case.

[Josh Payne @payne_josh]

Detransitioners who were misled into life-altering procedures deserve justice, no matter how long it takes ⚖️

@ErinFriday75490 @BrandonMShow @DrJayRichards @glennagoldis @approject Payne: The core deceptive message of gender affirming care is “you will die and transition is your life raft” and that the treatment is completely backed by the FDA and the highest scientific authorities, which is untrue. #FTCProtectKids

🧵The DOJ is defending gender clinicians in a medical malpractice lawsuit filed by a young woman who received sex-rejecting testosterone at a federally funded health clinic, while struggling with multiple personality disorder.

[Graham Linehan @Glinner]

They gave a woman with multiple personality disorder wrong sex hormones

[Josh Payne @payne_josh]

It's worse than that. One of the alters was an 11-year-old girl expressly against the testosterone, according to our lawsuit. Another was a six-year-old boy. While Layton was in her 20s, Dr. Jason Rafferty-the pediatrician who authored the 2018 American Academy of Pediatrics policy statement-is the one who prescribed her testosterone.

The U.S. Dep't of Health and Human Services recently castigated Dr. Rafferty for “describ[ing] detransition as part of the ‘gender affirming’ approach itself, thus making treatment failure impossible to conceive” and for “call[ing] for specific political activism on the part of clinicians.” Treatment for Pediatric Gender Dysphoria: Review of Evidence and Best Practices 33, 214 n.21 (Nov. 19, 2025).

Yet, the U.S. Dep't of Justice is defending Dr. Rafferty and asking the court to dismiss Layton's case on statute of limitations grounds. Of course, she couldn't file her case until years later because Dr. Rafferty deceived her into thinking the testosterone was appropriate, evidence-based health care that would cure her mental health problems.
