Malpractice ruling signals legal reckoning for gender procedures on minors

By Brian C. Joondeph, M.D. | Commentary, American Thinker A major change in the medical landscape on transgender surgeries on minors arrives, and the press is trying to ignore it. When Fox Varian stood before a New York jury last month and described the moment her bandages were removed after a double mastectomy, her words were stark: “It’s so hard to face that you are disfigured for life.”  What the jury saw was not a political mascot or an abstract policy debate, but a young woman whose body had been permanently altered during adolescence, long before she had the maturity or perspective to grasp the lifelong consequences of that choice. After deliberation, the jury awarded Ms. Varian $2 million in damages, finding that her psychologist and surgeon fai...

Riley Gaines lawsuit advances as NCAA ordered to produce evidence

By Greg Piper | Just the News Female athletes "actually allege a clearer connection" between the NCAA and Defense Department funding for concussion research, making the NCAA subject to Title IX, than the precedents they rely on, judge says. The NCAA has a "Grand Alliance" with the Department of Defense to study concussions among "more than 53,000 student athletes and service academy cadets & midshipmen." That relationship could knock the student athletics nonprofit into a far-reaching settlement with female athletes who claim it's bound by Title IX via the DoD and committed sex discrimination against them by letting males compete in their sports on the basis of gender identity. A federal judge refused to wholly dismiss the lawsuit against the NCAA by 19 ...

Immigration arrest lawsuit dismissed against Mesa County deputy

By Heather Willard | Fox 31 DENVER (KDVR) — A lawsuit filed against a Mesa County Sheriff’s Office deputy who may have shared information with federal agents that led to a 19-year-old Utah student’s arrest has been dropped. The case was filed by the Colorado Attorney General’s Office after Mesa County Deputy Andrew Zwinck allegedly shared details of a traffic stop in a group message that included members of Homeland Security Investigations, leading to the detention of Caroline Dias-Goncalves on June 5. Previous reporting: Mesa County Sheriff’s Office investigation finds ‘disturbing’ messages in drug chat Dias-Goncalves, 19, has no criminal record and was attending the University of Utah on a merit scholarship. In Colorado, local and state law enforcement and peace office...

Over 100,000 tainted products? Lawsuit exposes dangers in Colorado’s cannabis regulation gaps

By Evan Wyloge and Chris Osher | Denver Gazette A Denver district court judge ruled against a cannabis cultivator’s request to force Colorado to immediately overhaul the state’s cannabis testing rules and seemed ready to rule for a complete dismissal of the case, after a full day in court Wednesday arguing over whether the state is living up to its obligation to protect marijuana consumers. The decision effectively keeps state cannabis regulators from being compelled — for now — to crack down on the alleged illegal use of hemp-derived THC distillate in the state’s legal marijuana supply chain. The lawsuit raises concerns about the legitimacy of Colorado’s legal cannabis market, once seen as an industry gold-standard. Depending on how pervasive the use of the synthetic, hemp-derive...
