   What case?  Is it this one:   
      
   https://www.advocate.com/health/transgender-health/jury-rules-ma   
   practice-transgender-treatment   
      
   As the article states, "Transition regret is rare."  In this particular   
   situation, the jury awarded damages based upon malpractice claims,   
   because the providers did not follow the proper protocols.  In terms of   
   advancing transgender care, this case was a good thing!
