New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian warned Sydney’s unvaccinated the state might bar them from social events. Berejiklian spoke to Seven News on Tuesday about their bleak futures following the COVID-19 lockdown.

“A lot of businesses have said they will not accept anyone who is unvaccinated,” Berejiklian said. Currently the state has strict COVID-19 restrictions, but plans to lift them December 1st.

After October 11th, pubs, cafes, gyms and hairdressers will reopen to fully vaccinated people in Sydney, and broader New South Wales. Then, more retailers and services will reopen once 80% of the adult population becomes fully vaccinated. Many are expecting Sydney to meet this goal by the end of October. Notably, they reached a first-dose vaccination rate of 80% in mid-September.

According to Seven News, there were 61,231 total cases since January 2020. Strikingly, 387 died of COVID-19 since then. As of Wednesday, there are just over 200 people receiving treatment for COVID-19 in a NSW intensive care unit. Over 1,000 are in a hospital at all.

Nebraska woman who detransitioned sues doctors who facilitated removal of ‘healthy breasts’ when she was a teen battling mental health

Nebraska woman Luka Hein is suing Nebraska Medicine, the Nebraska Medical Center, and University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) Physicians who facilitated in her gender transition when she was a teenager; Hein has since detransitioned.

Hein, who is being represented by the Center for American Liberty, filed the suit last week, for removal of her healthy breasts when she was a depressed teenager who struggled with mental health.

“Proceeding straight to breast amputation in a depressed, anxiety-ridden, gender-confused adolescent, who was incapable of understanding the lasting consequences of her decision, constitutes negligence for which Defendants are jointly and severally liable,” the lawsuit states.

Fox News reports:

Throughout adolescence, Hein struggled with her mental health and traumatic experiences, including being allegedly groomed and threatened by an adult man. She had serious mental-health struggles at age 13. By 15 she was diagnosed with “gender identity disorder” and put on a fast track to have her breasts removed, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit claims that despite Hein’s history, doctors rushed her into gender transition without considering her psychological comorbidities. It says the defendants used deceptive euphemisms and unscientific terminology to sell gender-transition procedures to Hein.

For instance, their use of the phrase “masculinizing hormone therapy” was misleading as the process does not heal the patient but does “inflict harm that causes malfunctioning and malformation of the teenage body and brain,” according to the lawsuit. Testosterone injections, which Hein received as part of her attempted sex change, can cause many negative side effects including high blood pressure and permanent bodily changes such as the development of an Adam’s apple, deepening of the voice, abnormal hair growth, and male pattern balding of the scalp.

The lawsuit says defendants were also negligent in other ways, such as in their shifting from a standard medical diagnosis to the “affirming care” model, which embraces a person’s gender delusion as fact and discourages questioning.

Allegedly one doctor, Nahia J. Amoura, was prepared to go even further. “About a year after starting Luka on testosterone, Dr. Amoura recommended to Luka that she surgically remove her uterus in a partial hysterectomy as the next step in her ‘transition,’” the lawsuit states. The hysterectomy would have permanently sterilized Hein and created hormonal imbalances that would have required long-term medical follow-ups.
