Texas Supreme Court To Hear Pivotal Detransitioner Lawsuit February 11th

Texas will be in the spotlight next week due to a lawsuit by a “detransitioning” woman.

Soren Aldaco

On February 11, 2026, The Texas Supreme Court will hear an appeal from Soren Aldaco, a detransitioner who has filed a lawsuit against her former therapist and Three Oaks Counseling Group. The lawsuit argues that Aldaco was rushed into undergoing irreversible procedures without adequate psychological evaluation or a full understanding of the long-term effects on her health and mental state. The lawsuit’s main focus is a recommendation letter from the therapist that allowed Aldaco to undergo a double mastectomy at the age of 19.

Statute of Limitations

The goal of this lawsuit is to determine “when” harm occurred. This is important to the case due to Texas’ two-year statute of limitations enacted by the 2003 Medical Malpractice and Tort Reform Act. In Aldaco’s case, it is important to know if harm occurred:

When the therapist wrote the double mastectomy recommendation February of 2021?

When the surgery was performed in June 2021?

Or when Aldaco experienced severe complications weeks later?

Aldaco filed a lawsuit in July of 2023. The court’s decision will determine whether Aldaco’s lawsuit falls within Texas’s two-year statute of limitations. The court’s decision could also determine how courts nationwide treat statute of limitations in cases involving medical malpractice claims brought by detransitioners.

Aldaco’s Journey

According to independentwoman.com, Soren Aldaco was the fourth person in the United States to go public with her lawsuit that followed what she described as years of misguidance. Aldaco told IW Features, “I originally sued the psychiatrist. I sued the nurse practitioner who prescribed me hormones at age 17 without my mother’s consent. I sued the therapist who wrote the letter for my double mastectomy and then dropped me a month before I actually had the mastectomy.”Aldaco said the therapist who wrote the recommendation for her double mastectomy, falsely claimed that she had lived as a boy for 12 continuous months."

A New York Detransitioner Wins Big in a Landmark Lawsuit

On January 30, 2026, a 22-year-old woman who underwent procedures to appear male, won a 1.6-million-dollar decision in her lawsuit against the New York doctors who convinced her to undergo a double mastectomy when she was only 16 years old. According to the New York Post, Fox Varian had the surgery after being persuaded to do so by her psychologist and a surgeon. Both were found liable for medical malpractice on Jan. 30, 2026. The jury awarded $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering, and $400,000 for future medical expenses. This decision makes Varian's detransitioner malpractice lawsuit the first in the nation to go to trial and win.
