Texas woman seeks $1M from doctors who put her on hormones at age 17

A young woman is suing the doctors who put her on testosterone at age 17 and botched her double breast removal the next year, saying they should have treated her for and anxiety instead.

Soren Aldaco, 21, says she was confused, autistic, depressed and anxious when doctors in Fort Worth and Austin encouraged her to become a boy, take cross-sex hormones and later have both breasts removed.

In her 29-page complaint, she says doctors acted more like 'ideologues', pushing her to transition, not discussing alternatives, and 'irreversibly disfiguring and disabling' her with a shoddy mastectomy.
