I hadn't heard about them by name, no, but I was aware there was something going on.
However, the hysteria of the far right about 'mutilation' children has devolved into banning gender-affirming care for adults, as well, and has also impacted cis-gendered children who have been receiving these therapies for years.

These two (and apparently very isolated) surgeries did not happen without parental knowledge and consent, and I very much doubt that either child came into the hospital only to have surgery the next day. Is what happened to them regrettable and an apparent tragedy in their lives? Yes. Is it an indicator of this happening to hundreds or thousands of transgender children all over the US? No, it is not.

Why/how it happened is not clear to me at all, and until then, I'm not going to judge the entire cadre of doctors that work with transgender individuals by this small sampling, nor in any way approve of or say it 'vindicates' the abominable shite going on in my state and in the entire country regarding transgender children and gender-affirming care.

Unfortunately, yeah. Cases like these become excuses for conservatives to argue that people should have less say over what's done with their bodies.

But I think they've been gaining ground recently because the LGBT community has neglected to address that there's trouble. These two lawsuits are not primarily aimed at the doctors who did the surgeries. They're targeting the health insurance company that paid for them. And if we have health insurance companies in the US that are shelling out money to operate on thirteen and fifteen year old trans kids, it's no longer a case of "this isn't happening to any minors, that's just a right-wing lie." Which ... I could already guess from the rhetoric I've seen online in trans spaces, claiming that people will pass much more convinvingly after hormones and surgery if their body hasn't reached sexual maturity, first.
