On Wednesday, the Texas Supreme Court heard opening arguments in the case of a woman seeking damages for medical malpractice in gender transition.

Soren Aldaco, a detransitioned woman who suffered from gender dysphoria as a teen and underwent a double mastectomy at 19, is suing Barbara Wood and Three Oaks Counseling Group for recommending the senseless mutilation and allegedly falsifying information to secure it.

In July 2023, Aldaco sued multiple practitioners involved in her surgery for negligence and fraud, but lost in a trial court and court of appeals that held the two-year statute of limitations had by that time expired.

On Wednesday, Aldaco’s lawyer argued that Wood can be held liable for injury because Texas’s two-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice had not expired before Aldaco filed the suit. Wood’s defense claims that the date of the letter she signed recommending Aldaco’s surgery, not the date of surgery itself, should determine when the statute of limitations commenced.

That difference is the driving question in Aldaco’s eligibility to sue. The date of the signed letter falls outside the statute of limitations; the date of the surgery falls within. A second, 10-year maximum deadline exists in Texas law, barring a suit filed 10 years after alleged malpractice, serving as a backup defense for Aldaco’s claim.
