New York Attorney General Letitia James fired a consumer fraud lawyer last week after she sounded the alarm both publicly and within the state prosecutor’s office about pediatric “gender care” practitioners defrauding vulnerable, young clients.

Glenna Goldis, an attorney who has dedicated her 15-year career to practicing public interest law, was terminated last Thursday from the office’s Consumer Frauds and Protection Bureau following a monthslong battle with the employee ethics committee.
