A woman who previously identified as nonbinary is suing the professionals that approved her for a gender-affirming mastectomy.

Camille Kiefel, 32, filed a lawsuit against social worker Amy Ruff, mental health therapist Mara Burmeister, and their respective clinics for approving her for a double mastectomy after two visits. Both visits happened over Zoom, one in May and one in June, before her surgery occurred in August 2020. Now Kiefel is seeking $850,000 in damages from Ruff, Burmeister, the Brave Space Oregon, and the Quest Center for Integrative Health.
