The mother of a transgender boy filed a lawsuit against a U.S. hospital on Monday claiming its medical staff repeatedly addressed her son – who later committed suicide – as a girl. In the landmark case, Katharine Prescott argues the Rady Children’s Hospital-San Diego (RCHSD) in California discriminated against her transgender son based on his sex. The 14-year-old transgender boy, Kyler Prescott, committed suicide about five weeks after staying at the hospital in 2015 where he was treated for having suicidal thoughts and self-inflicted wounds.
