Dr. Allan Josephson worked for nearly 15 years as chief of the University of Louisville's Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychology, when he made a “mistake” that would cost him—he dared to speak up about so-called transgender surgeries and the harm they inflict upon young people.

For that terrible crime, he was demoted and eventually fired.

Revenge is best served cold, however, and now the university has agreed to a tasty $1.6 million settlement in the case.
