Two detransitioners sue doctors over medical interventions!
No one has a right to sterilize a child.
FORT WORTH, Texas (PNN) - July 26, 2023 - Prisha Mosley and Soren Aldaco, two young women who were medically transitioned as teenagers and have since detransitioned, are suing their doctors, alleging that the defendants’ medical interventions caused irreversible damage to their bodies.
North Carolina woman Prisha Mosley, who was just 16 years old when she was first put on a path to medically transition to male, says in a lawsuit that healthcare professionals lied to her, both by telling her she could become a boy and “grow a penis,” and by withholding critical information about permanent damage from such treatments.
Mosley, now 25, was given testosterone injections and underwent a double mastectomy as part of her transition when she was a teenager. She now has a deep voice, facial hair, a damaged vagina and chest, and doesn’t know if she’ll ever be able to have children.
Mosley’s doctors “lied to and misled her into these treatments and procedures for the purpose of making money off her and bolstering their credentials in the emerging field of so-called gender-affirming care,” the lawsuit claims, naming her plastic surgeon Eric Emerson, counselor Brie Klein-Fowler, Shana Gordon, and Dr. Martha Perry as defendants.
“They lied when they told Mosley she was actually a boy; they when they told her that injecting testosterone into her body would solve her numerous, profound mental and psychological health problems,” the complaint continues. “They lied by omission, withholding critical information from her about the long-term adverse health consequences and permanent damage these treatments would cause her, and failing to inform her of alternative courses of treatment for her psychological problems.”
The young woman is seeking financial damages for charges relating to fraud, civil conspiracy, medical malpractice, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.
“As the next step in my journey, I have decided to seek justice from the legal system, hold my health care providers accountable, and hopefully serve as a warning to other doctors and therapists not to do this to anyone else,” Mosley penned in an op-ed at Fox News.
Soren Aldaco, now 21 years old, says in her lawsuit that medical professionals performed “experimental gender affirming medical therapies” when she was a teenager struggling with mental health issues.
The lawsuit, filed on Friday in the Tarrant County District Court of Texas, says Aldaco will be seeking more than $1 million in damages. “The precise amount of damages has not yet been determined, but we will be seeking much more than $1 million,” said Aldaco’s lawyer, Ron Miller.
Aldaco began identifying as transgender at age 11 and was started on hormone replacement therapy at age 17, according to Kelsey Bolar, a senior policy analyst at Independent Women’s Forum. At 19, Aldaco underwent surgery to remove her healthy breasts and just two weeks later ended up alone in an emergency room for 8 hours as doctors reopened her wounds from the double mastectomy.
“At the time, I thought I was going to die,” Soren said. “I just remember being on zero pain meds at the time.”
“Her traumatic medical complications opened her eyes to the ills of so-called ‘gender-affirming care,’ which she said enabled her to believe hormones and surgery could provide her with the sense of self she craved,” Bolar said of Aldaco. “Detransitioned and now working to heal from her ordeal through mindfulness, Soren has become a vocal critic of the ‘enabling’ she sees happening within the gender medical industry.”
Aldaco names Del Scott Perry, Sreenath Nekkalapu, Barbara Rose Wood, Richard Santucci, Ashley DeLeon, Crane Clinic LLC, Texas Health Physicians Group, Three Oaks Counseling Group LLC, and Mesa Springs LLC as defendants in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit states that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties and their medical interventions led to Aldaco’s “permanent disfigurement and profound psychological scarring.”
