a young man North Carolina The woman is suing the medical team that put her on testosterone at age 17 and surgically removed her breasts the following year, saying it was quick. transgender caring for benefits when I really needed therapy.
Prisha Mosley, 25, says she was confused and struggling with mental health issues when doctors suggested cross-sex hormones and a double mastectomy after brief consultations, one lasting just minutes.
In her 53-page complaint, she says her doctors “lied,” even saying testosterone shots would solve her problems and make her “grow a penis.” She has since decided to “de-transition” and live as a woman, and is seeking financial damages.
The treatments left irreversible scars, she says, such as a deep voice, body and facial hair, neck and shoulder pain, a damaged vagina, and she will not be able to breastfeed and may be infertile.

She is just the latest transitioner to take legal action against her doctors, in lawsuits that could be pivotal in America’s fierce debate over transgender medical rights and procedures, especially for children.
“They lied when they told Mosley he was actually a boy; they lied when they told him that injecting testosterone into his body would solve his numerous and profound mental and psychological health problems,” the complaint says.
“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.”
His documents were filed in Gaston County Superior Court Monday afternoon.
They name the plastic surgeon, Eric Emerson, the clinic where he worked, Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermalogy, in Gaston County, and Brie Klein-Fowler, a counselor, and the clinic where he worked, Family Solutions.
Also named Shana Gordon, and the center she worked at, Tree of Life Counseling, and Dr. Martha Perry, and the provider she worked with, Moses Cone Medical Services.
They are accused of multiple counts of fraud, civil conspiracy, medical malpractice, negligent infliction of emotional distress and unfair and deceptive trade practices.
The defendants did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s requests for comment.
Mosley discovered transgenderism online and began transitioning as a 15-year-old boy, believing it would help her anorexia, anxiety, depression and recovery from sexual assault she suffered when I was 14 years old.
The defendants “lied and misled her into these treatments and procedures for the purpose of making money off of her and bolstering her credentials in the emerging field of so-called gender-affirming care,” she says.
Dr. Perry in January 2015 diagnosed Mosley with a gender identity crisis after an 80-minute session and pushed her to receive testosterone injections, it is claimed.
That was over the objections of her parents, who said their daughter had other problems that needed treatment but were left out of key medical decisions, the papers allege.

In July, Gordon, a counselor, met with Mosley for just a few minutes before telling her that “changing her body to look more like a child’s body would solve a lot of psychological and mental health issues,” it is claimed .
Gorden then wrote a “report letter that was full of inaccuracies and misrepresentations” saying Mosley was ready to begin sex hormone treatment, which she began when she was 17, according to court documents.
Dr. Perry then devised a treatment plan for the patient. He said Mosley “was going through male puberty and as part of that process he was going to grow a penis,” it claims.
“She experienced an enlarged clitoris, but this is not the penis she thought she would grow when Dr. Perry told her he was going to make one,” the papers said.
Mosley, now a student in Big Rapids, Michigan, says she eventually decided to detransition and found that therapy could solve her problems.
She is trying to raise $15,000 to fund laser hair removal and breast reconstruction surgery that she says will help her live as a woman again.
She is seeking unspecified financial damages in the court case.
“I decided to file a lawsuit because more needs to be done,” Mosley said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
‘It is not enough to talk. People who do harm must be held accountable. I want justice and I want to prevent this preventable tragedy from happening to anyone else.”

Talking to him Independent Women’s ForumMosley said she “mutilated” her body to stop being suicidal.
“It didn’t work, and now I have horrible scars and traumatic memories on top of traumatic memories,” she added.
She joins a growing list of young people who undergo irreversible trans medical procedures but regret it and sue the doctors and therapists who they say rushed them into drugs and surgery.
They include such notable detransitions as Chloe Cole and Layla Jane in California and Camille Kiefel in Oregon.
Gender-affirming care, as it’s known, covers everything from puberty blockers to cross-sex hormones and, in rare cases for trans kids under 18, surgery. Several medical associations say this health care saves lives among a suicide-prone group.
But opponents of trans ideology say that sex is determined at birth and cannot be changed, that medical advice groups have been hijacked by ideologues and that politicians must step in to prevent parents, doctors or therapists permanently harm children.
Many are alarmed by the sharp increase in teenage girls with autism and other mental health problems seeking sex reassignment in recent years, and by new studies linking puberty blockers to weaker bones and osteoporosis.
The possibility of allowing drugs and surgery for children who identify as trans has become a frontline in America’s culture wars, with Republicans pushing to ban gender-affirming care in some 20 states this year, including North Carolina.
A recent YouGov poll of 1,000 adults in red and blue states found that Americans were overwhelmingly against gender-affirmation procedures for children.
61% refused to give puberty blockers to 12-year-olds, while 21% said it was acceptable. They also deemed cross-sex hormones and breast surgeries unacceptable by similar margins.
