The Center for American Liberty announced Wednesday that a woman who underwent gender transition as a minor and has since realized she is not male and is transitioning is taking legal action against the Medical Center of University of Nebraska to manipulate her into having a double mastectomy at age 16. .
According to the complaint, Luka Hein was “robbed of her femininity” when doctors put her on a radical fast-track for breast removal surgery without first offering alternative options to her gender dysphoria, such as counseling or other less invasive treatments.
Hein, who has an extensive history of mental health issues, was diagnosed with “gender identity disorder” by defendant Dr. Perry Johnson during his first visit. Instead of considering Hein’s mental health history, Johnson allegedly overlooked all available options and immediately began planning a double mastectomy surgery.
“On July 26, 2018, Dr. Johnson was training plastic surgery resident Dr. Stephan Barrientos at UNMC. On that date, Drs. Johnson and Barrientos surgically removed the healthy breasts of 16-year-old Luka Hein. After surgery, the pathology report showed no identified lesions, masses, or nodules, meaning the pathology report confirmed that Drs. Johnson and Barrientos permanently removed the healthy breasts of a 16-year-old girl who , due to his age and confusing psychological, -social situation, he was unable to consent to this irreversible procedure,” says the complaint.
