Detransitioner Prisha Mosley wants stronger laws protecting children and parents from transgender ‘indoctrination’

“So should the grooming and social transition of children, which is basically just an indoctrination process, which leads to the permanent medicalization of bodies,” Mosley said. “I also think that parents should have a right of action to sue schools that have conducted secret gender transitions behind their backs on their children.”

Mosley is working with a slew of legislators, including North Carolina Senate Majority Leader Mike Lee and House Speaker Destin Hall, to pass legislation to prevent any more children from transitioning.

Mosley believes what doctors call “gender-affirming care” was “anything but caring.” In her lawsuit, she accuses her providers of both fraud and medical malpractice.

“It was fraudulent because I wasn’t actually able to change sex, and making cosmetic alterations to my appearance doesn’t cure any mental illnesses,” Mosley said. “I was misled about my treatment options and the side effects, and informed consent was not given properly.”

As a mother, Mosley said the consequences of her transition have been profound, especially when she gave birth to her son.

“My son was wronged in the most painful way, being unable to breastfeed him the milk that was trapped in my chest because my surgeon left breast tissue but grafted my nipples,” Mosley said. “It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened to me, and I shared it with him in a time that was supposed to be beautiful and full of bonding, and instead was filled with horrifying pain and wanting to die.”

Mosley believes her suit, and other lawsuits by detransitioners, now have a chance to move forward because of Fox Varian’s breakthrough lawsuit in New York against a surgeon and psychologist for facilitating her double mastectomy when she was 16. The detransitioner, now 22, was awarded $2 million in the first detransitioner malpractice lawsuit in the nation to go to trial and result in a win.

“I think every lawsuit that is won protects children who feel like I used to feel, and will hopefully stop doctors from harming them and insurance companies from covering it,” Mosley said.

Ultimately, Mosley said her fight is about justice — for herself, her children, and other detransitioners. Mosley’s legal team is hoping her case will be heard in the fall.
