Prisha Mosley, who is suing the medical professionals who pushed her to undergo gender transition procedures as a teen, is the first detransitioner lawsuit to proceed to court, according to her lawyer. The defendants had moved to dismiss the case, but the Court determined that there are sufficient allegations to allow the case to move forward.
In a statement, her attorney, Josh Payne, said, “This is the first substantive ruling we are aware of in which a Court has held that a detransitioner’s case against her health care professionals is legally viable. We are honored to represent Prisha as she pursues justice for herself and her family and tries to prevent what happened to her from happening to others.”
As a teenager, Prisha dealt with substantial trauma and mental health challenges, including sexual assault. When she reached out to health care providers to seek healing, those providers told her that she was born in the wrong body, and that the solution to her problems was to go through the medical procedures that would help her present as a male.
“They told me that changing my body to look like a boy’s body would cure my mental health problems. They told me that injecting large amounts of testosterone into my female body would be good for me. They also encouraged me to undergo surgery to remove my healthy breasts,” She wrote in a Fox News op-ed.
Now that Prisha has detransitioned and is dealing with the lasting effects of these procedures, she wants to hold her providers accountable and help prevent this from happening to other teens.
Prisha has sued multiple doctors and health facilities on seven counts of fraud, facilitating fraud, breach of fiduciary duty rising to the level of constructive fraud, civil conspiracy, medical malpractice, negligent infliction of emotional distress, and unfair and deceptive trade practices.
The judge granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the charges of breach of fiduciary duty, medical malpractice, negligent infliction, and unfair and deceptive trade practices. The charges of fraud and civil conspiracy still stand.
