A transgender woman is suing the medical professionals who encouraged her to transition into a boy at 17, citing a life-changing regret.
At the age of 17, many young people are still figuring out who they are.
For Prisha Mosley, her teenage years took a different path. Prisha transitioned from female to male, believing it would solve her emotional struggles.
However, what she experienced was far from the relief she sought.
Now, at 26, she is sharing her story and suing the medical professionals who guided her through this process.
Prisha’s struggles and discovery of the transgender community
Prisha grew up in North Carolina and faced numerous challenges in her early life.
She struggled with severe mental health issues, including anorexia and anxiety.
These struggles made her feel isolated and vulnerable.
During this time, she discovered the transgender community online.
The idea of transitioning seemed like a solution to her pain.
She believed that becoming a boy would bring her happiness.
She started the transition with testosterone injections at 17.
At 17, Prisha began receiving testosterone injections. Doctors assured her that this treatment would help her.
“I discovered the transgender community online as a teenager and was persuaded to socially transition.
I was only 17 when doctors started injecting me with testosterone,” she said.
Despite her parents’ concerns, they felt pressured to support her decision.
They were told that transitioning was the only way to prevent their daughter from potentially harming herself.
This pressure created a situation where Prisha felt she had no choice but to move forward with the transition.
“I was the perfect victim. I was young, impressionable, isolated, and suffering from severe mental health issues, including anorexia, self-harm, and attempts to end my life.
Doctors told me transitioning was the cure for my emotional pain,” she recounted.
The transgender woman continued feeling suicidal and unhappy.
In the following year, Prisha underwent a double mastectomy.
She had hoped this would help her feel more comfortable in her body.
However, after the surgery, she continued to feel suicidal and unhappy. The relief she expected did not come.
Instead, she found herself facing new challenges. She realized she had not addressed the root causes of her suffering.
“None of my suicidal tendencies went away until I addressed the real sources of my suffering: I had been diagnosed with anorexia, Borderline Personality Disorder, and had survived a sexual assault,” she admitted.
Prisha’s mental health issues persisted, and she realized transitioning wasn’t the promised cure.
“Both my breasts were removed the next year. Throughout every step of my “treatment,” I never stopped feeling suicidal.
I didn’t need a double mastectomy and testosterone shots — I needed therapy. ”
After several years, she decided to detransition back to living as a woman.
This decision came with its own set of difficulties.
Prisha struggled with the physical changes she had undergone and the emotional burden of her past choices.
The challenges of motherhood
During her pregnancy, Prisha faced health issues related to her previous treatments.
She realized that the medical decisions made in her youth had lasting impacts on her body.
She often reflects on how testosterone changed her physically, causing discomfort and pain.
Motherhood was bittersweet, as she felt a deep loss for experiences like breastfeeding she could never fully have.
“Testosterone has left my back, neck, and shoulders on fire most days.
My joints ache. My genitals are atrophied and painful. I will live a whole life never knowing how it feels to breastfeed a child.
My liver is enlarged. It’s likely that I’m at increased risk for a heart attack and stroke. My voice is permanently changed,” Prisha revealed.
Transgender woman sues doctors for encouraging her to transition into a boy at 17
Currently, she is suing the medical professionals who encouraged her transition.
Prisha argues that she was not adequately informed about the risks and potential outcomes of the treatments she received.
She feels the medical community failed her by not addressing her mental health issues before transitioning.
“I feel like I killed a child, and it was me.
“This can happen to your children too. Doctors working in New Mexico can be fined thousands of dollars for standing in the way of so-called “gender-affirming care,” even if it contradicts their professional opinions.
We can finally see the lack of science behind gender ideology. These files prove the medical community got it very wrong.”
The transgender woman added: “I share my story because families need to understand what New Mexico’s “Reproductive and Gender Affirming Health Care Act” really means.
It’s not a law to protect children — it’s permission to experiment on them. “
