Prisha Mosley Discusses Detransition and Lawsuit Against Doctors

We sent out this tweet and it's gone totally viral.

So joining us now is Prisha Mosley,

who is a detransitioner, and attorney Josh Payne, who

is the attorney for Prisha. And I sent out this tweet.

Both of you, by the we- by the way, welcome to the program.

I sent this tweet out.

"Prisha Mosley is a 25-year-old North Carolina woman who is suing the

doctors who aided her sex change. According to Prisha, these doctors

approved cross-sex hormones and a double mastectomy after a

consultation as

brief as two minutes. They ulcer- they also told her taking testosterone

shots would allow her to, quote, 'grow a penis.' In reality,

Prisha was just a 15-year-old batter- battling depression, anxiety, and

anorexia. Her parents fought against her transition,

but were steamrolled by

enablers posing as medical professions- professionals." Prisha

and Josh, welcome to the program. Um, I understand there's some legal

sensitivities

around all this. And so Prisha, tell us in your own words

your story and why you're pursuing a lawsuit.

Um, so my story is that I was a very

troubled teenage girl. Um, I had a very

sudden hard and strong puberty, and basically,

my body grew faster than my brain. I

started receiving attention from boys and men

who just wanted to touch me. Um,

and then, um, at 14, I actually experienced a sexual assault,

which led to a miscarriage and totally divorced me

from womanhood. And then at

15, I was online in the pro-ana

community, and that's a self-harm

community where people have anorexia and enable each other.

And

transgender adults came into the community and started telling

us that we couldn't eat because we were born in the wrong body, and

we were boys. And eventually, you know, after

hearing an onslaught of this for so long and proof, you

know, um, I, I ended up believing it, and I was desperate

for a cure. I was suicidal and had attempted, um,

and I just wanted to feel better. So I eventually just

believed it. I came out to my parents, and I was met by

medical professionals who said the same exact thing.

Uh, you know, "You, you have a disease.

You were born in the wrong body." You know, you ...

And so on and so forth. Um, and I'm bringing a legal

case because I've come to realize that I am not a boy.

I wasn't born in the wrong body. I, I was mentally ill.

I needed therapy. I, I needed someone to care for me, um,

kindness, love. I didn't need medicalization,

but that's what happened.

It's a very powerful, and by the way, courageous testimony that you have.

Josh, you're the attorney for Prisha.

Josh, can you fill us in on who Prisha is suing

and what is the complaint basically detailed?

That's right, Charlie. Um, as we allege in the complaint, uh,

Prisha is seeking justice because, uh, she feels that she

was deceived and misled into, uh, a

medicalized, uh, gender transition, uh, being placed

on what they call cross-sex hormone therapy, uh,

which in actuality is injecting large amounts of

testosterone, the male hormone, into her female body,

and also having her, uh, healthy breasts removed by a

plastic surgeon,

um, at age 18 after she was, uh, put on the testosterone at

age 17.

And, um, Prisha is suing the doctors and the

counselors who were involved in leading her down

this path. And the, the tragedy

o- of it is that it happened and Prisha was

left with her mental health issues unresolved, uh,

contrary to the promises that were made, uh, that these medical

interventions would in fact cure her mental

health, um, problems and issues and that they were a treatment for

those mental health,

uh, issues. But, uh, as alleged in the complaint, that did

not happen. Prisha was left with her mental health, uh,

still untreated and unresolved and

with additional,

uh, significant mental and emotional injuries and, of course, the

physical injuries,

uh, that were brought about by her being on

testosterone for years

and, uh, without her body parts.
