A detransitioner’s malpractice lawsuit against doctors she says counseled her for years to undergo a double mastectomy and begin hormone therapy was initially dismissed as untimely, but a new North Carolina law has allowed her to appeal.The state Court of Appeals will hear arguments on Sept.
29.Prisha Mosley, now 28, was first prescribed hormones at 17 and underwent a double mastectomy at 18.She later sued the doctors and other medical providers for fraud and malpractice, alleging they misled her about the treatment and its effects."I'm a mammal, a human, so I wasn't able to change sex.
I didn't need to change sex because that's not possible and nothing was ever wrong with my body.Destroying it with hormones and surgery did not make me happy or well," she told Fox News Digital in an interview.A trial court in North Carolina initially dismissed Mosley's lawsuit on the basis of the statute of limitations.
But, as Mosley explained to Fox News Digital, a law passed in North Carolina in 2025 extended the statute of limitations for medical malpractice lawsuits specifically for people who have undergone gender transitions.DETRANSITIONER WINS SETTLEMENT AFTER SUING PROVIDERS FOLLOWING GENDER SURGERYPrisha Mosley, who transitioned to male and began taking testosterone when she was a minor, poses for a photo in Michigan on Nov.3, 2022.
