A girl from California, United States, is suing the hospital and the doctors who treated her for removing her breasts when she was 13 years old, because she thought she was transgender.
The young woman, who has already turned 18, says she was encouraged to maintain the mistaken belief that she was transgender, claiming that the medical staff did it only for money.
At age 11, Kayla Lovdahl was convinced she was transgender after being exposed to online influencers, she said in a lawsuit she filed in California State Court against Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and four doctors, according to information from the New York Post.
Her parents were at a loss for what to do when Kayla told them she was a boy, but they sought help from medical professionals who immediately reaffirmed the idea that the girl was transgender. At the age of 12, she was already taking hormone blockers and testosterone without an adequate psychological evaluation, because, according to what this girl recounted in her legal presentation, she had only one transition evaluation that lasted 75 minutes.
On the other hand, Kayla affirms that her mental health problems should have been red flags for the doctors who treated her, since she said that, according to medical studies, the mental health of girls does not usually improve with the transition. Instead, she claims, the doctors told her parents it was better for them to have a living son than a dead daughter.
The vast majority of children with cross-gender identification, if medically treated in early adolescence, are at risk of regretting the decision after they are old enough to realize their losses.
Now Kayla’s lawyers expressed in a statement that the procedures to which the girl was subjected were an insane form of child abuse, because in states like California, reckless ideologues promote this radical agenda. Finally, the girl assured that these procedures left her with deep physical and emotional wounds, as well as severe regrets.
