US detransitioners take ‘gender-affirming industry’ to court

Nov 1, 2023 by

from The Christian Institute:

Two women who say they were pushed into medical transitioning as teenage girls are taking legal action against their ‘gender-affirming’ medics.

Luka Hein alleges that University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) staff fast-tracked her into drastic sex-swap surgery, while Isabella Ayala accuses doctors in Rhode Island of ruining her body with cross-sex hormones.

In April, the US Assistant Secretary of Health and Human Services, Rachel Levine – a man who lives as a woman – claimed any opposition to ‘gender-affirming care’ is “ideologically and politically motivated”.

‘Barbaric’

Speaking of her experience Luka said: “I am someone who went through the gender-affirming care industry as a minor.

“I was a teenager with multiple comorbidities and mental health issues who was struggling and was put down this path instead of given the help I actually needed, resulting in the first medical intervention I ever had being a double mastectomy at 16.”

“I was one of the kids that needed a chance to just grow up and get the help I needed. I was one of the kids that needed the adults to step up and do what is right.”

The Center for American Liberty, which is supporting Luka in her action against UNMC, said her “trauma at the hands of medical professionals” is “a wake-up call exposing the nation to the barbaric realities of ‘gender affirming care’”.
