I transitioned to become a boy at 17. I believed I'd never want children or change my mind. Then I had a shattering revelation - and now I'm suing the medical professionals who encouraged me.

Prisha Mosley has transgender regret at the age of 26 years old. She has a six-month-old son but cannot breastfeed him due to a double mastectomy she had at just 18 years old. 

The young mother has been left with serious health issues from the medical interventions used to treat her gender confusion.

Prisha endured severe nausea throughout her pregnancy because she was desperately low on natural female hormones as a result of years on puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. 

Other complications from the chemical castration drug regime included her baby being too big while her uterus was too small. 

Her hips did not properly develop making it very painful as her baby grew.

Incontinence is a common problem with the drugs and pregnancy amplified the issue. 

Prisha also suffers from insulin resistance, polycystic ovary syndrome, and has oversized neck and shoulder muscles that her small female skeletal frame is not designed to carry.

Prisha describes the heartache of not having breasts to feed her baby.

‘He looks for milk and it’s not there,’ she sighs. ‘My chest is numb and covered in scars and lumps so it’s not soft and pillowy, like it should be for a baby.

‘I produced milk that was trapped in my chest with no way to reach my nipples because they had been severed, reshaped and reattached to my chest in the wrong spot so it could look like a boy’s chest. It was the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life,’ she shudders.

‘I can feel him against my neck, shoulders and stomach, but it’s like there’s a big hole where my chest should be because there’s no sensation there.’

Other consequences that females on these harmful drugs experience include vaginal, pelvic and bladder atrophy which is basically a thinning of the walls, making them more fragile and painful.

Prisha and other girls who go on to puberty blockers and cross sex hormones also suffer from a deeper voice, often resulting in pain if they try to sing or speak in higher octaves. 

It is one of the irreversible side effects along with male patterned baldness. 

Prisha and other girls are victims of a deceptive ideology that lies to them and says their problems will be gone if they just “change sex.”

‘I was under the misconception that it was possible to change sex, and I thought I would never want children or change my mind about living as a man,’ she says. ‘But I grew up and realised I’d made a terrible mistake.’

Many gender-incongruent girls are looking to identify out of being female due to underlying issues like being on the spectrum, eating disorders or trauma.

‘I thought a lot of the trauma I experienced didn’t happen to boys and they were stronger and tougher and had easier lives.’ In her vulnerable state, she says she was targeted by trans activists who entered a pro-anorexia internet chatroom that she belonged to.

‘I was being told by these activists that my misery was because my body was fighting to be a boy.

‘I was a child, and I believed it. I thought: “My body’s not just horrible, it’s entirely wrong. All my problems are because I’m really a boy.”’

‘I wasn’t well. I was unstable. I’d been seeing therapists for years for my mental health struggles and suddenly, because one day I changed from saying I hated myself and I was fat to saying I thought I was a boy, all my symptoms were put into a single category of gender dysphoria.’

Parental rights and responsibilities are also threatened as trans activists in the health and education systems paint them as transphobic or bigoted if they want to save their children from such irreversible harm.

‘They’re painted as abusers because they don’t want their child to undergo this extreme medicalisation. I’m in contact today with parents who have taken their kids to hospital because they are cutting themselves, or the kid says they are transgender and they’ve been removed by child protection services and the parents haven’t seen them since.’
