What happens when those who sought gender-affirming treatment are left with regret, chronic pain, and irreversible damage? Prisha Mosley and Clementine Breen are two voices in a growing group of detransitioners speaking out about the dangers of “gender-affirming care.”

Teens in Crisis Pushed to Transition

At just 17, Mosley was already grappling with anorexia, suicidal thoughts, and trauma from sexual assault. In her fragile state, online transgender activists convinced her that her pain stemmed from being “born in the wrong body.” She believed them and turned to medical professionals for help. Within months, she was prescribed testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy.

Now, at 26, Mosley looks back and calls these treatments out for what they are —“pseudoscience” and “quackery.” She recognizes that her distress stemmed from untreated mental health struggles and a need for truth. But instead of receiving proper care, she was ushered into a medical process that changed her body forever.

Irreversible Pain and Damage

Clementine Breen’s story is even more harrowing —and now, it’s a legal fight. Breen, a 19-year-old college student, is suing Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy, one of the leading figures in “transgender medicine.” At just 12 years old, Breen was put on puberty blockers and given testosterone, eventually undergoing a mastectomy at 14. Breen now suffers from a deep voice, an Adam’s apple, brittle bones, and severe physical and emotional pain.

Breen is suing based on the failure of medical staff to treat her properly with medical safeguards and accurate treatment. Instead, she was pushed into irreversible treatments even though she could not possibly comprehend the consequences. In favor of promoting left-wing ideology, Dr. Olson-Kennedy ignored psychological concerns and basic medical standards in favor of a transition for adolescent Breen. Now Breen, like Mosley, is left with lifelong damage and regrets and hopes to shut down doctors like Dr. Olson-Kennedy.

Exploitation for Profit

Breen and Mosley are not alone. Their cases shine a spotlight on the medical system that has allowed children and teens to be pushed down a path of gender transition with little regard for their mental health or the irreversible consequences of such decisions. The rapidly growing number of similar lawsuits reflects the increasing dissatisfaction and anger of detransitioners who were exploited for profit by a system that prioritized transitioning over real care.

As Mosley put it, “As soon as a person says, ‘I’m trans’ or, ‘I have gender dysphoria,’ doctors start experimenting on them and lie to them and don’t hold themselves to medical standards anymore... There was nothing wrong with my body that had to be treated with medicine.”

For Mosley and Breen, the consequences are devastating: chronic pain, regret, and a sense of betrayal from a medical field they thought they could trust.

Fighting for Justice

As more individuals speak out about the dangers of gender-affirming treatments, the push for accountability grows. Lawsuits like Breen’s are part of a broader legal reckoning, with detransitioners fighting for justice after undergoing irreversible procedures at the hands of doctors they trusted.

For the time being, America’s children have received a reprieve from the insanity of the pressure to transition. Now is the time for the church to stand up and demand a permanent, irreversible ban on these life-altering procedures. By standing firm in biblical truth, we can help guide society toward a healthier, Bible-based conversation on gender and family roles, while protecting the most vulnerable, like Breen and Mosley, from irreversible harm.
