We were in the courtroom Tuesday to support our friend Prisha Mosley as the North Carolina Court of Appeals heard oral arguments in her medical malpractice and fraud case. Prisha was subjected to sex-rejecting procedures as a minor that permanently mutilated her body. Now, she is suing her doctors and counselors for medical malpractice and fraud. Our sister organization, the NC Values Institute, filed an amicus brief urging the Court to allow her claims to be heard. Detransitioners deserve the opportunity to have their voices heard and their day in court. We are standing with Prisha in her pursuit of justice.
