A woman who thought she was transgender as a teenager alleges in a lawsuit that a Gaston County surgical practice and other medical providers lied to her about her gender identity, leading her to make irreversible medical decisions.
Charlie Mosley, who now uses the name Prisha Mosley, alleges in a lawsuit filed in Gaston County Superior Court that two therapists in Greensboro, a pediatrician in Chapel Hill, and a surgeon in Gastonia misled her about her gender identity and the effects of gender affirming care. The lawsuit alleges that they withheld information from her and misrepresented her psychological status in order to funnel her toward hormone treatments, which she began while she was still a minor, and eventually surgery.
The lawsuit names Dr. Eric T. Emerson, a doctor at Piedmont Plastic Surgery and Dermatology, Brie Klein-Fowler, a therapist at Family Solutions, Shana Gordon, a therapist at Tree of Life Counseling, and Dr. Martha Fairbanks Perry, a doctor who then worked at Cone Medical Services.
According to the lawsuit, Prisha Mosley's troubles began at the age of 14, when she was sexually assaulted and suffered a miscarriage. At age 15, she was hospitalized for a week at Moses Cone Memorial Hospital for depression, and by 16, her diagnoses included major depressive disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder and an eating disorder.
For these, she was prescribed multiple medications, including an antipsychotic.
Mosley eventually met with Gordon, a therapist, who allegedly told her she was actually a boy. Gordon allegedly misled Mosley into believing that she was a boy and that changing her body would solve her psychological problems, the lawsuit states.
Despite her ongoing mental health problems, Perry validated Mosley's struggles with her gender identity, going behind her parents' backs to move her into a gender transition, the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit alleges that Perry ignored red flags, such as Mosley's suicidal ideation, and prescribed her testosterone injections to aid in her transition. Mosley says that she was not informed about possible side effects, including vaginal atrophy, the inability to have sexual intercourse, a permanent voice change, pain in her shoulders, neck and vaginal area, and possible infertility.
