At age 15, Prisha had an existing mental health diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD). But living in a university town in a very liberal state, Prisha’s doctors were eager to treat the young woman with the new trend of “gender-affirming care” instead of treating her existing mental health diagnosis. The girl was rushed down the road of cross-sex hormones and mutilating surgery.

Prisha and her parents say the doctors manipulated them into medical “transitioning.” At the time, Prisha says her mental health condition felt unbearable. “So, I just took the cure that was handed to me,” says Prisha. “I was told that I was being given a cure and that I wouldn't want to kill myself anymore.”

Prisha was put on testosterone, and then underwent a double mastectomy, removing both of her healthy breasts shortly after she turned 18.

But surgery and hormones didn't make things better. It made them worse. As the years went by, Prisha realized she was more miserable than before. She sought out a therapist who would treat her original mental health condition. It made all the difference in the world.

Now 25 years old, Prisha has “detransitioned” and is living as a woman. But a lot of grief and anger remain.

“I have borderline personality disorder, and I know for a fact that this is the reason for my [dysphoria],” says Prisha. “It is a very difficult mental illness and one of the core features is not having any sense of self or identity. My doctors KNEW this,” yet they chose to treat her mental health disorder with highly profitable yet permanently damaging chemicals and surgeries, instead of the therapy Prisha actually needed.

“I really feel like some people in the trans community and the trans-medicalists and the doctors really, really target the most vulnerable of us.”

“I lost my voice, I lost my chest, I don’t know if I am ever going to be able to have kids,” Prisha gasped through tears.

“I can't believe this happened,” says Prisha, now 25. “I ruined my life. When you break it down, I decided that I didn’t want to be a woman, before I had ever even experienced what it means to be a woman. I had no idea what being a woman was like because I was a child. Now I feel like I will never entirely know.”

Prisha is speaking out now in hopes of saving other girls from the fate she has suffered. She now advocates for proper mental health care.

But Prisha and girls like her won’t be able to get proper mental health care in one of the more than 80 cities and states that have banned change counseling.

Help Liberty Counsel overturn the bans on Christian change counseling!

Rather than treating temporary gender dysphoria with permanent and damaging solutions of chemical cocktails and mutilating surgery, change counseling uses talk therapy to address underlying mental health concerns.

Minnesota governor turned vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has banned change counseling in his state. So has Democrat Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear who, as you may recall, Liberty Counsel successfully sued after he had every member of our client's church cited for attending parking-lot Easter services during COVID.

Why does the pro-LGBTQ and “trans-medical” community hate change counseling? Because it works. Change counseling has been proven to successfully resolve gender dysphoria. And because it is proven to work, change counseling defeats the LGBTQ lie that a child can be born in the wrong body.

Rather than accept the plain truth, the radical left has sought to BAN this lifesaving practice in more than 100 cities and states nationwide. Liberty Counsel has overturned 23 of these bans, freeing people in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida to seek and receive the counseling of their choice. But more than 80 bans remain. Liberty Counsel will continue to fight and sue until each and every ban is overturned — including those bans enacted by Tim Walz and Andy Beshear.
