RALEIGH, NC — Prisha Mosley says doctors permanently altered her healthy body when she was a vulnerable teenager. Now, after more than three years of litigation, she’s fighting for something she has yet to receive: the chance to put her medical malpractice claims before a jury. 

Mosley, an Independent Women ambassador and detransitioner, appeared before the North Carolina Court of Appeals, where her attorneys urged the court to revive medical malpractice claims against healthcare providers involved in her medical transition. 

The appeal marks a critical moment in Mosley’s fight for accountability, and comes as a growing number of detransitioners across the country have been gaining more traction to seek accountability from the medical professionals who treated them. 

“I am nervous and excited for my chance at justice. Detransitioners deserve our day in court,” Mosley said. “A jury should hear what was done to me. I have the truth on my side.” 

Mosley began medical transition as a teenager after experiencing significant mental health struggles, including childhood trauma and an eating disorder. She was prescribed testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy. She says the sex-rejecting chemicals and procedures left her with permanent physical and emotional harm.

Following the oral arguments, Mosley and JoshPayne, one of her attorneys and co-founder of Campbell Miller Payne, joined Katie Pavlich Tonight for an exclusive interview breaking down the case and what is at stake.  

“The truth is that detransition is really a mental act. It’s the decision to stop making the harm worse because what my doctors have done to me is irreversible,” Mosley said. “There’s no going back to the body I had before I was medicalized. I’ll never be able to buy new breasts with all of the money in the world or suck the testosterone out of my body and make it like it was before. But detransition has been a mental reconciliation with my sex, accepting that I’m a woman and a female and healthy ways to be one.”

Mosley first filed suit in 2023 against multiple healthcare providers, alleging medical malpractice, negligence, and fraud related to medical care and treatments as a minor for her then-gender-confusion. 

Previously, her malpractice claims were dismissed, even though under a new North Carolina law (HB 805), the statute of limitations is extended for patients like Mosley who have been under the care of medical providers receiving sex-rejecting treatment. Her attorneys are now asking the Court of Appeals to allow those claims to move forward—giving a jury the opportunity to hear the evidence and decide whether the healthcare professionals Mosley trusted should be held legally responsible. 

“It takes real courage to face the many hurdles of litigation and stand up for truth and justice. Prisha’s strength and determination is an example for us all. We look forward to a just outcome in this appeal, which will allow her to prove her case to a jury,” said Payne.

The Daily Wire published an op-ed by Mosley hours ahead of oral arguments in her last stand for justice, highlighting the height of the stakes at hand. She writes: 

“Even after years of litigation, a jury has never had the chance to hear the evidence that those who enabled my transition misled me through illegitimate advice.

“While no court could ever reinstate my breasts or unravel the damage that the gender ideology movement has done to me, there should be a clear avenue for people like me to seek accountability, without having to jump through legal loopholes and constant appeals.”

  • Despite the North Carolina statute of limitations law change in 2025, Mosley’s claims were dismissed, prompting her legal team to file an appeal in September 2025. 
  • In April 2026, Mosley’s lawyers took her groundbreaking case to the North Carolina Court of Appeals—seeking to reinstate medical malpractice claims that could reshape accountability in gender medicine.
