• Kayla Lovdahl said doctors urged her to undergo a double mastectomy aged 13 that left her with 'deep physical and emotional wounds and severe regrets'
• She said despite clear mental health issues, medical professionals urged her to undergo invasive surgeries for profit
• Lovdahl is now suing the hospital and doctors for unspecified damages, alleging they pushed 'ideological and profit-driven medical abuse'
A California woman is suing the hospital that removed her breasts when she was 13, claiming her doctors pushed her into the procedure under the 'erroneous belief' she was transgender.
Kayla Lovdahl, now 18, says she underwent the invasive surgery after being urged to 'entertain' the plans by medical professionals when she was just 11-years-old.
According to a lawsuit filed by Lovdahl against Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and four doctors, it is claimed they 'handed Kayla the prescription pad, and allowed her naïve, emotional, childish, rollercoaster of feelings to dictate the so-called 'treatment' that she would receive.'
The legal challenge comes amid a growing chorus of 'de-transitioning' youths, many of whom claim they were subjected to death threats and intimidation after turning their backs on the 'cult-like' transgender community.
