Detransitioner Prisha Mosley believes the Trump administration’s moves to ban “gender-affirming care” for minors could have saved her from transitioning when she was a teenager, she told the Daily Caller in an exclusive interview.
“This is what I needed to happen when I was going through this, when I was struggling and I was vulnerable,” Mosley told the Caller. “My doctors came to me with lies, and I really wanted to believe them. I really wanted it to be true. I wanted it to be possible that I could transform into a man who was not mentally ill or traumatized, and I believed them.”
President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at banning sex changes for minors on Jan. 28, days after his inauguration.
“What I needed was bans, and that’s why I advocate for the bans,” Mosley said.
Mosley is a detransitioner and ambassador at the Independent Women’s Forum (IWF). She began to socially transition to appear as a boy at 15, started testosterone injections at 17 and had her breasts removed to masculinize her chest when she was 18, according to an article from the IWF. Mosley destransitioned at 24, the Caller has learned.
Mosley now has narrow hips, broad shoulders, hair growth on her face and body and a permanently lowered voice. She lacks any sensation in her chest and has to deal with vaginal atrophy and dryness. The detransitioner also believed she was infertile for a time.
Miraculously, Mosley conceived and gave birth to a son, but not without complications. She had to have a C-section and her hormone imbalance caused her child to be big, according to the New York Post. Mosley had “rocks” underneath her chest, which her doctor said were milk masses trapped under scar tissue without an outlet since her nipples were reattached.
Mosley attended a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) workshop Wednesday titled “The Dangers of ‘Gender-Affirming Care’ for Minors.” (RELATED: PRISHA MOSLEY: It’s Not Hateful To Advocate For Ethical Medicine)
The workshop was designed to help the FTC “understand whether consumers are being or have been exposed to false or unsupported claims about ‘gender-affirming care’ and to gauge the harms consumers may be experiencing,” according to the FTC website. Section 5 of the FTC Act prohibits “unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce.”
Speakers included doctors, whistleblowers, medical ethicists, detransitioners and detransitioners’ parents. The workshop emphasized the importance of Trump’s executive order, according to the IWF.

Although Mosley said she has seen progress since the executive order, she is advocating for more action.
“Some gender clinics have … close[d] their doors to minor patients so they don’t lose funding — which proves this is about money — but some of those same places have actually continued the practices,” she said. “I think there needs to be actual consequences for lying about that and more accountability and justice needs to come for those who have harmed, and for who have been harmed.”
“I think there needs to be criminal prosecution for the people at the top who have pushed these lies the most on the most vulnerable people in the communities,” Mosley told the Caller.
Mosley hopes that the FTC workshop will lead to greater honesty and clarity regarding these practices.
“I hope that there will be less fraudulent advertising when it comes to the sale of what is the product of gender-affirming care,” she said. “It’s snake oil, and doctors can’t keep exaggerating the benefits and minimizing the side effects.”
“They have very carefully and craftily hidden and disguised the harm that they’re doing. I mean, even when detransitioners go back to gender clinics they tell us that we’re just on another version of our gender journey, not that we were harmed and realized that we were actually the men and women we were born as,” Mosley said. “It’s gaslighting.”
And Mosley will not stop at protecting minors.
“I don’t plan on stopping my advocacy until there’s a total ban,” Mosley told the Caller. “If it’s a lie to a child, it’s a lie to an adult. Fraud is fraud, adults can’t consent to lies. Adults can’t consent to scams, and mentally ill adults shouldn’t be experimented on.”
Mosley said she hopes Congress will step in and make these policies federal before future administrations can erase the progress Trump has made.
