Kayla, who was born a girl, decided she was a “boy” at the age of 11 after studying about the transgender community online, according to her lawsuit filed last week in California State Court.
But by the age of 17, she realised it was all a mistake and that the adults around her had failed to protect her because she was a child.
“The hardest part was being sold something that I believed was going to help me and make me feel better, only to do it and come out on the other side not feeling any better,” Kayla said in a YouTube interview. “I could always have waited, but I can’t undo it.”
Kayla is suing Kaiser Foundation Hospitals and four individual doctors in California, demanding unspecified damages for causing “deep physical and emotional wounds and severe regret.”
“They essentially handed Kayla the prescription pad and allowed her naive, emotional, childish rollercoaster of feelings to dictate the so-called ‘treatment’ that she would receive,” the lawsuit alleges.
Kayla’s attorney at the Centre for American Liberty, Mark E. Trammell, told The New York Post that the hospital and doctors “breached the standard of care that they should be held to as medical professionals” by allowing her to shift so swiftly.
‘This lawsuit is about a team of doctors who opted to undertake a harmful, fake sex change experiment on [Lovdahl], who was then a twelve-year-old fragile girl battling with serious mental health co-morbidities,’ according to the 35-page complaint.
Forced to undertake psychotherapy sessions to repair the mental harm caused by the treatment, Lovdahl and her lawyers claim their prognosis was premature, giving the impressionable adolescent the ‘erroneous assumption’ she was transsexual.
According to the lawsuit, clinical psychologist Watson, who is also the clinical director of Kaiser Foundation Hospitals’ Oakland Medical Centre “Transgender Clinic,” conducted a single, 75-minute transition evaluation to reach that decision.
An official from Kaiser Permanente issued the following statement to The Washington Post: “When adolescent patients, with parental consent, request gender-affirming care, the patient’s care team carefully evaluates their treatment options and then makes a multidisciplinary team of doctors and other experienced professionals available to the patient and their family for information, counselling, and other support.
“Care decisions always rest with the patient and their parents or guardians and, in every case, we respect the right of patients and their families to make informed decisions about their personal health.”

A short-statured Ghanaian woman has sparked online debate after making contentious remarks regarding her romantic relationship preferences.
During a recent interview with De God Son TV, the diminutive lady expressed her aversion to dating guys of shorter height despite her diminutive Ghanaian woman. She remarked that short men do not match her “specifications” for relationships.
When questioned about her explanation, she stated that she sees shorter men as resembling infants, even though they are adults.
“I have a 7-year-old son, so dating a short man feels like dating my son,” she explained, finding parallels between her personal and romantic lives.
Once again, Nigerian singer Davido has made headlines for proving his status as a rich man with two luxury cars entering Nigeria: a Rolls-Royce and a Tesla Cybertruck.

Coming out as HIV positive was harder than coming out as gay — Gay activist Bisi Alimi
Bisi further added that an average man expects to follow a predefined path of growth, which includes teenage years through university level, to get a degree and a job.
He noted that he couldn’t follow the predefined path of growth, which was why he came out to declare his sexual orientation.
Bisi Alimi further said that his making his sexual orientation public doesn’t mean he did to throw a party, but rather to shun all expected people placed on him.
”I am not coming out to spite you; I have been gay since way back; I didn’t just become gay yesterday.”
