Historic Lawsuit Against Planned Parenthood By Detransitioner After Being ‘Pushed’ into Life-Altering Hormone Therapy
When Cristina Hineman was only 18 years old, she visited a Planned Parenthood in Hudson, New York, to seek options for hormone therapy to address her ‘gender dysphoria.’
According to a new lawsuit filed by Hineman against Planned Parenthood, she was given life-altering testosterone following a brief 30-minute evaluation with a nurse practitioner despite facing mental health issues including self-harm, depression, anxiety, and autism.
Not satisfied with killing millions of babies, Planned Parenthood has branched out.
According to The Free Press, they have become the country’s leading provider of gender transition hormones for young adults, according to insurance claim data, and the service is available at nearly 450 locations of their locations.
Insurance claim information provided to The Free Press by the Manhattan Institute shows that at least 40,000 patients went to Planned Parenthood for this purpose last year alone, a number that has risen tenfold since 2017. The largest proportion, about 40 percent, were 18- to 22-year-olds.
Hineman told The Free Press she realized she had made a terrible mistake and that gender was not the source of her problems. “I was brainwashed,” she says now.
The lawsuit details that she was “heavily influenced” by pro-trans content online and feels betrayed by health professionals who failed to treat her underlying conditions.
Less than a year after starting hormone therapy, Hineman underwent a double mastectomy.
After struggling to recover from the surgery, she shared, “I had the realization this never should have happened. Pieces of my body are missing.”
Hineman said she stopped testosterone and started detransitioning six weeks after the body-altering surgery.
“I felt horrible about everything, about my body, about my life, and the fact that everyone has been kind of playing along with this for years now,” she said.
