Michelle Zacchigna "transitioned" from female to male more than a decade ago, but she is now filing a lawsuit against the doctors who were quick to carve her up for the sake of trans ideology.
From The Post Millennial:
A detransitioned Ontario woman who was prescribed testosterone and underwent both a bilateral mastectomy and a hysterectomy during a mental health crisis in which she believed herself to be a man is suing the healthcare providers who allegedly facilitated her medical transition.
Michelle Zacchigna, 34, of Orillia has filed legal action against a total of eight doctors and mental health professionals who treated her during the years that she identified as transgender. Zacchigna alleges that each failed to address her complex mental health needs and instead allowed her to self-diagnose as transgender and undergo irreversible procedures that she now deeply regrets.
Instead of letting people who clearly have a mental health issue, which is what transgenderism has always been classified as until recently, Canada insists on "affirming care." This means pushing the lie that someone can be the opposite sex.
Michelle knows now that she was dealing with mental illness, but none of the doctors dared call it that. Instead, they gave her hormones and put her under the knife.
The Statement of Claim filed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice documents a series of what Zacchigna said are failings spanning years of treatment. Zacchigna began pursuing medical transition in 2010 when the affirmative model of gender care was still in its infancy. Under this model, clinicians affirm a patient's self-diagnosis of a transgender identity and provide medical interventions such as hormone therapy and surgeries rather than the traditional exploratory psychotherapy.
Zacchigna endured severe bullying as a child and experienced serious mental health issues throughout her teenage years as a result.
"Later, I would learn that what I experienced in childhood was developmental trauma," she wrote. "It affected the trajectory of my life. My personality completely changed. I went from a loud, fierce, opinionated child to a passive, shy teenager with low self-esteem."
In 2009, at the age of 21 and after years of depression, anxiety, self-harm, and a suicide attempt, she discovered the concept of gender identity on Tumblr, and became convinced that all her problems were because she was transgender.
Thousands of people like Michelle live in a largely online world and are convinced they are the opposite gender against all basic human logic and ontological reality. Groomer schools and celebrity culture only make it worse.
Zacchigna alleges that all the defendants failed to address her serious mental health issues and developmental disabilities and instead only offered her irreversible medical interventions. She alleges that her desire to become transgender was never challenged, and alternative treatment options were never offered.
"The Defendants permitted Michelle to self-diagnose as transgender and prescribe her own treatment without providing a differential diagnosis or proposing alternative treatments," reads the claim.
We need these lawsuits everywhere!
