Detransitioning woman, 18, suing Kaiser Permanente for 'pushing her' into gender-changing surgery aged 12 claims doctors spent just 75-minutes evaluating her and told her parents 'It is better to have a live son than a dead daughter'

Now 18, Kayla Lovdahl is suing the medical professionals responsible for her transition more than five years ago - claiming doctors spent just 75 minutes vetting her before setting out on the life-altering ordeal
Now 18, Kayla Lovdahl filed the lawsuit last week in California's San Joaquin County Superior Court, accusing multiple Bay Area professionals of fast-tracking her treatment - while flouting factors such as her poor mental health.
It specifically names doctors Lisa Kristine Taylor, Winnie Mao Yiu Tong, Susanne Watson, and Mirna Escalante as defendants, who provided Lovdahl with puberty blockers, testosterone, and a double mastectomy by the time she was 13.
Years after she underwent a double mastectomy aged 13, Lovdahl now says the procedure left her with 'deep physical and emotional wounds and severe regrets'
Instead of warning Lovdahl about the finality of the treatment - or advising her to explore her gender issues through psychotherapy - the providers automatically, and erroneously, declared the youth to be transgender, the suit claims.
Also named in the sensational suit - which comes amid a growing chorus of 'de-transitioning' youths expressing regret over their life choices - is the hospital who removed her breasts, and the provider who presided over the process.
