A detransitioner filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood after it prescribed her dangerous cross-sex hormones without accurately informing her about them.
By Grant Atkinson, with Alliance Defending Freedom
Most people know Planned Parenthood for its relentless promotion of abortion. Since 1973, the organization has taken the lives of nearly 10 million unborn children, racking up billions of dollars in the process. In its 2022-23 annual report, Planned Parenthood reported $2.5 billion in net assets, and the vast majority of its revenue came from abortions.
But in recent years, Planned Parenthood has begun promoting and facilitating another disturbing procedure: testosterone treatments for those who are confused about their gender. Christina Hineman is one young woman who fell victim to Planned Parenthood’s dishonest promotion of what it wrongly calls “gender affirming care.” Thankfully, she is now seeking to hold the organization accountable in court.
Dangerous promotion of cross-sex hormones
Planned Parenthood first began offering cross-sex hormones, including testosterone, at about two dozen of its locations in 2015. In less than a decade, the number of locations offering this service has ballooned to nearly 450, The Free Press reported.
In 2023, at least 40,000 people went to Planned Parenthood to get cross-sex hormones, and people aged 18 to 22 made up the largest proportion of them. Cristina Hineman knows exactly what that experience is like.
Tricked into receiving harmful medical procedures
Shortly after she turned 18 in November 2021, Cristina made an appointment at a Planned Parenthood location in Hudson, New York. She was experiencing discomfort with her body and uncertainty about her personal identity.
Instead of staff taking the time to work through these issues, Cristina said Planned Parenthood prescribed her testosterone gel after an appointment of just 30 minutes. Cristina is on the autism spectrum, and even though Planned Parenthood acknowledged that she had previously spoken to therapists (which implies there are other mental health factors at play), it provided the prescription after very little consultation.
Unsurprisingly, the testosterone treatment did not solve all Cristina’s problems like many YouTubers and social media influencers had promised.
“I was brainwashed,” Cristina now says. “A lot of people say that adults should be able to do whatever they want. But if you have mental illness that’s clouding your view, or you’re so misinformed about what gender dysphoria even means, then you cannot consent to such invasive treatments.”
After a little more than a year of what had harmfully been presented as “treatment,” Cristina realized she did not want to change her gender. She now considers herself a detransitioner, a term describing people who have ceased their attempts to change their gender. Unfortunately, many detransitioners must live with lifelong side effects from the dangerous medical interventions they endured.
Holding Planned Parenthood and others accountable
In April 2024, represented by Campbell Miller Payne, PLLC, Cristina filed a lawsuit against the health-care providers who took advantage of her, including the Planned Parenthood nurse practitioner who prescribed testosterone when she was 18 and the plastic surgeon who removed her breasts when she was 19. It is the first lawsuit in the country from a detransitioner challenging Planned Parenthood’s reckless facilitation of experimental “gender medicine.”
Many people are ill-informed about what will happen to them when they undergo these treatments. Cristina realizes now that she didn’t receive all the necessary information about the growth that would form around her private parts or the effects of removing her breasts, among other things. She says she is taking action to try to help others from suffering the same fate.
“I don’t want this to happen to other young people like me,” Cristina says. “Young people with mental health problems who struggle to find their identity, I don’t want them to be rushed down this path and to feel like this is the only choice they have to live a good life, because it’s not, and people don’t tell you that in these kinds of spaces.”
Cristina is joining people like Isabelle Ayala and many others in challenging the harmful decisions of medical providers who push people down the road of so-called “gender transitions.” Even when things may look grim, their courage helps remind us of the objective truth found in the Bible.
God created each of us either male or female, and that sex cannot be changed. He created us for a purpose, and when we align our ways with His, we will find the greatest meaning and satisfaction in our lives.

Time for a major wakeup call on crucified young people who do NOT have fully developed brains. This is wrong. It’s pure evil. Democrats are destroying this country and the world. I used to be democratic minded five years ago. This past years since have awakened me to be 100% republican/liberterion. I’m done with this BS.
Notice the witchcraft wordcraft used to promote chemical castration, genital mutilation, child abuse, coercion, and crimes against humanity? The way Planned Parenthood and the liberals sell depopulation and sterilization makes it all sound so legitimate, plausible and acceptable. Mind control tactics – perfected over decades to sell sancturary that turns into human misery in short order. Big Pharma and Big Brother…two of the four horsemen of the apocolypse. Women and children first…that is the plan.
Planned Parenthood, (who was originally called the American Birth Control League of 1921) transitioned to Planned Parenthood because of Margaret Sanger’s abortion policies, and the Eugenics Sanger was involved. Basically it gave the ABCL is bad name, so it was changed to PP. The ideas of Sanger never changed, after her death. They were about killing babies (at a profit) ; and today selling baby parts (at a profit). They are also about the sterilization (men & women) so they can’t reproduce. I am not racist but Margaret Sanger certainly was She (in her writings) referred to Black People as weeds, and said we need to eradicate these weeds. She was referring to her Eugenics project, and killing babies. That project spilled into UVM with Zoology Professor Perkins taking the lead to the Eugenics project where at least 250 Abenaki Native Americans were sterilized. This also filtered into Nazi Germany in the late 1930’s through the early 1940’s in creating a Master Race. It is the same evil (spirit) that existed then. It just has a new name.
Remember Christina, Isabelle and everyone else in this lawsuit that you are loved!!! Forever loved and brave!!! And you all have a purpose to get the truth out there to save lives. Because they lied to you, there is no way informed consent was given and because of the damage they caused they will have to pay.
I know the Dems are doing this for making lots of money but other possible reasons need to be explored. It’s evident that they don’t care about what happens to children after trans treatment because they just cut them loose-Someone should look at the (school shooter last year??), the 28 year old biological female with autism in Nashville who was trans and had to be on testosterone and very angry. Wasn’t she mad she wasn’t completely a male, (no penis)? So she shot and killed 9 year olds, Christian children and teachers at the school she had gone to, why ??? Are the dems producing future school shooters full of hate? Do they hate Christians? Was this done for climate change, population control or just to create more chaos??? Please make them pay for all of the children they’ve harmed.
Because of the shield laws our Legislature and Senate passed, this kind of lawsuit might not be possible in Vermont. These kinds of victims of transitioning have no recourse in Vermont.
It was Vermont’s UVM zoology’s professor Henry Perkins who came up with the Eugenics program targeting certain cities and towns in Vt in the 1910-1920’s. It was Margaret Sanger who came to visit Perkins!!! It was hitler who came to visit Perkins!!!!
Today’s planned parenthood is racist and doesn’t care about anyone but making money. It’s clearly evident that they hate children and plan to sterilize as many of them that they are able. You have Dems in the current administration who have openly talked about women who work to get an abortion instead of having that baby—so abort the baby for the economy and climate. This is crazy!!!!They lied to everyone. What’s worse is that they lie to children telling them they were god and could change their gender and because they lied then they can be held accountable for damages. Prove to everyone that they lied and performed medical malpractice with experimental drugs and surgeries. Even if this case goes to the US Supreme Court you are right and they are wrong and don’t ever forget God is with you!!!
Planned Parenthood is a euphemism for planned murder…Ann Cummings, are you listening?
