Planned Parenthood Faces Lawsuit Over Gender-Affirming Care for Autistic Teen

Cristina Hineman, a self-described 'detransitioner,' claims the organization failed to properly assess her mental health before providing testosterone and other treatments.

  • Hineman alleges Planned Parenthood negligently provided gender-affirming care without sufficient mental health evaluation.
  • The lawsuit claims Hineman, diagnosed with autism, was influenced by online content to pursue transitioning.
  • Hineman underwent top surgery in 2023 and soon regretted her decision, experiencing PTSD and physical complications.
  • Planned Parenthood, a major provider of gender-affirming care, has not yet commented on the lawsuit.
  • The legal team representing Hineman has a history of filing similar 'detransition' cases.
