STATUS: Filed in the NC House on 3/31/2025.Â
North Carolina’s restrictive statute of limitations denies justice to victims of gender-transition malpractice, leaving them with no legal recourse. Prisha Mosley, pressured into gender treatments as a teen, now suffers permanent medical complications, but her claims were dismissed due to the state’s narrow legal window.
These procedures cause severe long-term harm, including sterility, osteoporosis, and heart disease—many effects emerging years later. European health authorities have severely restricted these treatments, and even the American Society of Plastic Surgeons admits there is “considerable uncertainty” about their safety. While over 25 states, including North Carolina, have banned them for minors, past victims remain unprotected.
The Civil Procedure Amendment would extend the statute of limitations for medical malpractice while facilitating or perpetuating gender transition to 25 years after a minor turns 18 or 4 years after the discovery of the injury and the causal relationship between the injury and the treatment. The bill will ensure that those permanently harmed by medical gender transition—like Prisha Mosley—can hold the medical industry accountable.
