Our 501(c)3 sister organization, the North Carolina Values Institute (ncvi.org) filed an amicus curiae brief in the US v. Skrmetti case, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to affirm the decision of the Sixth Circuit, and protect a state’s right to pass laws shielding youth from sex-change experimentation.
In the US v. Skrmetti case, Tennessee faces off against the Biden administration, and argues in favor of the right of states like ours to pass laws protecting minors from harmful drugs and surgeries.
No one knows the need for states to pass these protections better than North Carolina’s Prisha Mosley (check out her story here). After identifying as a male at 15, Prisha started testosterone treatment at 17 and had a double mastectomy by 18. After detransitioning at 24, Prisha realized “they really made me into a lifelong medical patient.”
NC Values has spent years helping Prisha get her story out. In addition to filing the first detransitioner suit to proceed in court against her former medical professionals, she has been working closely with Alliance Defending Freedom in the US v. Skrmetti case.
Prisha has been a huge help to our efforts in the state, and helped us get laws passed in North Carolina that protect kids. We helped Prisha testify before committees for the “Youth Health Protection Act” and the “Gender Transition/Minors Act”, where she shared her story personally with legislators. We truly couldn’t have passed protections against surgically or hormonally changing the biological sex of anyone under 18 without her help.
Her efforts are straightforward: she wants to protect other children from experiencing the type of manipulation and harm she did. We hope you join us in praying for Prisha, and for everyone involved in US v. Skrmetti that are fighting to protect our kids.
