Mel Jefferies, a 33-year-old Victorian woman, is suing two doctors and Monash Health in the County Court, claiming they negligently facilitated gender transition treatment despite her unstable mental health.
Jefferies, who previously identified as non-binary and transgender, alleges that the care she received—including testosterone treatment and a double mastectomy—left her with irreversible physical harm and severe psychological trauma. Her legal claim argues that the defendants failed to follow professional care standards by initiating gender-affirming treatment while she was dealing with complex mental health issues, including borderline personality disorder, depression, and suicidal ideation.
Jefferies’ case was reported today in Australian legacy media (paywalled), and outlines a turbulent history of treatment beginning in 2011, marked by inconsistent gender identity, repeated psychiatric hospitalisations, and periods of regret. Although earlier doctors had advised further psychological support before any transition, she was prescribed testosterone and later referred by a psychiatrist for public funding of a mastectomy through Monash Health. Despite documentation of her fragile mental state, her mastectomy went ahead in 2017. Jefferies says the procedures intensified her self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and contributed to post-traumatic stress disorder and alcohol misuse.
She is seeking damages and ongoing treatment costs.
The case, one of the few detransition-related lawsuits in Australia, could become a test case for the medical duty of care in the context of the so-called “gender affirming care models”. It comes amid growing debate about the risks of reduced psychological assessment requirements and a push for broader access to gender treatment via GPs. While some argue cases like Jefferies’ are rare, others insist that detransition is underreported and medically mishandled.
The defendants are expected to file their responses next month.
Poor thing. What the medical “profession” has done to vulnerable people going through a confusing time in their life is irreversible, irresponsible and diabolical. My heart goes out to her and I hope she wins this case. You’re a very brave lady and just know there are thousands around the world backing and supporting her ❤️❤️❤️
Well that will close the gender change industry down toot sweet.
Let’S hope so. (It’s tout de suite BTW) – French 🤣🤣🤣
The medical corporation is not to be trusted. Never ever.
Most are obsessed with money and how to get as much as possible in the shortest time as possible. Mistakes are never recognized or mended. And if it goes really wrong patients are declared ” insane” or subaltern personnel is accused of their own mistakes
And beware, european criminal doctors are sent through university exchange to Australia and New Zeeland, just to keep them of the way of justice
Totally. Voyager 1 has adjusted its settings and the message is, “stay on earth”. In other words no more effin’ around with the hoi polloi.
Can’t make up …..’s mind?
Buyers remorse
If you have a throbbing penis, then leave it alone!
If you have a vacillating vagina, then…leave it alone!
This ‘Gender Transition’ psy-ops is politically motivated to erase natural identities. and cause confusion.
End result in some cases; SUICIDE!
But, several Nation / States already euthanise kids WITHOUT THEIR PARENTS KNOWING ABOUT IT!
There are even ‘Death Capsules’ where you can close the lid and never wake-up…
The Satanic plan under Luficerianism and Zionism is well underway for ‘Global De-Population’.
What do I do if I have a penis and a vagina?
That goes in the too hard basket
Leave them alone.
So, if I’m reading this correctly, we are really dealing with people with psychological problems and they should be treated, on that basis? Isn’t that what many of us have been saying, from the get go, when this all kicked off?
“” referred by a psychiatrist for public funding of a mastectomy”” – that’s a major part of the problem. There should be no public funding for tranny surgery ever – and doctors who perform these operations belong in prison for the rest of their lives.
