A 20-year-old woman has accused Planned Parenthood of rushing her into a gender transition when she was 18, leaving her with lifelong side effects.

Cristina Hineman has filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest single provider of abortion, contraception, reproductive care, and sex education.

The organization has in recent years also become a leading provider of gender transition hormones for young adults, offering the service at more than 400 locations. At least 40,000 patients have gone to Planned Parenthood for hormone treatment this year.

Hineman claims she was given a prescription for testosterone following a 30-minute consultation with a nurse practitioner after she was 'brainwashed' by YouTubers, The Free Press reported.

She said she was left with permanent effects from the testosterone, including hair on the backs of her hands and face. Her clitoris has become permanently enlarged and constantly feels 'uncomfortable.'

Meanwhile, Hineman says her sexual response has been dulled, and that a double mastectomy left her chest scarred and 'alternately numb and raw.' 

Hineman says she went to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Hudson, New York, in November 2021 as soon as she turned 18. She was desperate to obtain testosterone after being faced with her parent's skepticism about her gender dysphoria. 

The teenager was reportedly instructed to fill out a consent form for 'masculinizing hormone therapy.'

According to medical records, a nurse practitioner noted that Hineman had 'consulted with a mental health provider.' The nurse and Hineman then discussed 'expected changes,' such as growing a beard and body hair and a deepening voice.

The two also reportedly discussed that 'changes to fertility may be permanent or reversible.'
