This claim is a first step towards a possible lawsuit and asks for 314,000 euros (approximately 3333,000 USD). It alleges that Domínguez was misdiagnosed, did not receive adequate psychological support, and that hormone treatment aggravated her mental health condition.
Domínguez told the outlet that she was 15 when she was introduced to the transgender narrative through YouTube influencers who claimed their mental health improved after transitioning. At age 16, she started receiving testosterone through the public health system. She had a double-mastectomy at 18 years old, which she and her family paid out-of pocket.
When Domínguez was 19, her endocrinologist recommended she have a hysterectomy, also facilitated by the public health service. Shortly after having her uterus removed, Domínguez realized she had made a terrible mistake.
She stated that it took her about six years from the moment she believed she was transgender until she realized that her mental health problems (depression, suicide attempts, and recent discoveries that she might be autistic) had impeded her ability make responsible decisions.
Domínguez told El Mundo that she is angry with her psychologist because, when she confronted him, he allegedly told her he knew transitioning would not help her. She is now on estrogen therapy as she cannot make it naturally.
