20-year-old Isabelle Ayala is suing her doctor along with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) for inducing and performing “gender-affirming medication” on her as a child.
The lawsuit reads, “Plaintiff Isabelle M. Ayala (fka Giovanni Ayala) is the unfortunate victim of a group of actors who prioritize politics and ideology over the safety, health and well-being of children.”
The complaint alleges that AAP as well as seven doctors and 15 “John Does” are guilty of “civil conspiracy, fraud, medical malpractice, and other causes of action related to their collective failure” to properly treat Ayala for her suicidal thoughts. , depression, and anxiety.
At fourteen, Ayala was convinced by doctors to start testosterone and other hormone therapy to begin transitioning into a man.
Ayala later made an unsuccessful suicide attempt six months into treatment, claiming that transitional care continued regardless.
The procedure was likely motivated, according to the lawsuit, by a 2018 AAP policy statement promoting guidance to help children receive “gender-affirming care.”

In August, the AAP quietly endorsed the policy, although it acknowledged that a systematic review is needed to assess the treatment’s success.
Despite this, the AAP maintains the current policy.
“The board has confidence that the available evidence is such that the current policy is appropriate,” Chief Executive Mark Del Monte said. “At the same time, the board recognizes that additional details would help here.”

The principal author of the policy Jason Rafferty is among the defendants.
Ayala is seeking “compensatory and punitive damages” as well as “attorney’s fees and costs, and such other relief as this Court deems appropriate and just.”
“Isabelle is now twenty years old and longs for what it could be like to have a healthy female body again,” the lawsuit says. “The testosterone changes in his body are a constant reminder that he needs an unbiased medical professional willing to assess his mental health and provide the care he needs, not a group of ideologues willing to promote their own agenda and advance a broader conspiracy at his expense.”

Fox News Digital reached out to the American Academy of Pediatrics for comment but has not yet received a response.
Ayala’s lawsuit is the latest in a growing list of young adults suing medical clinics, doctors and other groups for “gross malpractice” in refusing experimental gender treatments.
However, Ayala was the first to directly target AAP.
