Is it possible?

I am currently a college student and there is another student telling people that I was born with testicles and had them surgically removed. Is it possible to sue her for slander since this accusaton is not true and I feel this may affect me in the future?

There are thousands of posts similar to yours so I have prepared a standard answer:

Get a lawyer.

Invest $20K and three years.

Sue the bad people for defamation.

If you win, expect them to keep doing it.

If you lose, expect them to keep doing it.


Stand by for other opinions.

You can't sue someone for what might happen in future.

Unless you can point to some specific damages that you have already suffered as a direct result of her making this claim, you have no standing to sue.

And even if it weren't true and every student you met on campus pointed and laughed you still wouldn't have a case.

I think that even though this experience is not fair, slander has to be written, not spoken, I would just tell her to shut up and try to ignore it, as long as you know the truth and your friends know the truth, that is all that really matters...IF you ignore her, it will eventually stop. Its a sick game that sick people like to play...There is obviously something seriously wrong with her, and talking about you only makes her feel better about her inner demons...Just go about your life and this too shall pass.

Slander cannot be written, only libel can, and slander, unlike libel, has a much higher burden of evidence to hold up in court. Even if you did sue for slander and did win(which would be very hard) you would most likely be in even worse shape. Do you really want to be known as the girl who went to court to prove that she wasnt born with balls? Id say to let it go.
