Kaiser ignored his mental health issues and affirmed his femaleness and removed his penis.
Kaiser created a never healing wound.
That wound is constantly infectious.
No doctor knows how to help Richard.
Urgent care will not treat his infections.
Richard is passed among perplexed doctors - no one knows how to help him.
These same doctors are complicit in their silence.
Richard has to wear special undergarments.
The medical community keeps sends him back to the butchers and gender ideologues who created his medical problems.
“We don’t know how to help” they say - translation - “we don’t care to help. Please move along and bother someone else.”
Richard was abandoned by all those who enticed him to live a delusion.
The parents and TERFS of San Francisco - you know those hateful bigots who should be bludgeoned to death - are trying to help Richard. Those gender critical parents help pay for Richard’s meals. Those TERFS visit with him and take him to dinner, drop off groceries, fill his Venmo account so he can survive.
This should never have happened to Richard.
As a transgender woman I really don’t know how to react.. my long term relationship with Kaiser and the Sacramento LGBTQ center have all been positive.
I think there is more here than just “sound bites”.
My other comment is I wonder what the posters experience or relationship with both Kaiser and the Center is?
Also, I suspect the poster is anti LGBTQ and is attempting to rouse up the base..
I also that medical for this person is readily accessible.

Of course a penilectomy would cure BPD and Schizophrenia.
