One of the largest medical providers in California, Kaiser is now being sued for providing gender transitioning services to a teen girl.

18-Year-old Chloe Cole said Thursday that she is suing Kaiser Permanente for a transgender surgery performed on her when she was 13.

In a complaint filed with the San Joaquin Superior Court, her lawyers claim, a team of doctors at Kaiser performed what they describe as a mutilating sex change experiment, instead of focusing more on Coles mental health, which they say included gender dysphoria.

It's become a national debate with some arguing children are incapable of understanding the magnitude of a gender transition and should not be allowed to do so.

Cole, who said her parents support her decision to sue the hospital, explained that she has since de-transition back to her gender at birth, a female.

I missed having a more feminine body, I missed some of the little things about female socialization, she said.

During Thursdays press conference, Coles lawyer, Harmett K. Dhillon claimed Kaiser misled the family into agreeing to gender-transition therapies.

She claimed doctors told Coles parents at the time that she may commit suicide without gender-altering care. She also accuses the hospital of concealing less invasive treatments, such as weekly psychotherapy.

Interesting that they don't mention what kind of surgery was involved. I mean, the few times I've heard about in regards to minors and transitioning, it was always performed by some sketchy doctor in a third world hospital. Make me think this was just hormone blockers, as is the norm in these situations.

Why do you behave like this, hoth?

Dude looks like Screech from Saved by the Bell and got fired from a job as a cart boy at Kroger.

What else can he do but shitpost worthless drivel like this?

She went to the hospital for surgery. If she wanted to address her mental health issues and not surgery then she probably should have opted for a psychiatrist instead of a hospital.
