An 18-year-old California woman is threatening to sue Kaiser Permanente for gross negligence and fraud after doctors convinced her to begin “transitioning” to male at age 12 and to have her breasts removed at 15 — treatments that are now causing her physical and psychological distress.
Attorneys Charles LiMandri and Harmeet Dhillon sent a letter to Kaiser Permanente advising the healthcare consortium that their client, Chloe Cole, intends to sue for the maximum damages allowed by law because of the “permanent irreversible mutilation and damage to her body” wreaked by Kaiser’s doctors, who performed unnecessary “medical experimentation” on her without properly informing her of the associated risks.
