***TRIGGER WARNING! GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF HATE CRIME AND VIOLENCE*** A trans woman friend of mine was Medically assaulted.


transdimensionalboundaries:

Keirah Rose is a friend of mine personally. She recently came out and told all of us that a few years back she was at an anime convention and got herself into a situation where she needed medical help.

Once they found out she was a trans-woman the medical staff proceeded to abuse her. They tore off her clothes and tore her hair out of her head. They laughed and said horrible things about her body. While they thought she was unconscious they tore her urinary tract with a catheter, leaving her genitals heavily mutilated and fractured.

They abandoned her to walk for 4 miles barefooted and with minimal (paper) clothing. She was bleeding both externally and internally and had no bladder control.

She is now in frequent pain and was advised by her medical doctor to get treated ASAP by either getting SRS or genital reconstruction. She chose SRS which is going to cost her about 10,000 dollars not counting pain medicine, antibiotics, hotel stay, food, etc.  She hopes to see Dr. Saran in Thailand. 

She is kindly asking for signal boost of this story and for any donations anyone can spare.

One user who kindly donated had issues with the donation website do Keirah made a Paypal. which is linked to an0npr0xi1@gmail.com 

Thank you thank you for all the help everyone!
