| I really appreciate that they're not only reinforcing the executive order, but also that they're going out of their way to target this issue on every front that they can because that's exactly what we have to do. | |
| This doesn't end with bans. | |
| We have to go all out in holding everybody who was involved accountable. | |
| How would that look like in your mind? | |
| It's something that has to be illegalized on both the state and federal level so that no child ever is going to be hurt ever again. | |
| We have to address what happens in place of the affirmative model and of those who have already been hurt. | |
| We have to go after the manufacturers of the drugs, of the medical devices that they are giving to children. | |
| And we have to ensure that there are measures out for patients who have been affected. | |
| And I also think that one of the biggest parts of holding these people accountable is through the court system. | |
| And I think right now there are 20 or so public cases that have been filed. | |
| Many of them have been unsuccessful. | |
| They've either been thrown out or they have been stagnant. | |
| But I've had a huge development in my case recently and my lawyers are very confident that we are going to go to trial. | |
| And I want to suck out every last penny from Kaiser, from my doctors, for everything that they have done to me. | |
| I want them to feel everything they have done tenfold. | |
| And it's not about revenge. | |
| It is about accountability. | |
| It's about creating a precedent for every patient, for every young person, for every child, every family who is hurt in the way that I and my mom and dad were. | |
| With this lawsuit, can you give me a brief kind of overview of what it is? | |
| So I am suing Kaiser Permanente, which is my old healthcare provider, as well as the hospital where I underwent the surgery, my surgeon, my endocrinologist, and the psychologist who referred me to surgery. |
