Marci Bowers (WPATH President) admits she is "powerless" to do anything about Kathy Rumer
Despite what Marci said. There is action Marci can take within her "Jurisdiction."
Feel free to ask her all about this . Marci seems like she is pretty responsive on her instagram.
Edit: While we are putting public pressure on Marci to drop Rumer's WPATH membership, while this is unrelated to WPATH, this page also needs to go pronto. Here is the contact for that. It's up to us to evict Rumer from our community because the people who hold the power are complicit, we need to hold their feet to the fire.
Sorry out of the loop. Is this because Kathy Rumer has done shoddy SRS surgeries?
Yes, lots of shoddy surgeries.
But it goes beyond just bad surgeries. Unethical aftercare and abuse of power, blackmailing whistleblowers by witholding post-op medical care as punishment for negative reviews, etc.
Hang around this sub long enough. There are always girls showing up for a day or two to sound the alarm and then they're gone two days later due to legal/medical threats.
Omg that sounds horrendous.
It gets worse tbh. I believe Matt Walsh interviewed her for "What Is A Woman?" and she was on film basically spouting blatant transphobic talking points. At least I think that was her... I really don't want to go back and re-watch that shit to confirm.
Anyway at this point it's pretty clear she hates her own patients.
I'm trying to find this Matt Walsh interview. Fraternizing with the likes of him is completely unacceptable. We're drafting a petition and public call to action for Marci's resignation from WPATH.
There’s tons you can find with google.
I don’t think you’ll have much luck though. She has done this before and still became WPATH president.

Thank you.
IANAL, but the only possible legal threats I'm imagining are libel which doesn't stand a chance unless the statements are factually incorrect or editorialized, or possibly a claim of tortious interference, but I don't know how that could stick either. If someone is asking a question and you simply answer it, then you aren't attempting to interfere in someone's business, just share an outcome.
People need to state the facts plainly and without editorializing (the word "butcher" gets tossed around indiscriminately a lot) and stand their ground. It's easy to send someone a legal threat, but far harder to act upon it, and harder still to not be counter-sued for bringing a frivolous suit. I don't bully easily when someone hurts me.
Not many can afford a lawyer.
Even when I couldn't, I still didn't let myself be bullied. You can not be successfully sued for saying true and accurate things. People go off the rails when they make factually untrue or exaggerated statements. The best thing for anyone having invasive surgery is to keep a written and video journal documenting everything that transpires, good and bad.
I can attest she has done ALL of this to me.
She's commonly referred to as "The Butcher of Ardmore," (small town outside Philadelphia) Let's just say you don't get a nickname like that for no reason.
It's because they both want $ and don't really care about the trans community.
I hope this is not a leak of a private conversation?
Its public comment on Marci's Instagram.
Good... Thank you.
