Lecturer Ruby Frischer Discusses Facial Feminization Surgery

OAKLAND NORTH -- Frischer worked three jobs to fund her surgery, working at In N Out, at a restaurant as a cook and teaching at San Francisco State University in the English Department. “I saved all my money, literally cleared out my bank account,” Frischer said. She spent a total of $13,000 on her surgery, and was supported by her partner at the time, who was in turn transitioning from female to male. (Frischer’s former partner uses the pronoun “they.”)
