At 67 years old, Buddy Wolf is finally getting the gender affirming care to match who he has felt like his whole life.
Buddy Wolf is a regular at the Center for Elders Independence in San Leandro . It's where he receives his health care under Dr. Eileen Kim. And for Wolf, that care now includes gender affirming care and soon, surgery. 'My dead name was Nancy Jean,' Buddy said on a recent visit. Buddy â who has cataracts and is legally blind â said he knew since he was 5 years old, when he told a department store Santa, he wanted to be a cowboy, that he was always meant to be a man.
Before she passed away, I made a promise to her that I wouldn't commit suicide and that if I ever got the chance I could get surgery, I would get it. And that's kind of sort of is where I'm at now,' Wolf said.'Buddy is loads of fun, he's easy to talk to,' said Dr. Kim who was already Buddy's doctor when he came to her one day with a request for gender reassignment treatment.It was the first case of its kind at the center and certainly not the last.
