Thomas "Jennifer" Usher is a man who lives in San Francisco's Mission
Hotel, a city-sponsored, case managed hotel for the indigent. The Mission
Hotel has been described by the SF Weekly newspaper as "The Vice Hotel"
and is primarily a hang out for drug dealers and prostitutes as can be
seen in the article linked to here:

Usher claims to have had surgical *** reassignment in Thailand and is now
a woman. He has been photographed with arms and face covered with bed-bug
sores:

An acquaintance confirms his decrepit and unsanitary living conditions in
this post (among others):

Thomas claims he is "comfortable" living in case managed housing at the
Mission:

Thomas appears completely unaware of his deplorable living conditions and
spends most of his time writing Usenet messages on the transgendered
newsgroups with three basic themes:
1. How much of a success he his since his (presumed) ***-change surgery.
2. How wonderful a life he leads in San Francisco.
3. His peculiar ideas on just who is and who is not actually a woman.
In point of fact Thomas has written over 68,000 Usenet messages in the
last seven years :
He appears to be employed part-time as an administrative assistant by a
department at UCSF.

Prior to his posting career in the transgendered newsgroups Thomas
****trayed himself as a young "hacker" boy named "Tommy" while he was still
35 years of age (reference above). Creepy at best.
