When you erase trans men and non-binary people in conversations, you forget them.
This has downstream effects.
You forget them in policy. You forget them in access to care. You forget them in protections.
This is dangerous.

Taking it further I do my part training the next generation of OB/GYN residents and fellows to provide the same level of care. The decision to not continue a pregnancy is gut wrenching, should only be made by the patient & their doctor. The reason is none of your damn business!

Roe v Wade is dead.
It is no coincidence that we are watching abortion rights fall the same year the most anti-trans/lgbt laws have been passed in history.
These are two sides of the same coin in the same fight and the same people are fighting with the same justifications.

Pediatricians are being told (warned) to stay in our own lane and not weigh in on the toll of gun violence on children. If preventable death isn’t “our lane,” I’d like to know what is. Child advocacy is as integral as otitis treatment to the practice of pediatrics.

No one is born racist. This young man was molded and shaped.
While politicians were busy talking about how antiracism is what’s poisoning our public life.
Folks, I need more med-student-friendly recipes for my repertoire (ie. cheap, quick, and filling with leftovers potential). This is part of my meal prep for the week: one-pot achiote rice and beans with veggies and quinoa. What is your go-to?

And there are docs who will open their mouths to say ‘but medicine must be apolitical’.
If you don’t speak up now as we watch people stripped of basic rights, you are choosing violence for your patients. It’s truly that simple
