“When [someone] casually shares information about...their experience...listen. It means that they trust you to receive what they’re saying. Respectful questions like, “What was that like?” or, “Why is it like that?” can deepen the conversation and be valuable learning moments.”👏🏼

I see all too often feminism discussions don’t mention race. It’s especially glaring when it omits black women. It’s feels as if the discussion of equal women’s right is about white women and leaves out other women of color. 3/

Pt told me “I don’t talk to chinks.” Afterwards a black security guard asked me how I was doing & told me he knew all too well how it felt. I was ok, and it did suck—but his validation and kindness helped a lot. Look out for each other, sometimes it’s all we can do. #MedTwitter

Everyone - and especially health care professionals - needs to work on eliminating #WeightBias and #stigma. #obsm
Pediatric health care professionals can play an important role in efforts to address the stigmatization of people with obesity and increase the awareness that stigmatizing obesity does not reduce obesity or improve healthful behaviors. @DrStephenPont @DrSteveCook

The sad thing about #microaggressions is that they have lasting impact on the target or victim. Years later, many of us need healing from that attending, supervisor instructor that said something or did something hurtful. If you can apologize do it, even if it's late. ##PWChat

I think this is one of the biggest problems here: the bystanders who see what is happening and say nothing. Often the one being on the receiving end is not in a position to speak up. Bystanders need to start speaking up. #PWchat
One way of coping is to look to othes for support as some have mentioned. The most important role for the #bystander is to check in!
AFFIRM what just happened. This is very important. Just Don't be silent. Provide support & if safe to do so, take action. #Upstander

Yes. The simple act of a #bystander acting as an #upstander and offering support, even if they don't have power, is psychologically healing. We need more people to speak up & say this is not OK both to the target & if possible to the microaggressor or their supervisors. #PWchat
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #PWChat
Absolutely. In my experience, lack of a knowledgment from the bystander who is a trusted or esteemed colleague can sometimes be just as, if not more, disconcerting and hurtful than the #microaggression itself. #PWChat
👏🏼👏🏼 Not only ensures there’s no inclusion but also (at least personally) makes people feel even further ostracized and frustrated from/with society/the healthcare system/academia.
Yes. because even if medical schools check the box of diversity, ongoing microaggressions ensures that there is not inclusion. inclusion is not something that is mandated because it is harder to measure than diversity, but diversity without inclusion is incomplete #PWChat
