I am assuming at some point, I will be falsely accused of some misconduct, which will be assumed credible solely by the virtue of my being trans, and trans people no longer have the assumption of benign intent

I’m in a high risk group for this type of campaign

A prominent advocate in a high profile position in health care.

I’ve already preemptively met with administration and legal to navigate how I would approach this should it happen

Scary times to be a trans person with a public facing job

The rich and powerful get different medical care, and essentially follow different screening guidelines, because cost-effectiveness is no longer a determinative factor in decision making

I am a trans physician and there is absolutely a way that caring health care providers can balance the need to acknowledge anatomic and physiologic reality in the medical context while respecting the dignity and identity of the patient

blaming Tyler Robinson’s trans girlfriend for Charlie Kirk’s death is like blaming Jodie Foster for the Reagan assassination attempt

It is not a crime to have a trans girlfriend.

SEGM is evidence based only on the sense that they have an outcome of interest that they are extremely wedded to, and they are seeking an evidence base to support their preferred outcome

The level of surveillance and policing demanded by transphobia will always be more disruptive to your life than the rights and demands of trans people ourselves

Who refused to state who they were, what their conflicts of interests may have been, and how much they were compensated (if any) for being part of this process
