🩺 Health data isn’t just what’s recorded—it’s what’s missing.
Missed visits. Unreported symptoms. Cultural stigma.

These gaps fuel health risks for underserved communities.

At SRI, we build digital health tools that find what’s missing—and why.

Dear Elsi people, I have a manuscript on trans data in biobanks. Where do you think is the best venue for it to submit?

One argument used by transphobes in court against puberty blockers is that if children assigned male at birth is “how will they experience sexual pleasure if their genitals don’t develop [from testosterone].”

And I think the appropriate response is: “Objection—skill issue!”

My university (@westernu.ca) is offering up to $160,000 CAD in funding to support doctoral students impacted by recent changes in higher ed in the US.

I need more trans friends who also experienced war. Please… i can’t bare this…

Why do bioethicists LOVE the concept of “equipoise” in shared decision making? It’s like a general criticism that they make on any SDM paper.

Oh my god.

They removed "transgender" from the page about Trans woman Sylvia Rivera's page at the National Park service.

"Sylvia Rivera began fighting for gay and _____ rights"

WOW.

How being trans in America right now is contingent upon my graduation status?

Am I being unprofessional? I don’t know. Does it matter?

I wish I was dead. Academia doesn’t want me. No country wants me and I feel the loneliest. I should have been writing my dissertation but all I am thinking is that no matter what I write it ends up being illegal or not counted as philosophy cause it is “unoriginal” according to my department.

I cannot find any reasons to live that outweighs not to. I’m scared…
Sorry, scientific community, I am going to vent for a while…

With all my heart, I feel why Sarah Hegazi wrote: “I tried to survive and I failed.” These days, I am failing and I am so sorry that I am not strong as before…

My department send me an evaluation letter telling me that they want my work to be “original “ and they do not see any progress like a professional philosophy. I have two papers in R&R. One is Published. The only reason that I can think of is that they do not accept trans philosophy as philosophy.

I feel so numb and lonely. These are dark days for trans history. We survive and throve tho for sure….

I know right? I was super excited to find you!
