When I say gender-affirming care is life-saving, it is literal. It is not hyperbole. My heart goes out to families and friends who have experienced such indescribable pain. Protect trans kids. Love trans kids. Gender is a spectrum, like the colors of the rainbow. 🏳️‍⚧️💖🏳️‍⚧️💖🇺🇸💪🏻🇺🇸💪🏻

Obstetrics & Gynecology journals have existing language guidelines, including with regards to gender. These should not change to accommodate the CDC, NIH, federal government etc If papers are then not published then papers are not published, but this is not the time for accommodation #MedHub

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.
