queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025The midline scrotal skin is typically used as graft to line the vagina. The lateral scrotal skin typically makes labia majora. Do not recommend. I’ve seen a lot of interesting forearm tattoos end up on a penis :) 140
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025That is who you want operating on you. So if a Black woman introduces herself as my surgeon, I will feel safe, cared for, and privileged. Because I know how much more it took for her to get there. 0120
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Sometimes, what we perceive as a weakness will actually forge a superpower. I overcame more than many to get here. And that’s exactly what a DEI hire is—someone who has faced greater obstacles and still excelled. 180
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025That endurance and resilience now defines me in the OR. I am flexible, adaptable, and calm under pressure. I can pivot seamlessly, navigate complex cases with precision, and maintain full control no matter what’s happening around me. 140
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Over time, I refined my tics, shaping them into controlled, safe movements—until I overcame them entirely. They didn’t make me worse. They made me better. Stronger. Safer. Overcoming them every single day was like running an emotional and mental marathon—again and again. 140
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Go ahead—call me a “DEI hire.” Growing up with Tourette’s, I often felt like I had no control over my own body. My tics disrupted me, held me back, forced me to adapt. But they also taught me to be creative, to find new pathways when the typical ones failed me. They built resilience. 230
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Tucker Carlson posted a video about “DEI hires” in surgery. I’m a plastic surgeon. I grew up with Tourette’s syndrome. Patients travel from across the country—and internationally—specifically for my surgical care, including procedures that only a handful of surgeons in the world perform. 3340
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 02/03/2025It is never too late. There is room to take a step forward. We welcome you into that space. 030
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Maybe you do not know a trans person. Maybe you don’t understand trans people. That does not matter. What is clear is this was never going to stop with trans people. You likely know and love gay people, immigrants, teachers, federal workers etc. 161
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 02/03/2025No one is safe until everyone is safe. By allowing one groups rights to be stripped, we risk losing our own. Trans communities continue to fight for their own liberation, and the liberation of every single one of us. We are all tied together in this fight. 120
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 02/03/2025LGBTQ. It goes back the direction it came. To gay communities. It does not stop there. It will keep rolling uphill. Reproductive freedom and women’s rights will follow. 130
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 02/03/2025LGBTQ. It is literally spelled out for you. It shifted to target the trans and queer community. 10 years later we are seeing the trans community be stripped of rights on all fronts. As the number of fronts left to attack narrows, where does the anti-trans resistance, targeting and energy go? 120
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 02/03/2025Gay marriage is being targeted. Lawmakers in 9 states have asked the Supreme Court to reverse its landmark 2015 ruling securing federal protections for gay marriage. Let’s rewind. In 2015 when gay marriage was won, where do you think all the anti-gay targeting, resistance and energy went? 1150

queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Off to my annual nerve and microsurgery conference. Brought a special guest this year. 0291
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Thank you and welcome to those following :). 0240
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 15/01/2025Realized the hashtag I use on my content on meta has been getting censored for awhile. Queer is not a sensitive topic. It’s a reclaimed term for many. An identity for some. A community for all. 49810
queersurgeon.bsky.social @queersurgeon.bsky.social · 12/01/2025A Blue sky certainly gives a healthy dose of optimism. Here is to hoping. 0281
