#MedTwitter Any IM programs with unfilled spots interested in taking a military trans resident about to lose their job?

#MedTwitter I'm once again asking for the best IM residency programs for transgender docs getting banned from the military.

Anyone have recommendations for good civilian IM residencies for a trans person who may be displaced by another trans ban?

You cannot simultaneously say that "distress is not a reason for body modification" and also support breast reduction, low T clinics, hair transplants, etc. If you use this argument only against trans people, that's bigotry, not medicine.

I cannot put my grief into words. But… #Pediatrics does not back down. We will continue to work days and nights and holidays and weekends to do the right thing for children and families. We won’t be silenced. We won’t be bullied. We are children’s health experts and our life’s work is protecting our most vulnerable. Game on.

Vaccines are good. Anti-depressants are good. Modern medicine is good. Fluoride in water is safe and protects teeth.

You comment as if this were an own, however there are many babies whose heads don't pass through women's pelvises. If pelvis size defined gender, you arbitrarily decide that women are no longer women.
Did you know that no baby’s head has ever passed through a man’s pelvis, ever?

Excluding women from womanhood doesn't prove the point you think it does.

So everyone is trans? Maybe you should look into what words mean before you comment.

The MAHA crew wants to “ban glyphosate” - which isn’t surprising considering that RFK Jr. was on the legal team for the lawsuits claiming glyphosate causes cancer. It doesn’t. There is over 30 years of data to show that. But he’s made LOTS of money off lawsuits AND fear. 1/

“It’s not going to affect you.” It did. From July 26, 2017 - Jan 25, 2021, it did. And how unbelievably incredibly privledged a person must be to not be affected and not care about the others who were and will be.

Your vote is critical today to prevent this antivax dipshit from having power over our health institutions.

Presence of pretty lab numbers doesn't always mean that compensation is appropriate. Do your math.

Common sense is not always rational. You cannot cite common sense and expect it to do your heavy lifting for you.
