StatNews [Feb 22] -- CDC will no longer track trans identity in its health surveillance systems, incl. HIV monitoring & its key Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance--the only nationally representative data on trans youth, used by states to develop/refine programs. [@rikiwilchins.bsky.social‬]

Excellent meeting of the Philly c&a psychiatry journal club Friday. Discussed this meta-analysis from Feb 2025 @jaacap.bsky.social on acute mania. Concl: SGAs > mood stabilizers, risperidone leading the pack. Caution: metabolic AEs common, as expected #psychsky www.jaacap.org/article/S089...

1. Yesterday, Maine Governor Janet Mills confronted Trump to his own face at a Governor's Dinner over his anti-trans EO. When he threatened her for allowing trans people in sports, she responded: "See you in court." The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

Since I posted about the YRBSS for #lovedataweek2025, it has this new false and filthy qualification at the top of the page. Shameful.

So now he thinks he can do my job better than me. #psychsky #medsky #nursesky “assess the prevalence of and threat posed by the prescription of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, antipsychotics, mood stabilizers, stimulants, and weight-loss drugs.”

Oh I love this

And now for some good news. #ProtectTransKids #medsky #nursesky #psychsky

What is going on here? Transgender people exist. They cannot be erased from history or from our communities. Attempts to erase and exclude one vulnerable group threaten us all. @altnps.bsky.social

How prescient is the theme of #lovedataweek2025 "Whose data is it anyway?" with CDC pages removed and NIH spending cuts. Does human data belong to the humans? Who has the right to make it disappear? Still-there-so-far link to some VIP data www.cdc.gov/yrbs/data/in... #medsky #nursesky #psychsky

1. Feb 11 is Int'l Day of Women and Girls in Science. Last week I spent an evening with an enthusiastic group of 8-10 year old girls making glowing slime, elephant toothpaste, and dry-erase stick figures float in water. One of them squealed "Science is FUN!" Let's celebrate #EveryVoiceInScience

Did you know this is #internationallovedataweek? ILDW is a celebration of #data for data creators, analyzers, and everyone who recognizes how data impacts our lives. @icpsr.bsky.social has made a great toolkit to help you get started. #medsky #nursesky #psychsky www.icpsr.umich.edu/web/about/cm...

Is it surprising that fan loyalties can be good for your mental health? I'm pretty sure I know what most of my patients will be talking about tomorrow. Congratulations to @philadelphiaeagles.bsky.social for an incredible game tonight!!! #gobirds #psychsky www.apa.org/news/podcast...

This is the human rights issue of our time. One day your children and grandchildren will ask you what you did to protect their rights. #ProtectTransKids

I remember, as a young mother, feeling anxious about the vaccines my tiny baby was receiving. Education helped me to see them as the lifesavers they are. Let’s work on having open conversations with patients’ caregivers so these diseases don’t see a comeback. #medsky #nursesky

Thank you Governor Josh Shapiro! #Nursepractitioners improve access to care and patient outcomes. #medsky #psychsky #nursesky www.aanp.org/advocacy/adv... www.npjournal.org/article/S155...

BREAKING NEWS: We’re SUING TRUMP! 🏛️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🧵

When you can’t rely on Phil, there’s always Harleysville Hank. Now, of all times, we need a promise of brighter days ahead!! www.mainlinemedianews.com/2025/02/01/h...

Excellent discussion last night with our C&A journal club about this article from @turban.bsky.social in January’s #JAACAP. Especially important in light of misconceptions about and recent EO targeting gender-affirming care for youth. #psychsky #ProtectTransKids www.jaacap.org/article/S089...

1. How are the school districts in your area responding to the recent Executive Orders? Please reach out to your school board on behalf of the LGBTQ students in your community. Every voice matters. Don’t let hate be the loudest.

The Trump administration’s stop-work order is killing children and adults in Sudan, Yemen, Gaza — all over the world. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Donald Trump has just released a national under 18 trans care ban executive order. I am working through specifically how it tries to do this, and will live tweet here section by section as I read through it. It is not yet on the website, but has been released via press release.

Welcome immigrants from X interested in science to the friendlier skies of @bsky.app, as documented by a new @nature.com survey (but you already knew that 😉) "Bluesky is much better for science. There is much less toxicity, misinformation, and distractions." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I'm a James Taylor fan who'd never heard this one "But Herod’s always out there He’s got our cards on file It’s a lead pipe cinch If we give an inch That Herod likes to take a mile It’s best to go home by another way Home by another way We got this far to a lucky star But tomorrow is another day"

BUY ALL THE COOKIES!!! 🍪💚🏳️‍⚧️

Just purchased to read and share with my colleagues and my patients’ caregivers. #protecttranskids

Great discussion #Freakonomics on penicillin allergy. A few members of my family have PCN allergies of dubious origin. This can cause a host of problems --use of broad-spectrum abx with greater ADEs, incr risk for C.Diff (happened to my mom), and abx resistance in the community. #medsky

“For those questioning the importance of Skirmetti to their clinical practice, other areas of medicine could soon be part of these culture wars. State justifications... as well as the Court’s positive responses..., illuminate the plausibility of growing state interference in medical practice.”

Asking my kiddos at work today, “when mum or dad say it’s time for a shower, do you hop in the shower?” #pedspsych
