This past year, I had the honor of co-authoring a piece with @manionjen.bsky.social and @cjstreed.bsky.social in the the New England Journal of Medicine. We read every article written about individuals we now know as LGBTQ. I welcome your thoughts and reflections: www.nejm.org/doi/full/10....

For over 25 years I have loved and been loved by transgender people. I have also spent my professional life advocating for trans people of all ages to live fuller, healthier lives. Our work continues. This work has never been popular or well funded or easy. Yet we still move forward!

#LGBTQ+ physicians & trainees are not doing well. Higher rates of burnout, anxiety, and depression among #LGBTQ+ physicians in academic medical centers. We need to identify root causes and intervene to save the healthcare workforce. @bostonu.bsky.social jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

I’m going to say something historians rarely say. We haven’t been here before. We haven’t had a near-authoritarian takeover of our government. Admittedly, we don’t know what comes next. There’s a wide array of options. But know that in the US, this is new ground. And none of this is normal.

It's interesting that TikTok is the ONLY social platform where news influencers don't skew overwhelmingly conservative, and TikTok has the highest number of LGBTQ news influencers, and it's the only app getting banned www.usermag.co/p/the-majori...

When I first started on the other app, I was in my 30s, working at the University of Chicago as a career coach and serving on candidate Obama's #LGBT committee. I can't believe how time flies. If we are just meeting, here's some work I'm proud of:
