Loren Cameron, who brought visibility to transgender men when there was very little to be found, died several months ago at 63. Here's a little about his life, death (cw: suicide) & the importance of his work: a 🧵

IM GONNA BE A BLACK GAY FEMALE OBGYN DOCTAH 🙌🏾 Everything I've worked for over the past 12 years and more. All the people telling me I couldn't do it with a 2.55 GPA or a barely passing Step 1 score. All the no's. This is a surreal feeling. I did it 🥹

When are we going to have a meaningful conversation about reducing the toxicity of medical duty hours? Will folks be on board with trading a reduction in hours/week for a longer time in training? What needs to change so we can pay trainees more? What say you #MedTwitter?

Hey hey folks!!!!! Great news!!! The Cribsiders recently reached 1 million downloads. We could not have done this without our AMAZING team of producers, gracious guests and of course our wonderful listeners who have helped us create this amazing community.

Cheering for the trans people who won their elections! Many of them are firsts and/or onlies. Speaking from too much experience, it can be really challenging on so many levels to the first/only trans person in a space. We must meaningfully support them after election day too!

Huge shout out to @drfolamay for leading this resident endoscopy workshop at #ACG2022! This was a major highlight. First time with my hands on a scope but won’t be the last 👠💪🏽🥼

It’s match season & #NationalComingOutDay so here’s a #GayMedTwitter reminder that you don’t owe anyone your story, you can be as out or not as you need to be in the process, you deserve to be valued for your authentic self wherever you train, & your “elders” are here for you.

Reflecting on #NationalComingOutDay, I never had a coming out moment but rather it was a gradual letting go of who i thought i needed to be and discovering and embracing who i wanted to be. it’s been a beautiful journey filled with moments of introspection and authenticity

Taking a break from the fab neo content at AAP NCE to learn about advocating for queer youth. Obviously there are lots of allies here too but it is a unique feeling when you walk into a queer affirming space full of your people. I wish I had this as a trainee #LGBTQinMedicine

Thinking of Jing Mai today and all those suffering at the hands of a Violent, Unjust, and Exploitative medical residency training. When will medicine face the ugly truth that this system is not broken but actually founded on the dehumanization of its workers and patients? Enough.
