@ledgemd I focused heavily on the impact of my transition journey in influencing my career goals of providing compassionate and affirming mental healthcare to LGBTQ+ youth in my ERAS PS. I was careful to stay apolitical, but I'm worried that the increasingly volatile powderkeg that the very existence of trans/GNC folks presents is serving to deepen the perceived controversiality of caring for this population.

@ledgemd I'm trying not to be cynical. I'm trying to believe that the field of medicine is, if not problematically outwardly "moderate", inherently founded on the ideal of equity and equality, and that it would not choose to quietly ignore the plight of our small minority (trans/GNC) in order to maintain some arguable notion of neutrality and avoid offending the larger proportion of society that views taking a stance on trans rights to be a controversial liability.

@Seeyouinhaldol What I discovered is that there are places which will support me and trans healthcare wholeheartedly, some that will attempt to, and some that won't even bother. The trick is find those places. I will say even in more conservative places, if you have the advocates that can be even more important than the surroundings.
