This post is getting some attention from a few TERFs, but it’s a great reminder of how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come. And that as an FM doc, I’m proud to do OB and repro health for everyone, including trans and nonbinary people 😊

So proud of our Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, & ally community UC San Francisco !!

As healthcare students, residents, staff, & faculty we gathered to mourn, educate, & implore all in healthcare to stand for *health*, against violence, genocide, & ethnic cleansing, & call for Ceasefire now!

I am one of very few Jewish students at Balboa High School. I’m sure many of you have seen the viral videos of a pro-Palestine walkout at my school. One in particular has been viewed nearly 17 million times. 1/11

Israel just bombed the Baptist Hospital killing 500 Palestinians (doctors, children, patients) just like that.

President Biden this is what happens when you refuse to facilitate a ceasefire & help de-escalate.

Your war and destruction only approach has opened my eyes and many…

A practice I enjoy doing w/ my team when rounding is “Bias breaks” especially w/ patient cases who r particularly susceptible to healthcare system bias- Substance Use disorder, Overweight, Psychiatric, Sickle Cell, Chronic pain, etc.

We Pause, Critically Interrogate, & Advocate.

This quote, from the The New York Times review of the OPPENHEIMER film: 'He served as director of a clandestine weapons lab built in a near-desolate stretch of Los Alamos, in New Mexico'...

It was inhabited by Hispanos. They were given less than 24 hr to leave. Their farms bulldozed. 1

This is my dear friend, Nakita.

Nakita and I were medical school classmates and both interns in New York City. Nakita tragically took her own life on May 26.

She is such a beautiful soul. She was so fun to be around. She was intelligent, charismatic, and confident. (1/x)

Our study found that encampment clearance/sweeps could increase deaths among people experiencing homelessness by 25% by 2028. 'Sweeping' people is not a solution to , but is rather a form of (costly) state-sponsored violence.

I started low dose T two months ago. It’s been weird and wonderful, and I also feel so privileged. Everyone should have access to gender affirming meds and freedom to explore their gender. Plus this velvet suit brought me gender euphoria. 😊🏳️‍⚧️
