I'm in shock that I've been accepted to the @LambdaLiterary Writer's Retreat for Emerging LGBTQ+ Voices! I'll get to learn from @1demerith, one of my all-time fav writers. I’d appreciate any support to help me get to Philly in July! https://t.co/SWXjoQG9OK
And thanks to the surgeons and researchers who took the time to talk to me @FRubinoMD , @drlschechter, @dralexeshazen, @DrHeavenstone, @JoshuaSafer, Dr. Fan Liang, Dr. Ellie Zara Ley and Dr. Gabriel Del Corral. I met so many in medicine who care so deeply.
In my new story for @statnews I dove into the medical reasoning for BMI-limits in top surgery, how they effect trans folks who are told to lose massive amounts of weight, and why many surgeons are getting rid of them.

@statnews Thanks to @therisenjester and @ChalaTheCowboy for being willing to share their harrowing stories of denial and to my editor @eemershon for such careful and thoughtful guidance through such a complex issue
@jmkliegman I also created this story for @embodiedWUNC that goes more in depth into the psychological repercussions of these limits —-> https://t.co/pBQl7UtAwo
What feels like ages ago and
yesterday, @HC_onley approached me for an interview on my experience as a fat transmasc person who was able to get top surgery.
This article they wrote is thought provoking, heartbreaking, and a sorely needed light shining on a very real problem.
