Any IM programs with unfilled spots interested in taking a military trans resident about to lose their job?

[Ben Hamilton, DO @drkidneybeans]

#MedTwitter I'm once again asking for the best IM residency programs for transgender docs getting banned from the military.

@fawfulfan This is not true. All embryos start off as indeterminate, and therefore non-binary. People really need to stop with the myth that everyone starts off as female.

Anyone have recommendations for good civilian IM residencies for a trans person who may be displaced by another trans ban?

@bbsangel9162013 Your account speaks for itself with your anti-vax stance. I don’t have a good reason to believe you understand anything medical.

[Ben Hamilton, DO @drkidneybeans]

You cannot simultaneously say that "distress is not a reason for body modification" and also support breast reduction, low T clinics, hair transplants, etc. If you use this argument only against trans people, that's bigotry, not medicine.

@Karen21001230 1 look at my comments section debunks this point. There are absolutely people saying this. I made this post after a lengthy discussion where someone argued that gender affirming body modification even for consenting adults is wrong.

People like this are the ones shouting "your body my choice"

You comment as if this were an own, however there are many babies whose heads don't pass through women's pelvises. If pelvis size defined gender, you arbitrarily decide that women are no longer women.

Did you know that no baby’s head has ever passed through a man’s pelvis, ever?

[Ben Hamilton, DO @drkidneybeans]

@ThinkingAtheist yes

Your vote is critical today to prevent this antivax dipshit from having power over our health institutions.

I cannot put my grief into words. But… #Pediatrics does not back down. We will continue to work days and nights and holidays and weekends to do the right thing for children and families. We won’t be silenced. We won’t be bullied.

We are children’s health experts and our life’s work is protecting our most vulnerable.

Game on.

Vaccines are good.

Anti-depressants are good.

Modern medicine is good.

Fluoride in water is safe and protects teeth.

Excluding women from womanhood doesn't prove the point you think it does.
