Feeling all the feels on my last day as a postdoc.

I am truly 🌈so lucky🌈 to have worked with and learned from the most supportive, brilliant, amazing scholars/mentors/humans at UMN. I will never forget this unique opportunity and the growing I have done in the last year!

Stigmatizing policies/attitudes targeting #trans people & #transrights profoundly impact mental health. In a new study led by @MaggiPrice, we find ⬆️ psychological distress & suicidality among #trans adults in more transphobic US states. @SMcketta @emily_mellen @RakhilinMarina 🏳️‍⚧️

So grateful for an amazing co-author team: Drs. Rebecca Puhl, @DrRyanJWatson, Marlene Schwartz, @LessardLeah, and @DrGaryFoster

As if Florida wasn’t going far enough with the bathroom ban, they just passed SB254, which bans gender affirming care for trans youth, allow noncustodial parents to get custody to detransition them, and severely curtails adult care.

I hurt for trans people in Florida.

Friends with a PhD, does anyone (other than students, if you have any) call you Dr.? #AcademicTwitter
