Breast cancer screening is a part of #TransHealth. Transgender and gender-diverse people are less likely to be screened, are diagnosed at later stages, and can face worse outcomes for #BreastCancer

[Women's College Hospital @WCHospital]

If you are 40 years+ and have breast/chest tissue, you may be at risk for breast cancer, whether you're trans, nonbinary or Two-spirit. Visit WCH’s breast imaging centre and complete a self-referral for a mammogram: https://t.co/GoqhRrXtF2 #2SLGBTQIHealth

This oversimplification of a complex problem is clickbait at its best.

The healthcare staffing crisis is not physician driven. Just like ICU beds are not only furniture, surgeries need a LOT more than surgeons.

Let's value our nurses

Study found mistreatment is pervasive and impacts well-being among residents identifying as LGBTQ+ in general surgery residents https://t.co/cn6JmyGg8W @CarySchlick @YueyungHu
