Neuroscientist, PhD Candidate & Science Communicator @KadeHuckstep wrote an essay for #TransDayOfVisibility that is well worth the read. 🏳️⚧️
Because supporting and elevating trans & gender diverse voices goes well beyond a single day.

Had a blast judging the @UniMelb 3MT competition. It was a unanimous decision and we couldn't be more proud to have @KadeHuckstep representing us. And how perfect is #KellyTheDog
Cis allies: If you truly consider yourself an ally to the trans community, I hope that you can find some time+energy to educate yourself on the lies being currently spread, the evidence to counter it, and what you can do to help. I've done the 1st step for you by collating it☺️
So… I accidentally poured my entire soul into making this lengthy YouTube video (https://t.co/Noa7W7pl8W) fact-checking the recent lie-filled anti- #trans Channel 7 doco. Whoops. But here we are.
Trans folk: I've tried not to show the most painful parts, and offer a counter to everything I do show, but engaging with this content at all can fucking sting. So please… respect your needs here and proceed with caution.
Beyond proud of my friend and former @UniMelbscicomm student @KadeHuckstep who today won the Grand Final of the @UniMelb#3MT.
Kade, your brilliant, sensitive and thoughtful communication skills blow me away every time I hear your speak. Enormous congratulations 🙌 🙌
Finally the @UniMelb 3MT Winner for 2023, @TheFlorey @UniMelbMDHS PhD Candidate @KadeHuckstep. Kade's informative and deeply sensitive presentation about animal models in PTSD and Alcohol use disorder had us waiting on your every word. Well won, and all the best at @3MT_official!
Congrats to our superstar PhD student @KadeHuckstep@TheFlorey for winning the @UniMelb 3 minute thesis talking about their work on co-morbid PTSD and AUD 🎉🥳🎉
