THREAD: WOMEN WHO ARE PROUD TO SUPPORT TRANS RIGHTS

I asked women to contribute their pic to a collage of trans rights supporters. If you want to be included in collages, DM me, or reply to this thread with pic. Every time I get 100 more I will add to this thread...

100...

Thank you @claski! We love to see our work being put to good use.

What a wonderful panel of humans at the joint @SydUniSurgSoc and @levelmed #womeninsurgery evening. These surgeons paint a visible and accessible picture of working in a fulfilling career *and* enjoying your family - and even fitting in an episode of GoT now and then!

[USyd Surgical Soc @SydUniSurgSoc]

We teamed up with @levelmed for our Women in Surgery evening this past Wednesday! @drsydneychng @jho246 #WomenInMedicine #ILookLikeASurgeon

Sounds like a great opportunity for med students! @camwells3 @levelmed @SydUniSurgSoc @wim_unsw I volunteered at @SwanTrauma when I was a med student and learned so much. (And got a t-shirt!)

The recent news out of Japan is shocking, but far from the only example of gender discrimination in medicine. Thanks @vanbadham for highlighting our work at @levelmed on this issue #womeninstemm #genderequity #genderbias #ILookLikeASurgeon #equality

Pretty chuffed to see @levelmed 's research to make it into The Guardian today! Thanks @vanbadham for the excellent article - 💪🏾👩🏾‍⚕️🏩💫 https://t.co/iQoHbRccNF

RACS has set a target of raising the percentage of female surgical trainees to 40 per cent by 2021 and increasing to 40 per cent female representation on boards and committees by 2020. https://t.co/4s5UQGPMeM @csl888 @kerinfielding @PeckyDeSilva @SarahMcLain_ #WomenInSurgery

[Level Medicine @levelmed]

Level is proud of our very own @SarahMcLain_ for her front page article in @smh about the hidden curriculum deterring female medical graduates from becoming surgeons and her presentation at #RACS2018 #pressforprogress @RACSurgeons @csl888 @PeckyDeSilva https://t.co/4rwtbQR58H

[Dr Christine Lai FRACS FACS @csl888]

.@SarahMcLain_ there is a strong positive correlation with female interviewers on selection panels and intake of female trainees - this applies to diversity too #RACS18 #ASM18SYD

[Pecky De Silva @PeckyDeSilva]

Great talk by @SarahMcLain_ medical student @Sydney_Uni #RACS18 More women on selection panels showed a clear increase in selection of female trainees. Should be a clear reason to follow @RACSurgeons #diversity plan https://t.co/QChqPzQzqd

[Pecky De Silva @PeckyDeSilva]

Great talk on why women aren’t making it to leadership positions @kibbemr #RACS18 @RACSurgeons It is not a pipeline issue - women are leaking out of the pipeline or blocked in the pipe!!

[Dr Christine Lai FRACS FACS @csl888]

Please don’t ask a woman her age, her marital status and whether she has children! Support female colleagues and make women visible to students. Train out your unconscious biases @SarahMcLain_ #RACS18 @surgconference @yourAMSA #WomeninSurgery

[Payal Mukherjee @Payal_Aus]

Well done @SarahMcLain_ for a fantastic honours project. Very proud of your hard work @RACSurgeons raising awareness of female students perceptions of surgery and how we can #PressforProgress @PeckyDeSilva @RPA_IAS. More in today’s Sydney Morning Herald

Why gender equity matters-“When I spend time with male surgeons, I want to be a surgeon; when I spend time with female surgeons, I realize I CAN be a surgeon”-med student and future surgeon @SarahMcLain_ @RACSurgeons #RACS18 #WomenInSurgery
