Almost 4 years into a 6-12 month life expectancy, @ChrisSnowCGY still works full time as an Assistant General Manager of the Calgary Flames because #TofersenWorks.

This month the @US_FDA will decide whether or not to #ApproveTofersen. We plead with them to do the right thing.

Any trans people have nice little stories of gender affirmation or just being a good ally from cis people?

One of my faves is when we had a work retreat with my office, and the plan was to have a house for the boys and a house for the girls.

What would happen if we saw school related distress as feedback on the system? As a psychologist, I meet many children who are distressed by school. Usually I’m being asked to change that. Can I make them less anxious? Can I make them attend without protest? 1/

Shout out to all my cis followers because following trans people is the only way you’re actually gonna hear about what’s happening to trans people cause the media sure as shit won’t tell you the truth
