Gender-affirming care is evidence-based and lifesaving, and I'm proud to work @BostonChildrens where my colleagues provide this care every day. I will continue caring for trans and non-binary kids in the ER, using their affirmed names and pronouns, and 🧵1/2

Gotta be the time our dog was having labored breathing and a huge swollen belly. Vet thought she may need emergency surgery until the X-ray showed she had gotten into a bag of food and eaten so much her stomach was pushing up on her lungs… $600 later we were happy and also 🤦🏼♀️ – at Boston, MA
Thankful for the brave kids that shared their stories, for @mrichtel and @nytimes for giving this crisis the attention it so desperately needs, and @BostonChildrens for helping me be a part of it. Now let’s get to work, our kids deserve better.

So proud to have been a part of this team, and especially grateful to @vlocarmen for seeing an issue and using the power of our platform as clinicians and researchers to advocate against it. Here’s hoping the 🇺🇸 and 🇺🇳 overturn these harmful and racist policies – at Boston, MA
In a new paper, HMS’ @vlocarmen, Timothy Erickson, @LashNolen, and @DocMcStewson describe how exportation of banned pesticides leads to disproportionately high rates of morbidity and mortality, most notably in Indigenous women and children (via @TheLancet) thelancet.com/journals/lanam…
Is anyone else’s phone timer automatically on 15 minutes at all times because the only thing they ever set a timer for are their rapid COVID tests? 🤔👃🦠🙅🏼♀️
(I’m fine, just testing as a precaution)
Other than the lollipop (I give out popsicles) this is 100% correct. Stickers, juice and snacks = currency. Kids 👶🏾👧🏼🧒🏻👶🏽 are absolutely better than adults. And the brutal honesty? Well, I could share some tales 🤣, but check this out as a start:

I could not more strongly oppose this unbelievable assault on kids and families in Texas. #transkids please know that there are many, many, many of us who support you and will fight for you. We love you exactly as you are 🏳️⚧️❤️🏳️🌈
When the nation’s pediatricians, internists, gynecologists, and psychiatrists ALL agree on something, maybe legislators should pay attention. #ProtectTransKids
