Med Twitter/X, request for help: A wonderful military intern is being separated before even starting their intern year due to being trans. If you have contacts ideally in the DC-MD-VA area for Internal Medicine programs please post below and I'll send you their e-mail.

I shouldn’t have to be considering fleeing the U.S., as a soon to be Army veteran, from the land of the Free. I guess Freedom only applies to a special chosen few.

I am now actually banned. According to the policy which came out yesterday, I will be forcibly separated despite 11 years of service, 7 years of serving as a Pediatrician and doctor to Soliders.
