This Trans Day of Visibility, remember: Trans people exist – and have for thousands of years. Trans people deserve to live as who we are and be treated with dignity and respect.

Family participation in QI & advisory councils largely depends on the care they receive in the #NICU.

@DrDreaO Yasss! Congratulations 🙌🏾

Where all the #Peds residents & #Neo fellows new to LA? I’m your village now & it’s gumbo season 🥣 C’mon over!

@the_tweedy love this for you! Prune juice and short walks will be your best friend in the beginning

I've got a surgery date for my misterectomy! Any trans guys (or other folks) have advice re: yeeting the ol' duderus?

Hi #MedTwitter! My name is Andrea Owusu-Sekyere and I am applying to Pediatrics for #Match2023! I am excited to connect with mentors, programs and future colleagues. All the best everyone! #PedsMatch2023 #Match2023 #NextGenPeds #FuturePedsRes #Tweetiatrician #IMG

Happy birthday to me!!!! The 52nd chapter of the book of DocMoSho promises to be the best yet! Thanks to all my patients, family, friends and loves for making me feel so special! #birthdayboy

@jbullockruns I’m right with you. It’s only been a few weeks but this is one of the hardest transitions.

@docmosho Just started fellowship this week!

.@DocTNS 👋🏾 keep shining.

“The United States is facing this Black maternal health crisis which will be further exacerbated in areas where abortion care and abortion access is going to be banned.” @PhDiva0618 to the @BostonGlobe on #RoeVsWade #BlackMaternalHealth bostonglobe.com/2022/06/17/met…

Louisiana had 3 abortion clinics: New Orleans, Shreveport, & Baton Rouge They are all being forced to close now

@sauls_light Facts!

🤣🥵🤣🥵🤣

@sauls_light Happy birthday Saul. Sending you all the love ❤️

Today is Saul’s birthday. If he were alive, he’d be 8 years old. I can imagine.

Pediatricians are being told (warned) to stay in our own lane and not weigh in on the toll of gun violence on children. If preventable death isn’t “our lane,” I’d like to know what is. Child advocacy is as integral as otitis treatment to the practice of pediatrics.
