jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… In my new JAMA article, Dr. Samuel Mann and I break down the public health and ethical crisis unfolding as U.S. lawmakers move to strip Medicaid funding for gender-affirming care. This care is lifesaving. These rollbacks are deadly.

New pub!

New pub in @JAMAHealthForum. The paper examines how bans on gender-affirming care increase risks of injection-related illnesses like hepatitis C and HIV among trans individuals. It advocates for harm reduction strategies to mitigate these health threats. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-…

I worked here as a postdoc and it was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. The faculty are truly top tier -- they are extremely kind, collaborative, productive, accessible, and dedicated to mentorship. Also, their trainees go on to get great jobs :)

Today I was sworn in as a public member of the Washington DC Board of Medicine. The Mayor’s Office told me they believe I am the first nonbinary person in United States history to sit on a board of medicine.

PRESS RELEASE from the American Sociological Association for our recently published resource, "Public Policy and the Well-Being of Transgender and Gender Diverse Youth in the U.S.: A Sociological Guide for the Public." asanet.org/public-policy-…

@LGBTQPolLabVU Very cool!!

Thank you to @HHS_ASH Admiral Rachel Levine for joining us on campus for an inspiring and informative talk

We are very grateful to the ASA, the Committee on the Status of LGBTQ People in Sociology, and the experts who provided us insight and feedback.

Although we did not specifically write this resource for academics, we hope that they, including sociologists, will find it useful and engage with it. For instance, we believe it can be a useful resource for sociology students.
