We knew that they would do this, and it still hurts.
Conversion therapy will be allowed in Kentucky and transgender Kentuckians will no longer have gender-affirming health care covered by Medicaid after lawmakers overrode Beshear’s veto of HB 495 Thursday afternoon.

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

Sometimes being able to offer a moment of compassionate human connection and grace, and sometimes even a hug, while working in HLOC ED treatment is the greatest privilege and honor ❤️ I try to collect these moments in my brain for future moments when the inevitable burnout or disillusionment sets in🔥
