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.

I just said to a friend that if Musk were a Black man dragging a bunch of Black teenage hackers into all of these federal agencies, the laws would suddenly become crystal clear. No one would be saying "Well maybe he should have access to Ft. Knox and the IRS"

We had many fatal plane crashes in decades past when hiring practices favored white men. This DC accident is the 1st fatal U.S. commercial air crash in 16 years. That hardly suggests fairness in hiring is a problem. Quite the opposite. Trump is using a tragedy to push his racist, sexist message.

All I can really say at this point is if everyone isn't watching how trans people have lost basic rights and protections on a scale that hasn't been seen in decades in the span of 72 hours and realizing that even if you aren't trans there's nothing stopping it from happening to you, you're a fool
