As a transgender person with a family history of Alzheimer's, it's a slap in the face to be told our lab's research on brain health and caregiving is "unscientific" and does "nothing to enhance the health of many Americans" -- just because it includes transgender people. But we won’t be silenced.

And then there were none…
My advisor just lost their last remaining federal research grant. All were cancelled for being inclusive of #trans and #nonbinary people. People like us.
These grants supported critical research into #LGBTQIA aging, dementia, and caregiving—and funded a staff of 7.

All of my federal funding has now been stripped away from me. I went from a nearly $5 million federally supported portfolio to nothing.
