Seeing a lot of confusion about the budget's provisions on trans care--it would strip Medicaid funds for trans care (which is awful enough) but it would NOT prohibit private insurers from providing coverage for trans care. It actually does something far more narrow and wonkier

woooo it's live!

very excited to share this piece in Cell, where we lay out how transphobia is deeply intertwined with other forms of oppression, how it shapes the way we frame research, and what other scientists + institutions can do to support trans scientists:
