Well, it's finally up. Thanks @sarahbraner.bsky.social @cenmag.bsky.social for profiling me and my journey from @cmu.edu to @ucddublin.bsky.social. It's been a hell of a ride. I'm glad I'm here safe, at least.

Quick question for the #TransInSTEM community. I'm talking to a colleague about organizing a network specifically to connect trans folks working in STEM (grad students, postdocs, faculty, and other professional researchers in the public & private sector) for solidarity and mutual support.

Yesterday was my 1 year anniversary of my top surgery!

This whole year I've been a happier, healthier, more "me" me because of it!

I had fought in 3 states, over 8 years to make it happen. I am still elated every day when I wake up from the happiness it brings :).

Scientists face many pressures, plenty of which are about identity. For transgender scientists, that pressure can loom particularly large. For a piece in @natmethods.nature.com, Vivien Marx interviewed scientists who identify as transgender and spoke to allies.

I never expected to see science cuts due to past trans inclusion in other parts of a university.

How quickly will science institutions abandon trans folks?

So very fast, just like they're already tripping over themselves to sacrifice so many others.

#TransInSTEM
Screenshot: The Trump administration also suspended $175 million in federal funding to the University of Pennsylvania last month, according to a statement from Penn President Larry Jameson. This suspension was apparently motivated by the institution's policies on transgender athletes and the participation of a transgender athlete on the women's swimming team in 2022. The university contends it followed National Collegiate Athletic Association and Title IX sex-based discrimination rules as they were written at the time.

If you're looking for some trans (umbrella term) STEM people to lift up and support, you can check out my starter pack.
go.bsky.app/2oTAUBo

Some biologists, some other fields.

Lifting up more people helps everyone.

Biologists need to stand up against the increased transphobia coming.

Also, I'd love to see more collaboration from within the trans community as well.

We need more trans people to have a voice and be lifted up! The more the better!
