As a med student @PennMedicine, I cannot overemphasize how much this man does NOT represent our school, our educators, our students, and our approach to medicine! There's so much here that not only contradicts morality & common sense, but also evidence base... 1/5
As both a member of and an advocate for the health of the #LGBTQ community, I'll focus on the dig at respecting patients' identity and pronouns, and let others handle the rest 2/5
Based on the 2015 Transgender Survey ustranssurvey.org, nearly 1/4 respondents did not seek care due to fear of mistreatment from their healthcare provider. And these aren't unfounded fears, as 1/3 of respondents reported identity-related negative experiences 3/5
No amount medical knowledge can help a patient who can't access care because it's unaffordable or inaccessible, or a patient who won't seek care because of negative experiences with providers. 4/5
....and all this is just criticism based on the TITLE of this article. /5
