Keep adding to the list, right-wing legislatures. You're doing great.

 @46cd5609 sometimes I think about how terrifying it would be to be a trans fourth year rn. At the whim of the match. No clue where you'll end up practicing and whether it will be safe for you in a few years

 @46cd5609 The sad part is, I lived in Oklahoma for a few years, and I can't recommend the quality of healthcare out there.  Admittedly, part of this is that they have a state-level version of the DEA that makes the DEA look reasonable by comparison.

And part of it was one resident who actually began a sentence with "in my experience" and unfortunately I was not working in healthcare policy at that time because G_d help me if I hear another resident ever use that phrase.

 @46cd5609 incidentally, those are the same places I won’t teach in person. Fascinating. 🤷‍♀️
