When the government comes for your trans kid
Even before I turned 16, I knew I liked girls. I also knew I liked boys. I didn’t understand it. Why was I drawn to women? During that period of my life (between 11 and 16 years of age), I was also in a boarding school. An all-girl boarding school, for that matter. It wasRead more …When the government comes for your trans kid originally appeared inKevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

By Emily Reynolds
There are many fields in which women are underrepresented: in certain areas of education and academia, in politics, and in senior leadership roles. Efforts have been made across sectors to improve this representation, as we’ve particularly covered in the case of STEM.
