Despite the use of inappropriate terminology (an ongoing issue with @NPR stations who continue to refuse to use easily obtainable style guides @GLAAD), @wnyc, thank you for publishing my photograph and for bringing a physician onto your show who supports the health of transgender individuals, Dr. Jennifer Conti (@doctorjenn). Jennifer did use appropriate terminology, in her responses, as I would expect, as a professional who provides care 🙂 .
This story actually appeared in July, 2017, I just got notification of it today. I’m posting to recognize the medical profession’s stance on this issue:
Transgender individuals are serving their country with honor, and they should be allowed to continue doing so. https://t.co/nJ9jmxnKBz pic.twitter.com/VKnd0HxERB

To answer @wnyc’s question about what transgender people and those who love them think about this action (which has since been halted by the courts), you can see the rest of the photographs from this day here.
Of course they are all @CreativeCommons licensed, enjoy.
President Trump says trans service members make the military responsible for “tremendous medical costs.” Is that true? One on-gyn who works with trans veterans weighs in.Â
