Are you a trans woman upset with the shortcomings presented by current surgeries? A trans man upset with how archaic phalloplasties are compared to surgeries for cis men? Do you have an interest in biology or medicine? You should pursue an MD/PhD integrated degree and become a physician scientist, it’s tuition free and you’ll receive a stipend for all 8 years. Be the change you want to see, help make synthetic organ transplants possible, and invent better surgery methods. Nobody will save us but ourselves

    I mean like yeah I get it but I don’t think it’s fair that we have to be some kind of class of savants when we’re already fucked up and mentally ill across the board from the trauma of being a trans just because we ARE trannies. That’s not even including how we get the shaft in academia. Why can’t we just be normal? Why do we have to make cutting edge worldwide medical breakthroughs just to live? I assume this is already excluding the many of us who will never be able to afford this shit or anyone not blessed enough to be a firstie.

      True, and it is def a career restricted to those who live in a country with a strong research infrastructure. In a fairer world where cis ppl cared life would be much better, but they don’t.
