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

      If you want to do it and think your capable you should really consider it, ik people who worked full time during their degrees (albeit in the us) and they all said it was incredibly difficult and required strict time management, but most didn’t regret it
