- I cannot overstate this… if you are afraid that your child is going to have a gender affirming surgery at school but you aren’t afraid they may be shot at school, there is no way we’re living in the same nation.Trump: Can you imagine you're a parent and your son leaves the house and you say, Jimmy, I love you so much.

00:00 - Kids dying in mass shootings was not what the founding fathers inended. And if it was… then fuck the founding fathers.
- In the last 3 days I’ve been called groomer, pedophile, baby-killer, sodomite, faggot, murderer… I’m just a young queer pediatrician who understands science, empathy, and patient autonomy. Sling all the mud you want, bc I’m not changing.
