I can’t go into detial, but I saw my first self-identified non-binary patient in the ED recently. After asking their pronouns and offering my own, it felt important to tell them I am also non-binary. I’ll never forget how their eyes widened with joy. Representation matters.

In 18 days I will be reducing my risk of breast cancer as a #BRCA positive individual while simultaneously affirming my gender as a #nonbinary #trans person by undergoing a prophylactic mastectomy. By sharing my story publicly I hope to reassure other high risk folks!
