A Brief History of Men Today Are Too Feminine and Women Too Masculine 🧵

US context, but likely to have valuable learning for the UK (See eg eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/3353… for more on the need to end unnecessary and harmful surgery on intersex babies in the UK)

Today Faculty of Public Health has published the review Richard J Pinder and I undertook into differential attainment in recruitment into specialty training in #publichealth fph.org.uk/media/3634/edi… 1/8

Vital piece of work on the varying success rates to the Public Health Specialty Training Programme depending on who you are... I've experienced first hand the barriers of this programme, now it's time to sort it out. How can we serve our communities when we don't represent them?

Very cool to see the range of volunteer support at Moorfields, especially the hand-holding initiative (see waeh.org/news/moorfield…) that makes such a difference to patient experience

As a care leaver from a deprived background, working in a profession that explicitly tackles inequities in our society it is beyond important that we challenge our own inequities within the workforce. Kazim Beebeejaun and I responded to some crucial work undertaken by Fran Bury...

Brilliant piece by Kazim Beebeejaun and Kerry Littleford: "To tackle health inequalities meaningfully and build long term trust with deprived communities in the UK, we must first confront inequities and biases in our own profession."

Global public health organisations have an obligation to speak up in the face of health injustices AND offer the global community measurable commitments toward antiracism reform. Isn't it time we hold them accountable to these standards? gh.bmj.com/content/8/3/e0…
