A slightly older article... but wow... as a queer person who's been recently considering going into medicine, I'm glad things aren't as bad as they were in the 1970s.

lil:

I'm glad I put you in my feed and was able to see this astounding article. The possibility of someone changing their diagnosis because they see a lesbian novel on the bed next to the patient, or not admitting the top candidate to medical school because he seems effeminate -- these examples happen quickly and quietly and unless someone speaks up, as the author of this article did, no one will hear about it.

I imagine these things are still going on in many places.
