Grad School Straddlers 11 years, 7 months ago
hey all,
I’m a first year in a biology PhD program and I’m currently finishing up my lab rotations: I have to choose which lab I’m going to do my thesis work in soon. The thing is, I want somewhere where I’ll be comfortable being out but those sorts of discussions never came up. The closest thing I’ve heard to discussion of queer people was one…[Read more]

Genderstraddlers 11 years, 7 months agoThis is a not-entirely-related post, but is there anyone here who lives in/has lived in/knows someone who lives/has lived in Indianapolis? I really want to write a queer city guide for Indy, but not sure I can do it by myself. I’d really love to collaborate if you think you can help out. Thank you!!!!

Genderstraddlers 11 years, 7 months agoHey Straddlers! Long time no post. This is an old video so I’m aware some of you may have seen it before but I just recently stumbled across it and thought I’d share. In it, Tobi Hill-Meyer talks about her experiences as a butch trans woman and discusses issues of transmisogyny and femmephobia.

So I’m getting my MA in American Studies (aka autostraddle + colorlines + racialicious + sepiamutiny) and it is Spring Break as of Friday. Im headed to LA and wondered if any of yall know cool queer spots to hang out. I lived in SoCal 3 years ago but Im sure a lot has changed. Tips? Hot spots? Lemme at em!

Any fellow queerios slogging through medical school like me? (I’m in the middle of my 2nd year) if so message me!
-
I’m finishing up my first year of optometry school.
-
That’s cool; how many years do you have to go? Do you just do a lot of eye exams and neuro?
-
Three more after this year. We also do a ton of optics, a lot of neuro and ocular anatomy, and a little general anatomy. And then a lot of learning how to actually do an eye exam.
How about you? Med school going well? Any specialty picked out yet?
-
minimum of 5 years after this (oy). I LOVE NEURO TO THE MAX. by far my favorite subject. we don’t choose our specialties until after clinical rotations (1 year from now)…but leaning towards neuro, obygyn, or internal med.

Hey !
So, I’m an MD between residencies. First one was in Family Practice and the next one in 2013 will be Preventive Medicine. And because I’m a glutton for grad school punishment, it has an MPH embedded in it….*sigh*
Special shout out to all you med students and resident colleagues, PM and say hello!

hey :) i’m in med school–almost finished with my third year, thank GOD.
-
Cool! Where do you go to school? I can’t wait to be done with my second year and actually start clinicals. How’s it going so far?
-
I go to school on the east coast (PM me if you want more specifics. I’m happy to give them, just not on a public forum.) And so far, so good. The first two years are a pain, so once you’re finished with them (and Step 1), then you’re golden. Third year’s been really great, actually. It’s nice to actually see patients. Of course, I still have…[Read more]

congrats! -from a resident in the mid-south, trust me it’s all golden after third year.
-
thank you! i’m really excited for residency and i can’t even be deterred by the fact that i’ll need to get through my intern year first :D mind if i ask what field you chose? i’ve decided on pediatrics, myself.
-
Emergency Medicine.
You’ll get through intern year, just like you got through first year: one day at a time.

Genderstraddlers 11 years, 8 months agoHello everyone! I’m new to Auto. This group appears to a perfect fit for me.
-
Yay! I’m glad you think so. It’s been a little quiet ’round these parts of late- if I ever get out from under this pile of uni work I might actually get around to posting something again. You should of course feel free to post about anything gender-related that piques your interest :)
Also, welcome to Autostraddle!

I haven’t really had to deal with this, as I’m in a counseling masters program. Being okay with gay is kind of a requirement of being a professional counselor. So all my professors and advisers have been non-judgey and supportive.
Good luck in your search!
Do you know any 2nd or 3rd years that are more familiar with the various professors who could at least let you know if any of them are homophobes? It’s generally been my experience that once someone has been to school long enough to get a doctorate, they are generally pretty open-minded, but obviously not 100% of the time. I don’t know if that…[Read more]
I’m a second year in a biology PhD. My advisor is pretty open-minded, as is the faculty in general – another prof in biology is openly gay – so it was not really an issue for me. At my university, graduate students go directly to work with their advisor of choice, and given that my advisor didn’t bat an eye to my alternative hairstyle and…[Read more]
thanks for your advice all! (I had an exam this week and between that/lab/teaching i’ve been virtually cut off from the internet, otherwise I would’ve said thanks earlier :P) what complicates things for me a little bit is that all the rotations I’ve done are with very, very new professors, as in I’m pretty sure all of them have been here for less…[Read more]
Hey. I don’t know if you picked already, but you need to casually drop your gayness in convo or something. When I was rotating my gf dumped me and I was a little bit teary in my advisor’s office, she noticed, I told her why.
Now I’m in her lab and everybody knows I’m the gayest gay that ever gayed. So just…be open. It helps.
