I’m joining the march to make my voice heard. The past election cycle, and the results thereof, shook me to my core. I want Trump to know that my rights, as a transmale, chronically ill, transient individual, and indeed the rights of all minorities that make up our nation, are basic human rights. I want…

I stand with the Women’s March because I see the weight and inequalities placed on women’s shoulders time and time again. We are tied up in preconceived identities and berated when we want to take charge of our bodies and identities, whether in fighting sexual assault, not looking a certain way, equal pay for equal…

I’m 65, and recuperating from my 2nd knee replacement surgery on December 6, 2016. I had my right knee replacement surgery on January 7, 2016 and will have some follow-up surgery on that knee in a few months.

With a pre-existing condition of migraines compounded by bilateral neuropathy, I had no affordable options. Without the ACA I will not be able to…

A new medical treatment based on the work of Fermi and others excited pediatricians and general practitioners: nuclear radiation which they applied to infants’ necks.   They called it “low dose” radiation — but low compared to what– atomic…

Due to chronic pain and fatigue, I’ve made the difficult decision to not physically participate in the Women’s March on Washington, but my heart is with everyone who will be marching to defend the rights of all women (regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, class, age, disability or sexual orientation).  We ALL can do it!
