Once again, my annual retweet before II release day. Don’t be discouraged by what the morning initially brings. It’s going to be a long day full of joy, sadness, and surprises. At the end of the day, just remember that you’re going to be an amazing doctor! #UroMatch #UroRes
On the eve of uro II notifications, I want to wish good luck to all the applicants. I also want to share this picture. These were the first six emails sent to me. 1 II and 5 waitlists, followed by many more waitlists/rejections. Can you guess where I ended up? #UroMatch #UroRes

Women with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) have no advantage because their body is not sensitive to androgens. An average XX female has actually quite a bit of testosterone & would have a performance advantage over an XY female with complete AIS. hope that helps
Replying to @krassenstein
It is nuanced but I believe it has a right answer. For safety someone with AIS, which gives you XY chromosomes, denser bones, and more muscle it’s a problem. It’s not that deep past that. If she has complete AIS she may even have male parts still inside her. It’s just safety. It’s sad sure, to have any human without full ability to participate. But it’s real.

Pupdate: they all used to fit in this crate 8 days ago. I can no longer carry more than two at a time. They’re picking up potty training and basic commands at only 7 weeks 🥰

The decision made by the Arizona Supreme Court today is unconscionable and an affront to freedom.
