It feels like I’m the rope in tug-of-war between my current career and my ambitions to become a physician.
There’s the long term decision and the current reality of trying to passably perform in both work and my organic chemistry class.
Is increasing trans representation in healthcare really a worthwhile personal pursuit with climate calamity on the horizon? Would it be better to channel my energy into mutual aid, community organizing, and foster care?
I wish I had an academic mentor (or any mentor) to talk to about it. Yeah, I’m a real adult now and therapy is a thing but 🤷♂️
