At recent conf (#LGBTQHealthConf) I got asked many times how the puppy is. So a brief update: Birdie is still ridiculously cute but also newly stubborn. Below she is refusing to move bc a family won’t pay attention to her. Cats are adjusting but require food in the sunroom.
Fantastic presentation by my postdoc Dr. Taylor Reid. I can take no credit for- data was from her dissertation and she was already a great presenter before she joined my lab! @SoqirS #LGBTQHealthConf
Not at all staged photos of two more members of my lab presenting their posters. @SoqirS #LGBTQHealthConf
@AARP panel at #lgbtqhealthconf “I have to perform for my healthcare providers” to avoid discrimination due to being LGBTQ+.”

Physical activity among trans youths: May be impacted by body image concerns. #LGBTQHealthConf
Mx. Jack Andrzejewski from CDC: Trans youth at higher risk of violent victimization, subst use, suicidality => poor health outcomes. #LGBTQHealthConf

Is structural stigma associated with help seeking among sexual and gender minority youth? @robertwscoulter and others are authors. #LGBTQHealthConf
Food insecurity associated with every negative sexual risk - even when adjusting for poverty (poverty in and of itself NOT related). Food insecurity assoc with 2 times higher risk for exchange sex. #LGBTQHealthConf
Even MSM who make over 75k a year report food insecurity. Would be interesting to know if they get paid monthly or bi-weekly (my guess, the former). #LGBTQHealthConf
"Condomless anal intercourse" I thought she said "cuddleless anal intercourse" - which made me really sad for the men in the sample! #LGBTQHealthConf

Geeking out over what my powerpoint (replete with subversive subliminal messages) looks like in the room! So excited/nervous for tomorrow! #LGBTQHealthConf
On community engagement: "You go to a community meeting and they tell you all the ways you are terrible. That has happened to me--and it's good! If it hasn't happened to you--you aren't getting the truth." @ToniaPoteat #LGBTQHealthConf
Important thing to consider for researchers: Asking personal questions on surveys in public places (or other places that aren't 100% private) may lead to discomfort and either skipping items or not being 100% honest. @ToniaPoteat #LGBTQHealthConf
"Measurement of attribution of which identity led to discrimination or stigma is difficult." I think research would suggest it isn't the objective reason but the perceived reason that has actual effects on wellbeing. @ToniaPoteat #LGBTQHealthConf
