By Anonymous MD
I am a physician, a husband, and a father. I am a religious man; my faith is at the very center of my life. I am politically conservative and subscribe to Objectivist philosophy, which focuses on pursuing solutions that are logical and evidence-based. I believe in small government, especially in medicine. As a physician, I find the main reason for the increased cost of care and the lack of access to it to be third-party interference, either from insurance companies or the government. The three most important things in my life are my God, my family, and my country. I would die for any of these, and I don't say that lightly.
I was also identified as female at birth and was raised as a girl. I completed a gender transition as a young adult, going through male puberty and having gender confirmation surgery to allow me to live as the man I always was.
