seems like a good time to point out that conversion 'therapy' is not backed by science, doesn't work, and causes incredible harm. also a worthwhile time to say that, whether you experienced conversion 'therapy' from my biological father or anyone else, you did nothing to deserve that.

AAAA

Solidarity to my public health colleagues I've marched beside in the streets. Let us hold our field accountable.

I was told the point I was making was off topic or secondary, and I will accept that critique if it is true. The publication of this issue, however, seems to be a sign that an editorial acknowledging Palestine by name would never have been accepted in the first place.

On far less important terms, I had an editorial sent through the R&R process and then rejected. A set of editorials from that call has been published in this month's issue. I named Palestine. I named Sudan and Congo and other countries we in the West have and continue to exploit.

Public health colleagues, we are better than this. Please show me that we are better than this.

The disappointment extends to myself, as well. I know that there have been movements within the American Public Health Association membership to call out the genocide, and I know that I have not engaged with that movement.

This is the primary public health publication in the States. This can't be the pinnacle of where we are as a field.

To then name the occupation and push a narrative of cooperation in the same sentence is atrocious. Cooperation is needed. Individuals have cooperated to make magnificent things. The US-funded occupation's genocide of Palestine is not cooperation to improve public health.

Again, the language used is Gaza. Not Palestine. We're seeing the "environmental destruction of Gaza." By whom? We know. The International Court of Justice has made that clear.

Text reads: Latest AJPH Issue. July 2025. The Environmental, Health, and Humanitarian Crises in Gaza. The July issue of AJPH features a special section on conflict and the environment presented through the lens of the current crisis in Gaza. Selected articles cover the environmental destruction of Gaza, Israel and Gaza's past cooperation in public health, and opportunities for action. Other articles in this issue address quality scientific publication, detection of measles in Texas wastewater, firearm injury hospitalizations, HIV criminalization in the Black LGBTQIA+ community, and more. There is an image of the front cover of the current issue.

This is the language they're using.

I am continuously disappointed in public health as a field. The American Journal of Public Health just put out an issue about "Gaza." That's all they'll call it. They repeatedly name the occupation. They refer to the people in Gaza as "Palestinian." But they won't acknowledge Palestine.

Friends, I need your help. Our universities are continuing to buy into genocide and silencing assent, but I think there's more we can do. Public Health people - what is your school or college doing? Do you have students organizing?

Be clear that this administration
and its corporate accessories are not simply trying to eliminate DEI programming. They are, in fact, trying to eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion in life altogether.

Please stay connected to your feelings right now because when we survive this, the next round of people will need to know how to survive their own version of it.

Note that I might be shifting the class in reaction just to cover how laws change around LGBTQ+ health and healthcare. This is an extremely turbulent time to be trying to cover existing legislation, and I will try my best to give you context of previous laws and keep up to date with changes.

We keep each other safe. Please know that I am here to grieve and fight alongside you. If you would like to do so, please share things that bring you comfort below. This class is an open space for all of us.
