Mental health therapy is political.
Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you and has an agenda of perpetuating a broken system.

What deeply saddens me about how trans young people are spoken about is watching their lives, which could be as ordinary or as extraordinary as they wish, being swallowed up having to defend their right to look in the mirror & see themselves.
All that energy that could instead go into just *living*
Garlic in my cooking and vanilla extract in my baking share one guiding principle: I add them with wild abandon, defying the recipe with a mix of audacity and playful disdain.

with awareness of my bias (they're my profs) Leswin Laubscher and Derek Hook- "Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology"
Lewis R. Gordon- "Black Existentialism and Decolonizing knowledge"
we survive together or not at all

Small acts of resistance.
Small acts of self-care.
Small acts of love.
Small steps in the right direction.
Small moments of connection.
We donβt talk enough about small things.

We can only understand organismic development in the context of an organism's typical development within its environment. Furthermore, cognitive development cannot be understood without physical and motor development.

Three people (representing a trans man, trans woman, and person wearing rainbow colors) are pushing back to keep it from falling. Behind it the second domino is labeled "Gay Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" and has a couple, one member of who is pulling the other from behind the domino and walking towards the first domino. The 3rd one "Women's Rights" and "Free Love", a woman is pointing and shouting to rally others behind the domino to come forwards, the 4th one " Free Speech" and "Democracy" and has people peering out from behind it as well as two people running forwards with a piece of lumber, the 5th one "Freedom of Religion" and "Modernity", and has a few people nervously peeking out from behind it, the 6th one is "Literacy". Dominos 7-10 are unlabeled and faded out in the background. Text on bottom: "United we stand, Divided we fall"
United we stand, divided we fall.
