Shaheeda Sadeck on #Islamophobia in South Africa: from mosque desecrations to stereotypes linking Muslims with extremism. Despite exclusion, Muslim communities lead in politics & social justice, promoting interfaith solidarity. 🎧 Full ep: www.podbean.com/ew/pb-56sq2-... #SocialJustice #resilience

Gender ideals are unrealistic and isolating, making it harder for anyone to ask for help. By talking openly & vulnerably, and offering compassion, we can resist stereotypes and remind each other that struggling is human, not shameful. #SuicidePrevention #MentalHealthAwareness #BreakTheStigma

Shaheeda Sadeck on #DecolonialPsychology: challenging colonial structures, integrating cultural & spiritual practices, prioritizing peer & community support, and promoting systemic mental health justice. 🎧 Full ep: #IntersectionalPsychology: intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0201-par...

“Pro-family” is just PR for hate. As Dr. Haley McEwen explains, the Christian Right defends only the cis-het nuclear model — while branding queer & diverse families “anti-family.” intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0303-god...

What were sexual and reproductive rights in Africa before U.S. Christian Right interference? 🌍 Dr. Haley McEwen highlights Uganda’s progressive HIV/AIDS campaigns — later undermined by abstinence-only policies and anti-LGBTQIA+ laws.

As Dr Anastacia Tomson explains, transition is a kaleidoscope: what’s affirming for one person may differ for another, and all are valid. Even cis people affirm gender. We all navigate the world through a gendered lens. #TransHealth #GenderAffirmingCare #GenderAffirmation

🕯️ Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide. That’s 720,000 lives lost every year — and countless more attempts.
Suicide is a global public health issue — as well as an individual tragedy. And like all public health issues, it’s one we can change. 💛

Apartheid shaped the map. 🗺️ Its effects are still felt in our homes. 🏠

Stop asking “why?” — start asking “how?” 🌈
Sexual & gender diversity is a natural part of human development. The real question: How can we create space for people to explore who they are without shame, suspicion, or scrutiny? 💜

Transition doesn’t come with a roadmap. 🗺️
Non-medical practices, hormones, surgery — or none of the above — all count. There’s no such thing as a “full transition.” Every journey is equally valid.

LinkedIn calls itself “professional.” But whose idea of professionalism? For some, it’s a space for activism. For others, it’s gatekeeping in a new suit. With moderation being cut back, how safe are marginalised voices there?

Do we want equality to be a guiding value, or are we ready to accept inequality as “normal”? Dr. Haley McEwen challenges us to decide what kind of world we’re building — together. 🌈🤔 #SocialJustice #equity #IntersectionalPsychology #SouthAfricanPodcast #FutureForAll

Family isn't just blood. 💜🌈
Supporting LGBTQIA+ mental health means affirming chosen families & diverse relationships — queer kinship, poly, ace & more. Respect, validation & advocacy are essential.

Mistakes aren’t the end of the world — they’re part of being human. 🌱
Unlearning cis-hetero conditioning takes honesty and repair, not perfection.

we know intimately what the real threat to women looks like. Cisgender men who abuse their power are the real threat. Not trans people. Not in our name. NION Women icon.

⚠️ Women in the UK don’t need to be told what danger looks like — we live it every day.

⛔ One woman is killed by a man every three days in this country (Femicide Census, 2023)

⛔ In 2023, 1.7 million women experienced domestic abuse (ONS, 2023).

It is not trans people who perpetrate these crimes.

Because LGBTQIA+ identities aren’t pathologies. An affirmative stance means respect, dignity, and active care — creating safe, equitable spaces while undoing psychology’s harms & building resilience.

WTF is Trans Broken Arm Syndrome? 👀

It’s the absurd (but very real) habit of blaming hormones for literally every medical issue trans people have.

As Dr Anastacia Tomson says, wider access to gender-affirming care can help end this stigma.
