"We put so much stock in communality that a different stance is understood as pathology." I can't see the imperative towards community. Conformity? Yeah. I think when anyone talks about what COULD be OUR superpower we should always acknowledge that it's not because it wouldn't make the system run

"To have a drag queen read a picture book is supposedly indoctrination, but ‘Beauty and the Beast’ can be shared in almost every home because apparently it’s fine to teach a three-year-old that sometimes you just have to love a man enough and he’ll come good." archermagazine.com.au/2023/10/quee...

Why does this picture show white tourists? Do we still really want to be equating privilege with deep and fulfilling joy?

What if we, as therapists, conceptualised whiteness as a mental health condition and white supremacy and racist violence as merely it's most harmful presentation. Can we look at the other ways it presents? #TherapistsConnect #Whiteness

My colleague Dr. Frances Basset and I are holding another group in early September in Brighton. If you're a therapist in the area involved in antiracism or anti-oppressive practice come along. We will be examining whiteness and its impacts as a group together. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/examining-...

What about the other moral heroes of old? Surely queen victoria will also be shedding tears over the debauching of her legacy?

The Feminist Imagination in Therapy is an in-person, one-day event for anyone who would like to think about ways of bridging the political and personal in therapy. Join us for a day of discussion and imagination! Ticket link in bio. #Feminism #TherapistSky #TherapistsConnect

I had to see it to believe it. All over sussex white people have created their own communities, their own schools where whitewashed history is taught exclusively and the royal family is celebrated along with britains colonial history.

Just saw that Brighton has five "thoughtful therapists" for trans conversion therapy. One of them runs one of the largest low cost counselling and placement services in town. #TherapistsConnect #Brighton #Hove

Latest reading material. Neurodiversity Affirming Practices in Early Childhood by Kerry Murphy. (Routledge 2025). Pic is a photo of the front cover.

Happy birthday Marsha P. Johnson, visionary and fiery Black trans activist who birthed a movement. She’d by 80 today, and should still be alive. Her legacy is one of revolutionary advocacy for global LGBTQ+ liberation. Her life is a testament to the need for sex worker rights & decriminalization.

In Race Traitor, Noel Ignatiev wrote that “treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” Whiteness is a set of behaviours and actions. So is antiracism. We cannot change the colour of our skin. Luckily we do not have to. assets.ctfassets.net/zzo3jtyu2pmq...

"In Race Traitor, Noel Ignatiev wrote that “treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” In my experience, treason to whiteness is also trust and investment in the self" assets.ctfassets.net/zzo3jtyu2pmq...

This what we do here at the Centre for Empathic Reparations. You show us a book you're reading and we monkey wrench your reading list in a direction we hope will widen and grow your capacity for empathy. Here you go. #TherapistsConnect

'Writing historical fiction is a way to tell untold stories of the past, shine a light on those who may otherwise have been lost to time & to show Black people in a way that challenges the stereotype.' #booksky💙📚 #blackbooksky #authors www.writing.ie/resources/bl...

"There are things you can't reach. But you can reach out to them, and all day long. The wind, the bird flying away. The idea of love. Your own becoming." #MaryOliver . . . #LGBGTQ #Transrights #Brighton #Sussex #Communtiy #lovewins #queer

Thanks for the T-shirt and the welcome in your wonderful space to the women's library of Glasgow.

Slightly belated love shout to transpride Manchester for such a lovely event. Was great to hear the panelist's stories afterwards. Much love from cis Brighton.

“Cass-informed psychotherapy” is the new term for conversion therapy God this is making me feel sick

Did you know the govt publishes "small boat" arrivals? It's as if they didn't want to stem the tide of right wing extremism... www.gov.uk/government/p...

I'll side with those saving lives thanks. The dehumanisation in this is frightening. These are people. not migrants. Not boats. People. I'll take every one of them over the decadent white comfort reform are offering.

"white feminists have “done this before”, by historically excluding Black women from the push for gender equality. “We need to acknowledge mistakes we’ve made before, and cis women are not more important or better than trans people." #TherapistsConnect

A trans NHS doctor’s working life was put on public trial today. A tribunal cleared a cis nurse, while anti-trans figures capitalised on the spectacle. This is more than workplace drama—it's about who gets believed & who gets protected. #UKTransRights #TransSolidarity #CommunityIsCare #QueerClinic

“We'll still be trans even if politicians try to legislate us out of existence” - @junodawson.bsky.social “Everybody in the world knows what it is to be transgender, what it is to be non-binary, and you can't put the genie back in the box.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 uk.news.yahoo.com/juno-dawson-...

"I don't believe in charity, I believe in solidarity. Charity is so vertical. It goes from top to bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other person. I have a lot to learn from other people." Eduardo Galeano

Imagine it’s the west of Ireland in 1847, during the Great Famine? Starving men, women, children desperately try to get to the Workhouse or charity Soup Kitchens. British Red Coat soldiers line up on the road, fire, then bayonet wounded by the road, while laughing. 1/

Every disability rights fight starts the same way: "Perhaps you've misunderstood" "They wouldn’t really do that, would they?" Then they do. Then we’re told to calm down. Then we bury people. #TakingThePIP

Do this before the deadline tomorrow night!

#Queer people require #community and a solid #MentalHealth strategy. #SuicideSurvivor Gretchen Schoser breaks down why we must care for ourselves and each other in order to survive in today's political climate. purpl.pw/gretchenscho... #trans #transgender #lgbtq #GenderIdentity #ScienceOfIdentity

should really write an updated version and get it properly published

We're back with our legendary #T4Ceilidh this summer, yay! Fun, love and silly dancing - what more can you ask for. See you there🤩. #ceilidh #brightonandhove

Funny how all that protect women’s sports energy went out the window as soon as WNBA players showed up with T-shirts bringing awareness to the lack of financial equity they have in their league.

Uncomfortable Labels, my memoir of growing up at the intersection of being trans and autistic, is available as a DRM-Free Audiobook. Right now, it's the best way to purchase one of my books that directly supports me during "publisher nonesense season". laurakbuzzstore.com/products/unc...

Like that moment in Soylent green...chatgpt is people!
