Queer Clinic: Your Voice, Your Zine ✂️✊ We’re kicking off our new series with @domduongart for a deep dive into Political Zine Making! 📅 Sunday, 8th Feb ⏰ 19:00 - 20:00 📍 Online Dominique provides a full intro for anyone who hasn't heard of or tried making their own zines before.

Processing the Noise 🧘✨ This week, we stood our ground on the facts. We untangled the media spin surrounding the Darlington case and reminded ourselves that truth is a vital part of our collective health. But we also know that having your reality "debated" takes a toll. 1/7

Queer Clinic Reality Check: What actually happened in Darlington? 🔎⚖️ If you’ve read the headlines about the Darlington nurses’ tribunal recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking a "landmark win" for exclusion had taken place. 1/8

Does exclusion actually keep us safe? 🛡️🤔 1/6

Stop scrolling for 10 seconds. This is an intervention. 🛑🏳️‍🌈 It’s late Tuesday afternoon in January. The emails are loud, the light is fading, and you probably haven't noticed that your shoulders are practically touching your ears. You don't need another "tip" right now. 1/5

Connecting with your body, on your terms. 🏳️‍🌈✨ At Queer Clinic, we believe that bodywork should be inclusive, trauma-aware, and deeply empowering. 1/9

Queer Clinic: Beyond the "Cute Fluffy Bits" 🌈 We love queer joy and soft self-care as much as anyone. But the Clinic is also here for the hard parts - and that includes standing firm against the wave of misinformation targeting our trans and non-binary siblings. 1/9

Queer Clinic: The Monday Maintenance Check-in 🛠️🏳️‍🌈 It’s Monday, January 12th. The "New Year" sparkle has faded into the "Monday Morning" reality. 1/7

Clinic Check-in: Building Your Dopamine Menu 🍽️✨ You made it. The first full week of 2026 is done, and if you’re feeling a little "hollowed out," consider this your official permission to rest. 1/7

Queer Clinic: Don’t Leave Your Magic at the Door ✨🚪 It’s the first full week of the year, and for many of us, the "Back to Reality" transition is in full swing. 1/7

Queer Clinic: The "Social Pharmacy" is Open 🕊️ If you’re feeling the "January Heavy," you aren't alone. But here’s the 2026 vibe check: The biggest wellness trend this year isn't a new supplement or a 5 AM cold plunge. It’s Connection. 1/6

Queer Clinic: New Year, Same Fabulous Soul 🏳️‍🌈✨ It’s January 3rd. The "New Year, New Me" noise is at a peak, and if we’re honest, it can feel a little... heteronormative and restrictive. At the Clinic, we’re opting for *Alignment* over *Improvement*. 1/5

Queer Clinic: Your Digital Sanctuary is Waiting 🧘✨ The days between Christmas and New Year can feel a bit... blurry. Whether you’re feeling the post-holiday burnout or you’re starting to think about your "Year of Self" for 2026, we’ve already built the toolbox you need. 1/6

Clinic Check-in: The Social Battery Reset 🔋🔌 If you spent yesterday navigating tricky family dynamics, explaining your identity for the hundredth time, or just performing "holiday cheer" until you were exhausted, then this post is for you. 1/8

Queer Clinic: Your "Plan B" Christmas Guide 🎄✨ Let’s be real: for many of us, the "traditional" family Christmas can be tricky, draining, or simply not an option. If you’re feeling the holiday dread, this is your reminder that you are allowed to build a day that feels safe for YOU. 1/9

✨ Clinic Check-in: Choosing Queer Joy 🏳️‍🌈 In a world that can feel heavy, leaning into joy is a form of resistance. Today’s festive queer clinic check-in session is all about the small, intentional ways we can nourish our spirits. Here are 3 quick ways to spark some joy today: 1/4

Your Affirmation is Life-Saving: Uplifting & Supporting LGBTQ+ Youth Mental Health The news is hard, the debates are constant, and the mental health crisis among LGBTQ+ youth is real and growing. 1/9

♿ Happy International Day of People with Disabilities (IDPD)! ♿ At Queer Clinic, we know that accessible care is not a luxury - it is a non-negotiable act of community. Accessibility is more than just ramps and lifts; it’s about safety. 1/6

🎊 We're Back! A HUGE Success for Queer Clinic! 🎊 What a day! We are absolutely thrilled to announce the successful relaunch of Queer Clinic yesterday (Monday, November 24th) at the wonderful Gucky Studio in Brighton! 1/5

💆‍♀️ THE QUEER CLINIC RELAUNCH: JUST ONE WEEK TO GO! 💆‍♂️ We are thrilled to announce the relaunch of our confidential, queer-specific BODYWORK and MASSAGE clinic at Gucky Studio in the North Laine on November the 24th! Your body holds so much. Come and see us for: 1/3

🎉 WE'RE SO BACK! In-Person Queer Clinic Returns! 🎉 Get ready, Brighton & Hove! We are officially returning to in-person community clinic from FRIDAY, 24TH NOVEMBER! 1/6

✨ Building Our Future: Hands-On Care for Our Community ✨ We believe in the power of touch, affirmation, and embodied healing. As Queer Clinic steps into its exciting next chapter with dedicated in-person space, we're inviting you to help us lay the foundations for profound care. 1/8

📢 CALLING ALL QUEER CLINIC SUPPORTERS: WE NEED YOUR HELP! 📢 Your Queer Clinic needs YOU to help us bring in-person care to life in our new space! 1/7

☁️ MindOut for the Winter Blues: Seasonal SAD in the Queer Community 🍂 As the nights draw in, many in our community feel the weight of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), often worsened by minority stress and family isolation during the holidays. It's more than "winter blues." 1/5

🌈 Brighton Parents: New 2025 Childcare Funding Alert! 🏳️‍⚧️ The expanded government childcare rollout is confusing, especially for queer and non-traditional families in Brighton. Don't miss out on the 30 hours for children aged 9 months+. The Key Local Tip: Power of 'Stretched' Hours 1/5

📢 CALL-OUT TO OUR COMMUNITY! 📢 Can you spare 3 minutes? We're helping Rosie find 8 more responses for their vital chronic pain research. This survey is for anyone who might benefit from an online Chronic Pain Programme. The proposed program includes: Breathwork & Gentle Mobilisation 1/3

📢 THIS IS WHAT INCLUSIVE HEALTHCARE LOOKS LIKE! 💖 We are celebrating a huge win for affirming care in the UK! Over 800 trans men and non-binary people with a cervix have now 'opted in' to cervical screening since the NHS implemented system changes to make invitations possible. 1/4

A Basic Element of Care: Pronouns. We ask all our clients for their pronouns (and use them!) because it's non-negotiable for affirming care. 1/3

Correction and Important Update We need to issue an important update regarding our recent post featuring an educational poster ([Original Post URL: www.instagram.com/p/...]). 1/5

We're so excited to help our friends at TransSober spread the word! After a short break, they're reopening and looking for dedicated volunteers to join their team. This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference for the Trans+ sober community right here in Brighton. 1/5

It would be funny if it wasn't so fucking terrifying. When politicians like Wes Streeting talk about banning folk from all toilets simply for being trans, the question is no longer a rhetorical one. Literally, where do we go? This rhetoric is not about safety or biology. 1/4

The term 'lavender marriage' is trending right now, but do you know its history? For decades, queer people faced imprisonment and violence if they were found out, so many entered into marriages with a person of the opposite sex for safety. 1/3

We have received a great response to our survey so far but the more responses we get, the better! Can you help us shape our upcoming movement and wellbeing programme for queer people living with chronic pain, mental health related fatigue/burn out or a long term health condition?

Feeling drained? Drop a comment with a piece of queer media that's bringing you joy right now. Our turn: the representation in The Traitors UK has us buzzing! #QueerJoy #QueerClinic #QueerClinicCIC #QueerMedia

QC Quick Tip 💛 Step outside (to Brighton beach...or wherever you are!) for five minutes. Notice a sound. Feel your feet grounding. Notice your belly rising & falling with each breath. Let this tiny walk anchor you in your body. 🌿 #BrightonQueer #QueerSelfCare #MindfulMovement #QueerClinicBrighton

The "Unite the Kingdom" fascist march was a sickening display of hate. Seeing TERFs march alongside fascists is a direct threat to our community's safety. We see you. We stand with you. We will defend you. #UniteTheKingdom #FascismOut #TERFsOut #TransRightsAreHumanRights 1/3

Midweek reset 💛 Place hands on your lower belly. Breathe in — feel it rise. Breathe out — let it fall. Let your breath guide gentle clockwise circles. 1–2 mins can release tension & reconnect you with your body. 💛 #QueerWellbeing #WombCare #BrightonQueer #QueerClinic

🍂 Autumn invites reflection, rest & reconnecting with your body, especially for queer & trans folks. Our Whole Body Relaxation & Non-Gendered Wombspace Connection Meditation guides you to release tension & simply be. 🌈 Find it in our Queer Clinic Workshop Library: link in bio, or queerclinic.co.uk

✨ What’s New in Queer Wellbeing? ✨ At Queer Clinic we centre queer wellbeing, bringing you the latest in queer care, joy, & healing. From talking pleasure & breaking taboos, to joy, inclusive healthcare, & community care 💜 We’re here with low-cost massage + bodywork too 🌱

🔥 Britain 2025: cops arrest Linehan for transphobic posts, schools ban trans kids from toilets, 100k+ march at Trans+ Pride. 🏳️‍⚧️ Hate is excused as ‘free speech,’ cruelty as ‘clarity’—but our lives are not footballs. ✊ Resist. Organise. Stay loud.

🔥 Party labels NEVER guarantee rights! 🏳️‍🌈 Starmer’s endorsement of the Supreme Court ruling on "woman=biological sex" and appointments linked to Sex Matters show whose rights are being sidelined. Not to mention Your Party's prevarication over trans rights. Resist. Hold power accountable: ALWAYS. ✊

🏳️‍🌈 Pride isn’t just glitter ✨ and parades 🎉. It began as protest — and it still is protest ✊. Here in the UK 💂‍♂️, queer 🏳️‍🌈 & trans ⚧️ rights are literally sliding backwards ⬇️. Visibility 👀 isn’t victory 🏆. We march 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ for survival 💜. We march 🏳️‍⚧️ for liberation 🔥. We march because the fight isn’t over 🚨.

Brighton’s queer community deserves healthcare that really sees us 💜 Finding queer-affirming care is more important than ever. That’s why spaces like Queer Clinic exist: to remind us that queer wellness is community care. You’re not alone here.

Pride isn’t a party — it’s protest. From Trans Pride Brighton to Manchester Pride & Carnival: every march, chant, and dance demands our right to exist. Joy shows what we fight for. The fight isn’t over. Rest when you need. Resist where you can. Both are radical.

✨ queer wellness tip ✨ Hydration isn’t just about water, it’s about nourishment, self-awareness, & self-care. Small shifts in daily care = big support for queer bodies navigating stress + resilience. What’s your favourite way to hydrate? Share it below #QueerClinic #QueerWellness #QueerHealing

🌱 gentle reminder 🌱 You don’t need to earn your rest. You don’t need to justify your joy. You don’t need to explain your queerness. You are already enough, exactly as you are today. #QueerClinic #QueerWellness #LGBTQIA #QueerCommunity #QueerJoy
