Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance we remember trans+ lives taken by hate & violence. We grieve, we name, we celebrate and we keep fighting for safety & care. If you or someone you know needs support, reach out. You're not alone. #TransDayOfRemembrance #TDOR #TransLivesMatter #AffirmTransLives

💛 Talking about suicide doesn’t make it more likely — silence does. Checking in with someone can be a lifeline. But how we talk also matters.

🌈 #GenderAffirmation also means creating safe environments: from restrooms to clinic spaces. It’s dismantling the barriers that stop people from being affirmed in the first place.

Apartheid left scars on how we think about gender. Rigid stereotypes of masculinity & "strong" women fuel stigma today. But stigma is learned — which means it can be unlearned. 💛

Discrimination isn’t passive. 🌈
Clinical Psychologist Thembi Dlamini reminds us non-discrimination means deliberate, ongoing action. As professionals we must ask: Does my work challenge inequality or reinforce it? intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0302-the...

Transition isn’t just hormones or surgery. 🌈 It can mean legal, social, or physical changes like binding, tucking, voice training, or even breaking gender “rules.” No two transitions look alike — and that’s valid. Cis people affirm gender too. #TransHealth #GenderAffirmation #GenderAffirmingCare

Changing the narrative on suicide requires systemic change. It's about shifting from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, understanding, and support.

Thanks to @IASPinfo for starting the conversation.

Unlearning cis-hetero conditioning takes honesty and repair, not perfection.

🌿Celebrating Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week!

We honour those who experience little, fluctuating or no romantic attraction.💚

🌈This week is a chance to:
✨ Learn from the perspectives of aro-spec voices
✨ Celebrate love in all its forms, beyond romance #ASAW #AroSpec #LoveBeyondRomance #LoveIsLove

🧠💜 Mental health is shaped by our social world. Discrimination, inequality, and systemic barriers impact what we believe is possible. Your struggles aren’t personal failings. Your resilience isn’t just survival. Your joy is resistance. #MentalHealthMatters #SocialJusticeInTherapy #YouDeserveSupport
