100% this.

It's a sociopolitical term and not a medical term, so I'd imagine folks feeling it's "safe" aren't quite understanding the roots being fundamentally anti fascist. Anti heteronormative, anti sexist, and anti white supremacy.

Though I am confident I’m not saying anything that isn’t painfully obvious. You don’t go into a war on a government shutdown without an exit strategy.

No! Only way or reason this passed is bc it was negotiated for Schumer to save face. This was always gonna be the way the Democratic Party caved. And most nonpartisan Dem voters who will feel betrayed (or lose HC) for more than a day will not forgive Chuck Schumer or Dem leadership (righteously imo)

I bet you were awesome. That you spoke about cultural humility with that specific example is a big win for all of us both clients and clinicians. Thank you for all you do!!!

Oooo that’s a good one! 👏

Ooo thanks for posting this. I will be jumping in on this one for sure!

Grrr…. that is definitely not the change we want or need

I can’t wait for the day when the neurodiversity paradigm is the norm. For clinicians & researchers of all kinds to know and consider both. That learning the neurodiversity paradigm is mandatory. Mainstreamed.

Alas… that’ll be a pipe dream for awhile but a person can dream!

And just to be clear, exhausting because of all of scapegoating of trans people. I quite like being myself. But I could sure do without the all day, everyday and especially crisis days laden in transphobia.

It’s so fcking exhausting being trans

Yeah, it’s 1 thing to talk about clients generally. Another to talk about a specific one. I was especially tipped off bc he was so clearly clout chasing. It was gross. But then again, in his “definitely not racism” he needed his daughter to vouch for his feminism so yeah, that’s a whole lotta mess 🙄

I know I’m singing to the choir. It’s just alongside your good pts about racism &&& I’m so bothered he brought his client into this. If I scrolled past my therapist using my story & their support of me like this—I may feel compelled to defend him too. It’s unfair & wrong to put them in this position

Who knows how his client came into this, whether he contacted them to go after you or… But WTAF?! I’d lose my shit if my therapist or “supporter” talked abt my CSA, RAMCOA, trafficking trauma on SM to defend themselves, or claim some authority or whatever anon use of my story

No not (safe!) support

So profoundly strange for a clinician(?) with their client to come at anyone like this. Bothered me all day how problematic & unprofessional he STARTED with, “I just spent my time supporting a OEA/RAMCOA victim” or whatever “I’m-The-Only-One-Who-Knows-About-“Actual-RAMCOA”” savior complex BS he said
