Polyamory Day reminds us that relationships are not one-size-fits-all. Care, honesty, and mutual respect can take many forms. We can respect people who build relationships grounded in clarity, communication, and consent.

Transgender Day of Remembrance asks us to recognize the lives lost to anti-trans violence. We honor their humanity, mourn their absence, and commit ourselves to a world where transgender people can live safely and without fear. #tdor #transgender #transgenderrights #transgenderhealth

Awareness alone isn’t enough. Prejudice & misinformation also make people “aware,” just of the wrong things. Real awareness isn’t about fear or debate, it’s about truth, care & responsibility. Trans people aren’t abstractions; they’re friends, neighbors & family, all deserving safety, dignity & joy.

Intersex people have traits that don’t fit normative definitions of male or female bodies. Intersex Awareness Week (Oct 26–Nov 1) recognizes the beauty of human diversity and affirms that intersex rights are human rights. Every body deserves dignity, care, and autonomy. #intersexawareness

Today is the International Day for Countering Hate Speech.
Hate speech is harmful. It spreads misinformation, fuels violence, & deepens inequality.
This is a public health issue. The mental, emotional, & social toll is real.
Pause. Fact-check. Educate. Support those targeted. Be louder than hate.

I'm the recipient of the Richard A. Zdanis Research Fellowship award at #CWRU
Meaning, my #dissertation focusing on #intersex adults is fully funded! I can fairly compensate my participants and community partners!
Yep, I wore a black tulle gown with a leather harness to the awards ceremony 😁

Because we do not know when we are going to die, we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well and yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number really. -Brandon Lee

International #Transgender Day of Visibility, a time to celebrate the resilience, achievements, & leadership of transgender people. It’s also a reminder for how we can better support transgender communities, especially in #healthcare. Inclusive, affirming care is essential. #TDOV

Gaétan Dugas was a man wrongly labeled as "Patient Zero" during the early days of HIV/AIDS. This harmful narrative fueled stigma & misinformation, shifted focus away from systemic public health failures. Compassionate care and accurate information are the foundations of effective public health.

The Sleeping Hermaphroditus (2nd c. BCE) reflects ancient ideas of sex & transformation. While the term "hermaphrodite" is outdated, intersex people have always existed. This statue raises questions about how bodies are defined, altered, & understood, both in antiquity & today
