Gentle reminder that crying is good for your brain, it releases feel good hormones and activates rest. It's also allowed, by the way, in case you needed permission (like me). #mentalhealth

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

A feminist psychiatry
During the 1980s in some health-care settings in the UK an acronym started appearing in medical notes, or rather, in women's medical notes: TATT CC AAO. Many doctors were trying to get the “tired all the time, can’t cope, aching all over” patients out of their consulting rooms as quickly as possible. This shorthand betrayed the medical system's bias and a hubristic resistance to engage with these patients’ symptoms. The overlap of exhaustion, pain, and distress still leaves women vulnerable to different, and inadequate, care.
