Got really tired of seeing Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model illustrated only w/ white boys. So we made a new (prettier) version centering Black girls. Please RT & share in your psych classes! Full article on #attachment & #antiracism is open access: doi.org/10.1080/14616734.202…

For the first time, a randomized controlled trial has been published regarding gender affirming care. The treatment group receiving care saw a 55% reduction in suicidality, compared to 5% of control. I detail the results in my latest article. Subscribe to support my work.

Is it because distress isn’t being performed in the way you are used to seeing or need to see to activate the right type of response? Is it because you’re tired and don’t have the capacity to engage with the distress? Do people think we want to be in distress? That we enjoy it?

Texas has released a bounty hunter drag ban. $5,000 bounty for hunters if a person performs while "exhibiting a gender that is different from gender recorded at birth" and "violates the community standards of decency." Anti-abortion techniques now target drag and trans people.

One reason that cisableism is so powerful is too few trans people recognize it. Too often, cisableism is misinterpreted as pure cissexism (e.g., when trans medicine is called mutilation), which overlooks how ableism is an essential grammar by which transphobia is mobilized.

We are very honored that Black Trans Travel Fund exists specifically for Black Trans women. Too often we hear people say “support Black Trans women” or “protect Black trans women” & we fail to see the tangible ways that is being done.

A new(!) DBT skill acronym to deal with nonacceptance of your emotions: When judging yourself harshly, cut yourself some SLACK. S - Self-validate. Observe and describe how your emotions make perfect sense.

One of the worst anti-trans bills yet. A bill in North Dakota would mandate employers use pronouns "associated with Deoxyribonucleic acid." It fines violations at $1,500. Free speech is not the goal. Trans elimination is. Subscribe to support my work. erininthemorn.substack.com/p…

Today’s NYT newsletter speculates why monkeypox has receded. Nowhere does it consider that the LGBTQIA+ community takes public health more seriously than the broader world. Nowhere does it consider the lasting effects of the federal gov’s genocidal approach to the AIDS crisis.
