Don't just fucking lecture people online.
Step up into genuine openness for greater #community building greatness.
Share your own real #LivedExperiences because that's how powerful #humanity connections actually start blooming.
I don't give a fuck about your essay-like posts or response to my posts - if your online words aren't aligned with what you're actually doing, offline, to help the folks that you claim(online) - to care so much about.

Background: Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people experience obstacles that create barriers to accessing health care, including stigmatization and health inequities. Our intention was to describe the lived experiences of TNB patients and identify potential gaps in the education of health care professionals. Methods: We conducted a qualitative descriptive study influenced by phenomenology by interviewing with TNB adults who underwent surgery in Canada within the previous 5 years. We recruited participants using purposeful and snowball sampling via online social networking sites. Audio recordings were transcribed. Two authors coded the transcripts and derived the themes. Results: We interviewed 21 participants, with a median interview duration of 49 minutes. Participants described positive and negative health care encounters that led to stress, confusion, and feelings of vulnerability. Major themes included having to justify their need for health care in the face of structural discrimination; fear and previous traumatic experiences; community as a source of support and information; and the impact of interactions with health care professionals. Interpretation: Participants detailed barriers to accessing care, struggled to participate in shared decision-making, and desired trauma-informed care principles; they described strength in community and positive interactions with health care professionals, although barriers to accessing gender-affirming care often overshadowed other aspects of the perioperative experience. Additional research, increased education for health care professionals, and policy changes are necessary to improve access to competent care for TNB people.

[What I learned when I started a petition to help #DisabledKids.
Kids in wheelchairs can cut wood and build things, but because of the way the school was built, they aren’t able to participate in these classes the way able-bodied students can.
At the start of the school year, my civics teacher assigned us to think of a change we’d like to see in our community.]

The process of crafting narratives about environmental destruction
"We are currently living with bushfires, floods, pandemics and the extreme challenges of the climate crisis; the future is our present and the ways we think about it will dictate the ways we act and cope." >

"Eco-anxiety
is the distress caused by climate change where people are becoming anxious about their future." >

Please hold on to those small rays of hope! Hope is one of the last meaningful things in life that those without humanity try to steal from you. RESIST.
We own our narratives.

Hi! I love #SocialMedia because of the opportunity to connect and #listen to #LivedExperiences. Already #learning so much here! Excited to learn more.
I #write about #DigitalKindness and #DigitalGrace. I just released my first #podcast examining the #intersection of #autism and #CriminalJustice in one #misdemeanor case. (One of my children is #autistic and I used to practice #CriminalLaw, so the topics are important to me.)
Gradually embracing an identity as a #creator.
