"Traditional psychology has often upheld systems of oppression rather than challenged them. This course critically examines the historical and contemporary intersections of psychology, political movements, and social control, exposing the ways mental health practices have been used to pathologize resistance and maintain inequity.

I genuinely don't know which I find more frustrating, the way I'm treated as a #trans woman for being #attracted to any cis man, or the way any cis man is treated for being attracted to me. 1/3
