Dr Haley McEwen explains how the U.S. Christian Right is co-opting human rights language to fight abortion, CSE, and gender equality at the UN.

This isn’t just local repression. It’s a coordinated global attack on human rights.

#IntersectionalPsychology #QueerRights #SRHR #Decolonise #HumanRights

The US Christian Right isn’t just pushing anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-SRHR laws in Africa. They’re reframing reproductive & #QueerRights as “cultural imperialism” at the UN in a global attack on #HumanRights.

🌈 #GenderAffirmation also means creating safe environments: from restrooms to clinic spaces. It’s dismantling the barriers that stop people from being affirmed in the first place.

“Pro-family” is just PR for hate. As Dr. Haley McEwen explains, the Christian Right defends only the cis-het nuclear model — while branding queer & diverse families “anti-family.” intersectionalpsychology.podbean.com/e/ip0303-god...

Transition doesn’t come with a roadmap. 🗺️
Non-medical practices, hormones, surgery — or none of the above — all count. There’s no such thing as a “full transition.” Every journey is equally valid.

LinkedIn calls itself “professional.” But whose idea of professionalism? For some, it’s a space for activism. For others, it’s gatekeeping in a new suit. With moderation being cut back, how safe are marginalised voices there?

“If I struggled like this as a doctor, what about the people who don’t have a medical degree?” 🏳️‍⚧️

Dr Anastacia Tomson reflects on how her own medical trauma — and the gaps in our healthcare system — pushed her into providing #GenderAffirmingCare.
#TransHealth #IntersectionalPsychology

Why affirmation? 🌈
Because LGBTQIA+ identities aren’t pathologies. An affirmative stance means respect, dignity, and active care — creating safe, equitable spaces while undoing psychology’s harms & building resilience.
