"Research can either be used to perpetuate or to disrupt the status quo, to oppress or empower marginalized groups, to provide an experience that blames people for their victimization, or seeks to liberate them and transform their lives." Fassinger & Morrow, 2013 #actionresearch

Congratulations, Lawrence! Safe spaces for our community are so important.
By a vote of 5-0, the City of Lawrence, Kansas is now a sanctuary city for LGBTQ+ folks in response to the state’s passage of anti-LGBTQ+ laws!
A huge shout-out and thank you to the folks on the ground who helped make this happen. I felt a little under the weather after today, so I watched the vote here at home in Kansas City.

I’ve said it before & will again:
I’ve heard so many regrets.
Please. I plead with you. Live deeply. You may be young now but it goes. Fast. It is a breath. Do not waste time on everyone else’s vision for you. I know it is not this easy. In all the ways you can, please be here.

The regret rate of gender-affirming surgery is 0.3%.
The regret rate for knee replacement surgery is 6-30%.
"Transition regret" is a false narrative being pushed by the media to prevent people from getting access to life-saving, gender-affirming healthcare.
However...
Let's address that 0.3%.
Many outside factors contribute to a trans person's regret:
👉Unsupportive families.
👉Transphobic environments.
👉Normal post-op distress.
Just because that 0.3% of people regret their surgery doesn't mean they're not transgender.
The fear of regret shouldn't stop thousands of trans people from getting access to the healthcare they deserve.
Regret rates exist - but not for the reasons the media are trying to push.

Stating your pronouns isn't for you.
👉It's for the trans woman who hasn't come out yet. 👉It's for the trans man who feels he doesn't "pass." 👉It's for the non-binary person who is terrified of being their true self.
Because when everyone states their pronouns, it normalises it.
And it doesn't single out the people who really need them.
Tell people your pronouns, so that the people it's *really* for, feel comfortable doing it too.
Simple, right?

✨ #AcademicTwitter Though it’s still summer, it’s never too early to think about applying to #GradSchool! As both a former grad student & now professor, I’ve learned a bit of what’s helpful when applying to grad programs. Here are some that come to mind: 1/10
ALT Tips for applying to grad schools: 1. Make an excel sheet to keep track of app requirements and deadlines. 2. Check to see if the GRE is required. 3. Go through the program’s website thoroughly. 4.Don’t just repeat your CV/resume in your personal statement. 5. Apply to programs that have multiple professors you would want to work with. 6. Find out about different financial aid available. 7. Consider what geographical locations will help you feel safe and supported. 8.Ask about mentorship and professional development.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court just paved the way for businesses to discriminate against the LGBTQIA+ community.
We cannot sit idly by and watch as this court erodes civil rights.
It’s time to expand the Supreme Court.

The same Supreme Court that overturned Roe now refuses to follow the plain language of the law on student loan cancellation. This fight is not over. The President has more tools to cancel student debt — and he must use them.
