Important 🧵to understand what affirmative therapy really means.

[BPS- Gender, Sexuality and Relationship Diversity @BPSSexualities]

Explainer: Advocates of #ConversionTherapy misrepresent 'Affirmative therapy' as pushing people towards being LGBT and as being ethically questionable.
In fact, affirmative therapy provides an affirming (non-judgemental) space free from stigma to explore one's identity 1/

Autism - It's on silent in case someone calls

The internet doesn't turn people into trolls. It just makes their trolling more visible.

8 studies, over 8k people: if you're an asshole online, you're probably an asshole in person too.

Trolls choose aggression to get attention. It's better to ignore them than feed them.

The irony of "soft skills" is that they're often the hardest to master.

Leadership, communication, collaboration, creativity, and adaptability may not be technical, but they're increasingly vital.

Behavioral, social, and emotional skills are what make humans indispensable.

@DrDebraSoh This confirms my suspicion that you are an old gay man in a young straight woman's body. ;)

I am happy to document some of the pervasive, very serious factual errors in Joyce’s book. They undermine its narrative. The book is poorly researched, and readers will be seriously mislead.

It’s easy to criticize, hard to create.

[Dr. L 🧠🧐 @Psyer2]

@StoneyGuardian @wickedguide @Ayishat_Akanbi Yes. Some artists do that for "exotic" effects. Some Han ppl try to change the ethnicity on their "hukou" (household registry) to score minority points for their kid in the college entrance exam, which is a crime in China (unless they can prove at least 1/2 of ancestry).

It's 2021 ffs. I applaud the Norwegian Handball Association for standing up for their athletes.

Here’s a fun exercise in Critical Race Theory:

In the entire history of this nation, name 3 issues concerning race, equality or freedom where a majority of white people were on the right side of history AND black people turned out to be wrong.

Follow me for more brain teasers.

@sbkaufman Have you seen the inside of these restrooms? Do they look different? Are they single-stalled?

Defending free speech by forcing individuals to register their views with the state so the state can determine if they are appropriate

[Dr. L 🧠🧐 @Psyer2]

@nhannahjones The media should also include this tweet which clearly summarizes the well-planned Republican misinformation strategy. There's zero hiding of the objective of this intentional conflating and flaming campaign.

[Dr. L 🧠🧐 @Psyer2]

Journalism when reporting on CRT should also include this tweet from Christopher Rufo. He clearly states the objective of the intentional conflating and flaming campaign; there is zero hiding.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

It's a failure of journalism if stories on the critical race theory "controversy" do not include the factual and contextual reporting that this is a well-planned Republican misinformation strategy and that nearly nothing being labeled critical race theory actually is CRT.

[Kyle Griffin @kylegriffin1]

Fox failed to fully disclose the professional conservative ties of 11 guests featured in segments about critical race theory, among them: Republican strategists and lobbyists, staff of conservative think tanks, and media personalities.
