While we conclude that #GenderAffirming healthcare is not gay conversion therapy, we also draw attention to opportunities to enrich gender-affirming healthcare by embracing the complexity of sexuality & gender. @DjKinitz @ThePRIDEStudy

#Conversiontherapy exists due to pervasive social values that #stigmatize 2SLGBTQ+ people, in turn, creating a supply/demand market. @DjKinitz et al underscore why policy actors must disrupt the cisheteronormative bedrock sustaining it. @ThePRIDEStudy

I’m not on the asexuality spectrum. But as a queer, feminist researcher, I think we should all care about asexuality.
Why? Because asexual perspectives can help us better understand sexuality—and gender, race, disability, family, love, etc.
Here’s why:

The decision by Minneapolis city council to set minimum pay standards for gig workers is huge. Following the minimum wage law in New York City we see municipal governments have a strong role to play in the fight to uphold working conditions. Let’s see what is possible in Toronto

It should not be controversial to say everyone should be able to retire.

This study is the most extensive portrait of job quality among #lesbian, #gay & #bisexual workers to date, noting that current human rights protections in Canada are insufficient to address labour inequities

1/For the final day of #TransAwarenessWeek we highlight "Eliciting critical hope in community-based HIV research with transgender women in Toronto, Canada: Methodological insights" by @carmenlogie, @DjKinitz, Lesley Gittings, Yasmeen Persad, Ashley Lacombe-Duncan, & @ToniaPoteat
ALT Black text on purple background reads: "Trans Awareness Week. Day 7: Team Research." Black text in white rectangles reads: "Eliciting critical hope in community-based HIV research with transgender women in Toronto, Canada: Methodological insights. Carmen H. Logie, David J. Kinitz, Lesley Gittings, Yasmeen Persad, Ashley Lacombe-Duncan, and Tonia Poteat. Summary: Critical hope centres optimism and possibilities for change in the midst of struggles for social justice. It was a central tenet of early participatory pedagogy and HIV research. However, critical hope has been overlooked in contemporary HIV research that largely focuses on risk and biomedical interventions in ways that obscure collective agency and community strengths. We conducted a community-based study with transgender (trans) women of colour in Toronto, Canada to adapt an evidence-based HIV prevention intervention. ..."
