Programs and living arrangements for children and youth in systems are often organized based on a gender binary. For example, group homes, residential treatment facilities, detention facilities, and emergency shelters typically have a “boys” unit and one for “girls.” Research with nonbinary youth has brought to light the challenges many face in navigating their identities within “institutional binaries.” Nonbinary youth are “invisible because they are erased by the binary system and its assumptions, while being hyper visible due to [being uncategorizable] within a binary system.” A lack of understanding of nonbinary identities presents numerous challenges for nonbinary youth navigating simple yet critical life steps. We owe all nonbinary people, particularly nonbinary youth already navigating complex systems, so much more. https://loom.ly/gqaSDMk #CSSP5for2025 #economicjustice #healthjustice #familyautonomy #racialjustice #childwelfare #familysupport #family #mentalhealth #community #familylove #parentingsupport #communitysupport #mentalhealthawareness #youthlgbt #lgbt #lgbtq #queer #gay #pride #trans #lesbian #lgbtyouth #bi #transgender #lgbtqia #lgbtinformation #lgbtqresources #lgbtcommunity #youth

HURRAY! THE INAUGURAL SESSION OF THE OPINIOSPHERE IS HERE Dear esteemed audience. It is with utmost pleasure that we announce the inaugural session of the Opiniosphere. The Opiniosphere is without doubt a round peg in a round hole as it offers a raw opportunity for an unadulterated discussion of legal and non legal matters by intellectually mobile students and enhances legal knowledge acquisition. The theme of this inaugural session is #LGBTQ AND THE NEW GENDER IDENTITIES AN EXERCISE OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT OR WESTERN ACCULTURATION? We understand that new gender Identities is a contemporary matter which has received mixed reactions so far with some positing it to be a western idea while others believed it is an exercise of right to bodily autonomy and privacy. As a result, this is us affording you a space to share your opinions on the theme. We believe that this will create an atmosphere for intellectual growth and respect of diverse opinions among students. Kindly join the discussion tonight by 6:00pm via https://lnkd.in/d3AeeMG9 , with Oladipupo Samuel Boluwatife and Daniel Padonu, SAL facilitating the discussion.

Love and inclusion is everything.

How I respond when people say the LGBTQIA+ initialism is getting “too long”🧐🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ This is something I hear from both outside and within the community - this is how I address it: “1️⃣ Each letter and the plus sign represents entire communities whose experiences deserve recognition. The effort it takes to use the initialism is worth the significant impact it has on those who feel seen acknowledged and respected by it. 2️⃣ The evolution of the initialism reflects society's growing recognition and inclusion of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities. The initialism getting longer is a sign of positive progress. 3️⃣ Identity terms are rarely perfect, and language constantly evolves for good reason. If you believe the initialism could be improved, I'm all for constructive feedback. However, this feedback should prioritise the needs of the communities it represents, not your own. So on that note, how do you think the initialism could be improved to better serve the LGBTQIA+ community?” If the person is genuinely interested in engaging in productive and sensitive discourse, that’s usually the perfect setup. And if not it’s hopefully a learning opportunity. Hope this post helps - it’s day 14 of my “30 Days Of Gay” Pride month series🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈 #linkedinlearning #inclusion #pride #pridemonth #lgbtq #lgbtqia

In celebration of the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia, I attended 'The Global Fight Against LGBTQ+ Rights: How Transnational Conservative Networks Target Sexual and Gender Minorities'. 🏳️🌈 Phillip Ayoub's research into the transnational networks fighting for and against LGBT rights brings a unique perspective to International Relations, of conflicting norm diffusion and norm entreprenuers who are heavily influened by eachother, yet working toward opposing goals. Understanding this is essential to the work of LGBTQ+ activisits, who must reframe their work to combat criticisms and foster support for equality among those who are hesitant. Having finished my degree, it is important for me to continue seeking out new opportunities for learning and gain insight from a diverse range of perspectives. In my career, I aspire to continue learning about new perspectives in order to combat inequalities most effectively and bring about positive social change. So, to those who are further on in their career journey: how do you continue to learn and grow within your role? #equality #lgbt #pride #socialchange #research

Today marks both International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Interphobia & Transphobia (#IDAHOBIT) and the 5th anniversary of same-sex marriage legalization in Taiwan 🏳️🌈. In May 2017, Taiwan's Constitutional Court ruled that banning same-sex marriage was unconstitutional, setting a two-year deadline for change. Despite a 2018 referendum favoring traditional marriage, Taiwan's legislature legalized same-sex marriage in May 2019, making history as Asia's first 🎉. Taiwan's journey shows that perseverance can overcome setbacks. Let's continue to champion diversity, inclusion, and equity for all 🌍💪. #LoveIsLove #LGBTQ #Equality #Inclusion #Diversity #IDAHOBIT #Pride 🏳️🌈

The #Transphobic #CassReport is another attack on #TransHumanRights #TransIdentities #NonBinary #LGBTQIA individuals. #Transphobia perpetuating harmful ignorant stigmas which will prevent so many individuals to be respected and assisted in who they are and what they need. Worse, it will increase #MentalHealth, #GenderDysphoria issues among the #Trans #Queer #GenderNonConforming community. This report is not fit for purpose, because the real purpose is a very harmful pathologisation of trans identities. #GenderIdentity We need for the report to be dismissed and for a real trans friendly and trans aware report to replace it for policy making. #LGBTQ #LGBT #Cass https://lnkd.in/e95haF3B
