‘Traditional masculinity’ deemed ‘harmful’ by American Psychological Association
– article: https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/424829-traditional-masculinity-deemed-harmful-by-american
'...The American Psychological Association (APA) officially labeled “traditional masculinity” as “harmful” in a new report.

The label is in the report titled “Guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men,” a first of its kind for the association, which was featured in the January issue of “Monitor on Psychology” magazine.

“Traditional masculinity ideology has been shown to limit males’ psychological development, constrain their behavior, result in gender role strain and gender role conflict and negatively influence mental health and physical health,” according to an excerpt in the 36-page report...'

The wet’suwet’en/unist'ot'en first nation peoples of Canada are fighting tooth and nail against the pipeline. They're literally defending their reservation. They've been battling the Canadian government, pipeline surveyers, and police, who've tried to force themselves onto their reservation for years, and are now being threatened with forced removal them from their lands. I stand in solidarity with my brothers and sisters across the border. This is illegal. This is war.

Hey, everyone.

My name is Violet, I'm a 21 year old transgirl who has a failing heart and is struggling to pay for my health costs. I really want to be able to go out and party, meet new people, and find out what I want to do in life. I work long night shifts to make ends meet, do freelance jobs on the side and even a bit of sex work with one of my lovers.

If there's any way you can afford to help me, please consider it.
