Frontiers in psychiatry is having a conversion therapist guest edit an issue specifically tied to pathologizing trans youth.
This is incredibly disgusting to see a prestigious journal mainstreaming a conversion therapist and his organization like this.

Can you please help spread the word about this:
Frontiers in psychiatry is having a conversion therapist guest edit an issue specifically tied to pathologizing trans youth.
But it can be stopped if people apply pressure!

friendly reminder that pathologizing harm both stigmatizes existing mental illnesses & takes blame away, both from those who commit these acts & from the systems enabling & encouraging them

Also, they're... sensationalizing, pathologizing, and stigmatizing play and fantasy, innocuous fun

The phrase "a pathologizing perspective" is doing two things in that sentence. My perspective of Integral Spirituality is pathologizing: it looks narcissistic and culty. Simultaneously, Mr. Wilbur's perspective is pathologizing: he's fixated on everyone but a tiny illuminated in-group being crazy.

Should I make a "What Actually IS Autism?" PDF file for everyone to read?
This PDF file will read past the pathologizing stuff entirely and finally cover the truth about autism, and explain truly what it is.

Being on ablifying medication is all well until the effect of amplifying major feelings ( here excitement with a dash of anxiety) actually disables u again.
(Aka me freezing up and pathologizing everything that could be a symptom of other\further diagnoses) 😥

i'm autistic and being mute does not mean you're autistic.
you can be mute and not autistic.
stop pathologizing character's traits esp if the only other reasons you think they're autistic is "they act cute/nice"
this is actually ableist as shit

Probably my most cancel-able, boomer take is that we're "pathologizing" gambling too much. Losing a thousand bucks at a casino is a "oops, got lost in the rush of the moment" mistake. Losing half a mil isn't something that happens without multiple conscious decisions.
the scariest thing about this story is it confirms everything about sports gambling is as bad as it seems — and getting worse www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

even in the bluenami, “porn addiction” and “sex addiction” remain popular scapegoats for the rape culture we’re all drowning in, but comprehensive sex education for children and adults remains never to be discussed. like, sex education is the way out, not porn censorship or pathologizing sexuality.

I'm giving up on The Religion of Tomorrow. Neither its psychology nor its spirituality contains anything for me to learn from. I would only be studying things I consider unhealthy beliefs that I disagree with, a pathologizing perspective that is low-yield and best not pursued without cause.

something else entirely, spread education about not pathologizing autistics anymore so we might be safer around allistics and psychs aren't decades behind scientifically, give us access to all resources to live rich lives, as well as to community

Horrifically painful uber ride where the driver insisted on playing a clearly AI-generated audio describing the distinction between “alpha” and “sigma” males. I really try to avoid pathologizing people, but I truly do understand better now why so many men are very unwell.

There's a history of denying the existence of sexuality in children and pathologizing it and creating moral panics surrounding it. People have gone so far as to lock up children in torturous reformatories for merely being sexual in some way or other.
It's very cruel.

hey it would be great to give a shit about the disabled and mentally ill by not pathologizing these behaviors, not to mention how doing so is just putting a rug over the social issues that actually cause these behaviors, which is incredibly counter-intuitive if the goal is real societal change.
