Post No. 2,741 - Some interesting reading/viewing

Here are some llinks that might of interest or value:

  • “Why I (As a Therapist) Hate CBT | Therapist Explains Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - YouTube”   https://youtu.be/FfT3mzxMGxM?si=gEHJpXhyx39d56lz   Brilliant video - I agreed with so much of this! Also, in my experience, I have found the people who advocate for CBT are often out of touch with their emotions, or are even anti-emotions - which puts them at odds with one of the most important parts of living, not to mention one of the best tools for growth, as is well exemplified by the outstanding work of Karla  McLaren  

  • “Q&A: Is it time for scientists to rethink how they study sex in research?”   https://www.statnews.com/2024/03/15/sex-research-male-female-scientists-cell/   “We often talk about sex as though it’s an actual part of the body that can be located, that can then have an effect on that individual’s health. Actually, sex is something that we assign as a set of categories.    ...   When we start talking about sex being complex, people assume that we’re talking about sex and gender minorities like trans people, gender-diverse people, people with intersex variations. And, yes, we are talking about those people. But we’re also talking about cisgender bodies. Women aren’t a one-size-fits-all. There’s a great deal of variation among women for all kinds of reasons. And that variation is worth understanding and worth engaging with if we want to actually address gender disparities in health.”   
  • “Debunking Spring Equinox Myths: Ostara, Eostre and the Pagan Origin of Easter Traditions”   https://youtu.be/s9ittf9xBgE?si=-JWw_vxN0veBGxe9   Very well done - well researched, well put together, and thoughtful and thought provoking. In a word: excellent - and has changed my view on Eostre 
  • also from YouTube:

Remember: we generally need to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgendering is an act of active transphobia/transmisia that puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptor to prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
