(I’m locked out of Twitter.) What constitutes “hate speech” in 2022, idea pathogens, psychological immunity, and the freedom-versus-safety dichotomy

Medical policies should be evidence-based, not activist-driven.

How I faced every therapist’s worst fear and lived to tell the tale.

This resource list was previously lumped in with my disclaimer, FAQ & contact info post. People frequently ask me for gender resources so I wanted to offer this document separately.

You’re brave. You have done something some people go a lifetime without: admitting you were wrong after having invested your time, faith, money, effort, sense of self, and even your body. That’s rare.

Life is always a mixed bag, and Earth exists somewhere between Heaven and Hell. Sometimes, it is what we make it.

Today, my splenic authority kicked in and told me what to do, and I felt liberated. All at once, I was able to detach myself from a situation I thought I was “supposed to” be involved in, only to discover that my participation there was completely optional and I was free to walk away at any time.

In this case, the worst-case scenarios I fear involve damage to my career and reputation, so it’s helpful for me to review what I know about that.

What follows is not medical advice. It is a series of ideas to contemplate as thought experiments that could spark other insights.

The trick is to create the right social & environmental conditions to support their optimal functioning. Allow the autistic person to regulate themselves.

Just a practical post for reference. Please review this before asking me a question directly, as it may already be addressed here.

If we are to solve problems collectively as adults, we must restore a sense of respect, deference, and humility for the hard and complicated labor of love that is parenting, and ask ourselves how we can support parents returning to their rightful place as authority and attachment figures with the power to guide their children to a point where they truly are not needed anymore.

For those who have been following the drama around activists threatening my career, I still haven’t heard anything from the board about it. My letter was forwarded to the compliance department, but there was no response.

We now see how it’s possible to think of oneself as playing a particular, helpful role in addressing what one sees as systemic problems, while altogether serving a different role when we zoom out and look at the bigger picture.

This is why I still want to encourage all my readers to contact therapists directly. There’s important work to be done here.

I can’t expect others who barely know me to go through the mental effort of imagining that perhaps my messiness that shocks and disappoints them is only the end result of a long day of devoutly conscientious efforts.

You are stretched thin. You know the world will never stop supplying you with people in pain, and you will always have to be selective about who you take on helping.

It’s about the sheer brainpower to concentrate on sorting through them and processing each one appropriately. I could do this, but at what expense?

If you need me, I won’t be in the games. I won’t be on the bench. I’ll be wandering off in the forest, miles away from the arena.
