I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

‼️ The State Department has REMOVED TQIA+ on their page of recommendations for queer travelers. This page yesterday said "LGBTQIA+" and now just says "LGB".
The federal government is trying to erase trans people from existence.

I want to remind everyone that the far right sees transgender people as being worthy of segregation out of general society, "separate but equal" treatment that of course, is never equal.
So much so that Iowa Republicans literally tried to redefine the word equal to not mean "same" or "identical."
