trans-axolotl:

someone at the anti carceral suicide training talked about how in order to be a therapist who actually supports your clients you have to be comfortable with breaking the law. Also, how important it is for therapists to understand that despite their individual values and the benefit they bring their clients, the whole system of psychiatry and therapy is entwined with incarceration, racism, and capitalism. And to actually confront that, therapists need to commit to breaking mandatory reporting laws and not incarcerate any of their clients.

And I’ve just been thinking about this all day, and how a lot of times therapy is presented as a neutral or inherently beneficial system when in truth it is often a system of violence. it’s been very powerful for me to be in these spaces with mental healthcare providers who are doing the work to figure out how to radically change the system.

This has always been something that I’ve been bothered by and struggled with because the idea of mandatory reporting sounds helpful but the reality is that it just isn’t.

So for anyone who is grappling with what to do about it or who is stuck thinking “but it’s supposed to help” I’ve found several resources by googling anti carceral mental health training and I’ve found a group of video resources where people discuss the method for change and effects of carceral based help in various aspects. (CPS reporting, DV reporting, Suicidal ideality reporting etc.) And I’ve included the link to that below.

Two things can be simultaneously true.

“Rainbow Capitalism” does not in any way signal whether corporations actually care about or help queer & trans people and only serves to generate positive PR and/or free advertising from “outraged bigots.”

And

Corporations openly displaying symbols of pride and queer/trans community serves as modest barometer on the social acceptance of queer & trans people, and business after business pulling back it’s pride merch/symbolism because of right-wing backlash is not good and potentially a sign of even worse to come.

Tumblr is settling with NYC’s human rights agency over alleged porn ban bias

The ban allegedly affected LGBTQ users disproportionately.

The Verge

Gee, Tumblr would probably really hate it if you shared and spread this damning article … To the surprise of absolutely none of Tumblr’s LGBTQ users, it turns out the independent NYC human rights agency Commission on Human Rights (CCHR) found that Tumblr’s ham-fisted adult content ban in December 2018 disproportionately targeted LGBTQ users. The CCHR’s investigation revealed Tumbler’s moderation algorithms is demonstrably biased against queer content. As part of the settlement, Tumblr was obligated to review their prejudicial anti-gay moderation policies. Even more mortifyingly, they’ve also had to hire an expert on sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) issues and provide unconscious bias training to their moderators. I frankly doubt Tumblr has learned a thing from this humbling experience. Just recently the Tumblr algorithm flagged three ancient posts of mine as violating their terms. All three “offenders” were vintage homoerotic beefcake images (softcore by modern standards) roughly 50 – 65-years-old by Bruce of Los Angeles, Bob Mizer and Tom of Finland. (These are of course pioneering queer artists who routinely faced censorship and imprisonment in the fifties and sixties. Plus ca change!). They’ve been visible on my page - corrupting viewers -  for years at this point. I appealed all three immediately. Only the Tom of Finland one was approved. The other two are now hidden. So, they haven’t learned much. Apparently, Tumblr – who loves to declare how hip, youthful, inclusive and progressive their values are - wants to restore trust with their queer users. I’d recommend we remember their hypocrisy when Pride rolls around and Tumblr splashes rainbow flags everywhere and attempts to pink wash their image.

In honour of Pride Month, this is worth a reblog! Don’t buy into Tumblr’s hypocritical “pink washing.”
