You know what one of the highest compliments is being a therapist?
When someone I haven’t spoken to in a decade reaches out (out of the blue) to ask if I can support someone they care about.
Feeling so grateful to do this work. ❤️

Remind me who we are supposed to be terrified is peeing next to me in a bathroom or reading to kids at a library?
Because these emails are telling me it’s not the drag queens and trans people.
It’s like they were lying the whole time.

Republicans/MAGA: sex and gender exist only on a STRICT binary.
Also Republicans/MAGA: sexual abuse of a minor is actually a spectrum.

How is it that the same people who say trans kids are “too young to know themselves” suddenly want to argue that a 15-year-old can consent to sex? Make it make sense.

We’re about to watch the party of “protect the children” downplay & dismiss CSA and pedos.

People who are shocked or horrified that MAGA acolytes are continuing to defend their dear leader CLEARLY didn’t grow up with adults making excuses for rape-y youth pastors. It’s disappointing, but not the least bit surprising.

“Well what if [Democrat/Progressive Name] is in the Epstein files?”
I’m sorry, is that meant to be a real question? Because it’s asked like there’s more than one answer.
You prosecute the ever-loving shit out of that person immediately, and publicly condemn them. It really is that simple.

Being a sex therapist in a conservative family doesn’t make parent phone calls less painful, but it sure does make them more entertaining. 🤣

Let’s get one thing real clear: there is NO 👏SUCH 👏THING 👏as “sex with trafficked children.” There is only rape and sexual abuse. No consent = abuse. #sexualassualt #childexploitation

Just got off the phone with the office of Congressional Rep. Mark Green (R-TN). He barely let me squeeze in my request that he vote “No” on the Budget Bill. Hopefully this means they are being FLOODED with calls. #voteno #callyourrepresentative #Tennessee #5CallsApp

No! The last time we tried “regime change” we ended up in a 20+ year un-winnable war, & broke a generation of veterans who are now unable to receive adequate healthcare due to cuts made to the VA. Stop trying to force regime changes overseas. Our service members and their families pay the price.

Waking up today in #Nashville feeling closer to thousands of my neighbors. Thank you for coming out yesterday. If nothing else, seeing thousands of folks come out to protest #NoKings makes me feel not so different from y’all.

I just read a post on one of the loc pages calling MAGA cult members “trumpanzees” and while I understand this is problematic, it also made me snarf my coffee. East Nashville is my favorite corner of the country.
