About to present at the @Sex_Science annual conference for my first in-person conference of my PhD! Sharing about Mental Health Experiences Of Young Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Two-Spirit, and Queer (GBT2Q) Men and Nonbinary People In Canada #SSSS2022 #lgbt2q #mentalhealthresearch

@jenhumewhite @IJCYFS Thanks Jennifer! Here is the link: journals.uvic.ca/index.php/ijcy…

Special issue of @IJCYFS published this week: “Possibilities, Futures, and Queer World-Making in CYC”. It’s incredible to see a full journal issue featuring #queer and #trans scholarship in CYC. Thank you to the co-editing team and all the amazing authors who made this possible!

Officially done my #PhD coursework!!! Onwards to comps!

Deep into the reading and writing for my #PhD candidacy process.Trying to balance the stress of this step, the heaviness of the topics, with how amazing it is to read so much #queer and #trans scholarship

@MaybeThatAlex Thanks Alex! I will (reluctantly) try to increase my Twitter time!

Wow! What an amazing conference today at #SDH2021! So exciting to be a part of a program with so many amazing students and researchers! Thanks to the organizing committee for putting together such an amazing day!

Amazing start to the #sdh2021 student conference this morning with keynote by @NaheedD ! So excited for the rest of the day!

Grateful to have shared the virtual presentation space at #mthf21 with Audrey Wolfe, @MostlyCharles and @tealePB. So exciting to hear the amazing work of others and be in conversation with them about trauma and #trans and #queer resistance to violence

Starting day 3 of #mthf21 with a panel covering #nonbinary identities and #drag as gender transgression!

Listening to the powerful stories of #trans elders at the #mthf21 elders panel share about resistance, shame, support, and surviving. Inspiring words!

Heading into day 2 at the #mthf21 conference! Starting the day with a session on health and well-being

Finishing off my day of taking in #transscholarship by listening to Susan Stryker speak about her work at Turk+Taylor/SF. Powerful, inspiring words!

Just listened to Jersey Cosantino’s presentation “hauntings of longing: a mad trans autoethnographic poetic transcription”. As a current counsellor, their words resonate deeply and speak powerfully to the gaps and challenges so prevalent in mental health services #mthf21

Attending this event right now! Excited to be spending the next few days at the Moving Trans History Forward conference #mthf21
