I think it is really important to be conscious and aware of who people are and how they identify. It is important to not make sexuality and/or gender identity linear and be open to everyone :)

Such a great discussion! Thank you for the space to talk about our introduction to sexuality and gender identity! It’s so important we continue to talk about these topics through these dark times! #lightiscomming #highered #saygay #whenwefightwewin #ncsu

There are a lot of gaps within the theories as they do not encapsulate the entire community they strive to. This is seen through the fact that they are predominantly focused on the experiences of white men.

Early lesbian, gay, bi-identity models were rooted in assumptions. Not all folks have the privilege to come out publicly, nor do folks have access to queer community.  Also, there is a clear lack of generalizability for POCs, as eurocentric bias undergirds most models. #Critique #MakeChange

Many of the studies are older, and I found it intriguing to view how the language and discussion around lgbtq issues has evolved. Binary smashed 🇦🇲
