How we treat one another forms the bedrock of who we are—but do we stop to ensure we create space for people to feel safe, seen, and wholly themselves? Do we pause to let those around us know they are loved unconditionally? The Sunday Paper caught up with Chasten Buttigieg, a teacher, bestselling author, and advocate to get his thoughts on how being more aware and meaningful with each other can make all the difference—especially as social divides widen and legislation threatens rights. Click here to read The Sunday Paper’s conversation with Chasten. #movehumanityforward https://lnkd.in/gM4pbjsA

The United Nations General Assembly designated February 20th as the annual World Day of Social Justice, starting from the sixty-third session of the General Assembly, in a declaration made on November 26, 2007. There are five main principles of social justice that are paramount to understanding the concept better. Namely, these are access to resources, equity, participation, diversity, and human rights. #socialjustic #palestinelivesmatter #equality #Ghaza #love #humanrights #justice #justiceforghaza #childreofghaza #socialjustice #uninpak #genocideingaza

What is a 'TERF' and should women be TERF's Known as a TERF, trans-exclusionary radical feminist, groups are apparently working with conservatives to push their anti-trans agenda. And what exactly is this radical agenda; "A person whose views on gender identity are considered hostile to transgender people, or who opposes social and political policies designed to be inclusive of transgender people." In other words don't disagree with the transgender community and to say so makes them hostile or oppose some social and political policies. The 'hostel' part we will park for now and revisit later. So what are these social and political policies, broadly speaking; 1) you must be nice otherwise Trans people may harm themselves, 2) you must be nice otherwise 'other' people may harm Trans people, 3) not being nice means you hate trans people. Government agencies and industry took this literally and asked the trans community to help them become less mean. You see this playing out in the advice given by the trans community, via PATHA, to health clinicians working with gender dysphoric children 'ignore there underlying mental health conditions and children know whats best for them'. And why we had 740 children on puberty blockers in 2023 & why 375 of them were lesbian, bisexual or straight girls. The key question is 'can a man become a women? Or more fundamentally 'what is a women? I asked an audience this very question a year ago and the first response was "an adult female human". It was from a nurse so you would expect her to know. As you would expect from our health system who tweeted out a message to "all pregnant people" rather than 'all pregnant women'. Or what about ACC who claim that 'WOMXN' refers to people who menstruate including women, trans men, men, gender diverse and non-binary people. But hold on a man can get his body altered to appear more feminine so why cant he become a her. Firstly its impossible to change sex's. The father of this modern movement 'John Money' ran the experiments in the 1960's-1970's & then lied about the results for 20 years. What he actually proved is you can not. And given even our brains are different its not happening any time soon. So let's play this out - some TERF's wanted to talk about womens issues in Albert Park last year. The TERF's numbered less than 100 while the rainbow community numbered over a thousand. The FERF's were there to talk and the rainbow community was there to make sure they didn't. So far no issues. However then the rainbow community turned into a rainbow mob hell bent of getting those hateful TERF's. But they just wanted to talk - no they were 'hostel' for wanting to talk about womens issues without trans people. Thats not being nice, its mean. So the men in dresses intimidated & assaulted the women. I say good on those real women for standing up for the rest of you 'silent women & men' & being called TERF in 2024 shows you have real balls

Breaking Free From Utopian Illusions: Respecting Our Right to Misery The narrative around human rights has mostly been directed towards creating a utopian society. However, this eye-opening article reminds us of a forgotten human right - the right to be miserable. It's an invitation to envision a society that allows the pursuit of happiness rather than enforcing it, recognizing that humans will always find reasons for misery, regardless of external circumstances. A must-read for anyone interested in a more nuanced understanding of social justice and human rights. #SocialJustice #HumanRights #EmotionalAuthenticity #HumanRights #EmotionalSpectrum #SocietalBalance #Spirituatliy #Misery #Philosophy https://lnkd.in/eudYRN6r

Founder of Tough To Talk. Speaker, author and presenter on Male suicide prevention and men's crisis. Assessor/Tutor suicide prevention training. 07812026657 talk@toughtotalk.com
The video was truly eye-opening. It mirrored a trend in society where men's issues seem overshadowed by women's concerns despite both being critical for our society's well-being. Although this video is from 2017 it has resurfaced recently for obvious political reasons but doesn't serve efforts to tackle men's issues. Jess Phillips's remarks in the video sadly reflect what many people encounter daily. Rather than directing any negativity towards Jess, I aim to shed light on the prevalent stigma and gender biases men face. I commend Sir Philip Davies for advocating for addressing men's issues within the government. It's crucial to understand that addressing men's issues doesn't diminish the focus on women's challenges; we can and should tackle both with equal urgency. Ignoring the struggles faced by men under the assumption of gender parity only widens the existing divide. The escalating male suicide crisis underscores the importance of addressing the underlying issues leading to these tragic outcomes. Neglecting these issues undermines organisations' significant efforts to combat this crisis. I would appreciate the opportunity to have a constructive dialogue with Jess to delve into the pressing concerns contributing to male suicide. This dialogue could help grasp the often-overlooked challenges that many men confront. Let's collaborate to foster a more inclusive conversation that acknowledges and works to resolve issues impacting all genders. https://lnkd.in/eUGJ6hXS #toughtotalk #breakthesilence #manup #mensissues #malesuicide #malesuicidecrisis

This week we are leading up to International Women’s Day 2024 ♀ In my experience, so often when men are asked to highlight women who have inspired them personally they come up blank!! So this week, I want to take the opportunity to highlight some women who have shaped my views and beliefs about the law. I'll include a bit of bio and trivia about them and how they have impacted me. This is not a ranking, or an objective statement on their impact; it is a personal journey on how my views were shaped by these incredible women while I was at law school. IWD series 1/5 Angela Davis is an American political activist, scholar, and author. She is most noted for her involvement in the civil rights movement of the 60’s and 70’s, and her association with the Black Panther Party. She has written extensively on issues of race, gender, and incarceration. Born on January 26, 1944, her career has been marked by a tireless commitment to social justice, civil rights, and challenging systemic inequalities. One of her most notable actions came with her arrest in 1970 on charges related to a violent courthouse incident. The subsequent trial, known as the "Angela Davis trial," drew international attention and became a symbol of the fight against racial injustice. Despite facing serious charges, Davis was acquitted in 1972, solidifying her status as an enduring figure in the struggle for civil rights. I first came across Angela in my second year of law school, when I read her critiques of Michel Foucault’s theories regarding the development of incarceration and punishment. Davis highlighted that the American development of incarceration was heavily driven by the abolition of slavery, and the wealthy’s desire to maintain a cheap labour force. Angela Davis shaped my view of the law by providing a lens of examining policies and judicial systems in the context of historic racial injustices, and examining how those systems endure even when explicitly racist laws and policies are repealed. Her life shows us that even when substantive victories are gained in the pursuit of justice, the hangover of injustice will endure if we do not continue our fights against it. The theme this year is “Inspire Inclusion” which you can read all about here: https://lnkd.in/gy3AM-3q #internationalwomensday2024 #IWDseries #criticalracetheory #angeladavis

2wThanks Maria + great post and so needed right now! I wish you would come out to DC metro and do some leadership coaching: local government officials - and landlords and doctors - are extreme control freaks who retaliate by withholding services or funding or urgent support if your emails or social posts anger or disagree with them. VA & MD struggle with extreme corruption; and outside of DC no one respects human or civil rights. Very bad cultural trends for us
