THE MORE YOU KNOW

The 2015 United States Transgender Survey (USTS) is the largest survey examining the experiences of transgender people with 27,715 respondents. Respondents with disabilities also faced higher rates of economic instability and mistreatment. Nearly 24% were unemployed, 45% were living in poverty, 59% of transgender people with disabilities experienced serious psychological distress, 54% reported they attempted su***de in their lifetime, and 42% reported higher rates of mistreatment by health care providers. One reason for the high percentage of su***de attempts may be due to distress related to barriers to obtaining transition-related health care, such as a lack of insurance coverage, inability to afford those procedures, or lack of access to providers.
-
As the national conversation about transgender people continues to evolve, public education efforts to improve understanding and acceptance of transgender people are crucial. This includes eliminating barriers to quality, affordable health care, putting an end to discrimination in schools, the workplace, and other areas of public life, and creating systems of support at the municipal, state, and federal levels that meet the needs of transgender people and reduce hardships no one should have to face.

Pic2 - “Oh shiiiiiiii.....Finally!! Woof...I thought those were NEVER GONNA LEAVE!” “Thank you for helping me move forward without them my friend!”

Real talk . I wasn’t able to broadcast the pod this past Friday because LIFE HAPPENS and that’s okay. Schedules change, people have car trouble, family comes first, I’m too anxious right now, whoops I had to move out of my apartment unexpectedly, etc. And you know what? IT’S OKAY!!

Now did I believe that myself? Of course not! I worried and worried and worried about a deadline which, at the end of the day, is arbitrary compared to the mission. I worried about letting people down and that spiraled until I reminded myself... is about our shared experiences, and thank you for sharing your experiences with us!! The support of this where people are choosing to speak openly about mental health IS POWERFUL!

What is ?
Here’s some definitions for your ❤️

• Mindfulness is an austere form of attention to your surroundings and emotions.
• Mindfulness is learning to be in control of your thoughts, instead of your thoughts being in control of you.
• Mindfulness builds an awareness of accumulating positive experiences during moments of uncertainty or emotional crisis.
• Mindfulness is using all five senses to check the facts in the present moment AS. IT. IS.
• Mindfulness is a practice that reduces unhealthy judgements of others and ourselves.
• Mindfulness increases our ability to radically accept ourselves as BEAUTIFULLY imperfect.

How do you practice Mindfulness? Yoga style meditation?
Taking a walk and appreciating the warmth of the sun?
Watching clouds go by while laying on soft green grass?

What’s your go-to ?
How does your practice help you?

Thank you for sharing because you’re helping others too🤟🏼
