🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 Hello everyone, as a current genderqueer person and former child I can tell you that I was Q***r when I was a kid. Like, so Q***r no closet could hold me. One of my earliest memories is of me tricking my family so I could watch “My Little Ponies.” At age 4 I knew how I was supposed to interact with the world based off of my perceived gender. This was the 80’s (I’m 40 now) so there wasn’t much (if any) resources for a person like me. And guess what, I still grew up to be Q***r as F**k. My family system and community thought they were helping me by shielding me from knowledge and support. It actually did the opposite, it hurt me deeply. I’m a tough cookie and fought like Hell to survive, and I still have to deal with the traumas I endured. So, make sure to let the Q***r kids (and adults) in your life know that you love them, just as they are, by telling them. And then put that love into action by telling the leadership of Texas how you think they should support Trans youth. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I saw someone “LOL” this. No. This isn’t funny!! This is real!! So many of the things we do in our nerdoms, geekdoms, fandoms, gaming, etc. lives IS a REALWORD experience!!! Learning how to make our language translate to the normie or IRL world’s language is one of the keys to connection. This isn’t a matter of not fitting in, but rather a way to circumvent the obstacles in communication so that we can find a shared nomenclature. :)

It’s all about perspective.

To Everyone!! As most of you know, I have been trying to navigate the use of Side Quest Therapy in someone's Tik Tok thing. I have been receiving literally hundreds of emails, messages, and request for info and services! You've likely heard me refer to my "little private practice" at Side Quest, and that's because I have a full-time job as the Clinical Director at Capital Area Counseling where I supervise pre-graduate interns in the LPC, LMFT, and LCSW tracks.
This means that I would, even in a "normal" week, really struggle to return so many missives. This week, however, I'm with family in the hospital in Dallas, which is making it even harder for me get back to anyone. I PROMISE I WILL!! Just realize my response times will longer than I am happy with.
Please be a little more patient, as I will be driving home tonight or tomorrow at the latest. :)
Again, thank you all for your support, and know I will provide appropriate services or referrals to every person inquiring. :)

Apparently there is a disgusting person using the moniker of in her TikTok videos. (I barely know what the heck that means).
I’ve been answering emails and complaints being dropped off on my website explaining that she has nothing to do with me.
I’ll leave this pinned here in the hopes that it helps people understand that this has nothing to do with me.

Rest assured that my tiny private practice would never hire someone like her!! (Not just because I could never afford to hire anyone). 🙂
I have been checking into usage rights, but apparently her account is now deleted. Hopefully we will never hear from her again!! Thank you so much for checking in with me!!
