New blog! How do SSRIs affect erections? 🍆

This can affect anyone, but this blog will focus on men and pen*s-owners. They frequently report challenges with erections when taking SSRIs. This can feel confusing and even shame-inducing.

You may wonder: “Is this me? Is it my relationship? Or is it the medication?” Your body and mind may suddenly not respond in the way they used to. The good news is: you’re not alone and understanding the role of SSRIs can help you find the right path forward.

Today we honour the trans and gender-diverse people whose lives have been lost to violence and discrimination.

Trans Day of Remembrance is a day of collective grief, and a reminder of the ongoing psychological weight of transphobia. Living in a world that questions your safety and worth takes a toll on the body and mind.

Remembrance also calls us to action: to speak up, to protect, and to create spaces where trans lives are not just remembered, but celebrated and safe.

Trans Awareness Week is a reminder that visibility alone isn’t enough. Safety, affirmation, and belonging are what truly protect people’s wellbeing! 🏳️‍⚧️💜

For many trans and gender-diverse people, the current political climate isn’t just conversation, it’s lived experience. The psychological toll of being debated or dismissed is real, and it shows up in anxiety, hypervigilance, and isolation.

Allyship helps to buffer that impact.
When we use someone’s name, speak up against discrimination, or build affirming spaces, we send a simple but powerful message: you’re safe here.

New blog! What is double empathy?

The Double Empathy Problem is a theory developed by autistic scholar Dr Damian Milton. It challenges the outdated idea that autistic people “lack social skills.”

Instead, it highlights that communication is a two-way street.
