University of Arizona professor Russell Toomey and his team examined profiles of 245 lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) young adults to see how they coped with sexual-minority stress during adolescence. Three common strategies emerged: Cognitive strategies (the “It Gets Better” approach), alternative-seeking strategies (changing social circles or schools), and “LGB-specific” strategies (joining a gay-straight alliance). Young people who sought out LGB-specific strategies reported better psychosocial adjustment and were more likely to graduate high school. Cognitive and alternative-seeking strategies were associated with poorer adjustment, higher incidents of depression and lower self-esteem. Alternative-seeking strategies were even linked to lower likelihood of finishing high school. “Our findings question the ’It Gets Better’ narrative that’s been given to LGB youth,” said Toomey. “Asking youth to accept negative experiences as the only coping strategy potentially exacerbates stress.” Alternative-seeking strategies, like changing schools, put the onus on the victim, says Toomey. “The child who has a different sexuality or gender identity expression is then labeled as the problem instead of really addressing the issue,” he explains. “Alternative-seeking strategies involve finding new spaces to thrive in, rather than coping with the space that you’re in… Our results find that that’s associated with more depressive symptoms, less self-esteem and less satisfaction in life.” Being able to connect with out young queer people is always a good thing, but its not always an option—especially for kids in rural areas or in religious schools where there is no GSA. In some instances, discussing the situation with parents or teachers could exacerbate the stress. There may always be a need for the “it gets better” approach, even if it’s not the ideal strategy. “Everybody needs support, and it’s really important, particularly in adolescence, to find other people who are like you, since you are going through, developmentally, a stage where you may frequently think that you’re the only one that’s experiencing whatever you’re experiencing. Having a support group where other people look like you and experience the same thing as you is really important for health, well-being, development and sense of identity.”

I’m still absolutely incensed abt vegans saying that milk is pus We produce milk, we lactate and feed it to our babies Breastfeeding is stigmatized/put on a pedestal enough as it is, don’t make opinions surrounding it weirder It’s also just obviously not true Just a straight up lie 😂😂😂

[frigbob]

here’s some info on the somatic cell content of cow milk. it’s higher when they’re dealing with mastitis (due to constant production of milk, poor hygiene due to dairy systems such as deep littering etc). 

an uninfected cow will have a SCC of under 100,000, but infected cows producing milk with a scc anywhere up to 400,000 is still fit for human consumption. hence the ‘milk containts pus’- it legally does. 

breast feeding IS stigmatized, but not sure how thats related to cows unless you’re putting your infant on a cow tit

[soycaptainandtheworldoftomorrow]

literally no vegan says or thinks that. milk is milk. but dairy milk commonly *contains* pus.

did you misread a post or are you purposely misrepresenting information you were given?
