< Back to School Policy Hub Communication How to Communicate Effectively Responding to Pushback Communicating effectively with your partner is one of the most important parts of maintaining your sexual and mental health. If you can't speak openly with your partner on things that are important to you, it can be hard to bring up topics that may be the difference between making a life-altering mistake or not. Whether it's insisting on using protection or expressing what you do (or don't) like during sex, your words are your most powerful asset. How to Communicate Effectively Communication is about having open, honest discussions with your partner (Image Source: PRISM FL, Inc/Nikhil Kanda) Be honest. Maybe your partner does something during sex that you're not into. Maybe your relationship isn't going in the direction you want it to. Maybe you just really can't shake the feeling that the coffee table your significant other picked out for your first apartment together will clash with the sofa and it's eating you alive. Whatever it is, make sure to express your feelings. Accept that you won't agree on everything. Recognize that no matter how much time you spend together or for how long, you'll always have different brains and different opinions. If they really want that coffee table, will the living room burst into flames? They let you pick out the throw pillows and the rug, and you'll always have an "I told you so" moment if it looks that horrendous in the end. Listen. Really, really listen. Many people listen with the intention of responding. Instead, make sure you listen for the sake of understanding your partner’s point of view. While your perspective matters, don’t forget to take your partner’s into consideration, as well. Apologize / Forgive. Like we said, not every disagreement will be resolved by you and your partner coming to the same conclusion. However, the first step to moving forward from an argument is to acknowledge your mistakes and forgive your partner for theirs. Responding to Pusback If your partner won't take your thoughts or feelings into account, it's time to have a serious talk. The key trait of a healthy relationship is that it's mutually beneficial. If only one of you is being heard and the other's views and opinions aren't acknowledged, it may be time to have a talk with your partner about these feelings or cut the relationship short.

< Back to School Policy Hub Sex Vs Gender What is Sex? What is Gender? What's the Difference? Sex vs Gender (Video) Gender Identity Resources What is Sex? Sex is a trait defined by various biological attributes. These can be various different features: Genetic (like X and Y chromosomes) Physical (like your genitals) Hormonal (testosterone and estrogen levels) While this is generally considered binary (male or female), there is a large group of people who cannot be easily placed into a biological sex binary. Some examples of cases that do not conform to these attributes include: Intersex - Physical features do not align with male or female binaries Chromosomal - extra chromosomes or missing chromosomes Hormonal - sex-based hormone levels don't align with male or female binaries What is Gender? Gender is a combination of social, emotional, and cultural ideas that define how humans interact with each other. These can be broken down into two sectors: gender identity and gender expression. Gender Identity Gender identity is how you perceive yourself on the gender spectrum. This can fall anywhere on the gender spectrum and is not limited to male or female. Gender Expression Gender expression is how you display yourself outwardly. This can include the clothes you wear, the way you style your hair, or even the way you talk. This doesn't necessarily have to "match" with your gender identity. It's just how you express yourself! Both gender identity and gender expression are fluid. They can change over time and don't have definitive boxes or categories. What's the Difference? Sex and gender ARE NOT the same thing. Sex is a biological trait that you are born with, just like your eye color or height. Gender is a societal structure; it is how to perceive and express yourself and how that aligns with gender norms and ideals. Watch our video about the differences between sex and gender.

< Back to School Policy Hub Homosexuality as a Mental Illness American Psychology Association World Health Organization Legacy Until recently, homosexuality was considered to be a mental illness by both the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and the World Health Organization (WHO). These classifications were a result of the widespread belief that sexual orientations other than heterosexuality were something needing to be cured or remedied, fostered by society’s discomfort with those who fall outside of what was considered “normal.” Now, however, both of these organizations have removed sexual orientation from their classifications of mental illnesses. American Psychiatric Association Protest of the classification of homosexuality as a mental illness by the APA. (Image Source: Cured/Patrick Sammon, Bennett Singer) Since its founding in 1892, the APA has released five editions of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), providing information and listings of psychiatric diagnoses. In its first two editions, DSM-I and DSM-II, homosexuality was found as a listed diagnosis. However, in 1973, the APA decided to remove homosexuality as a psychiatric diagnosis from the DSM-III and all following editions, including the current DSM-5. However, they replaced it with " sexual orientation disturbance" for people "in conflict with" their sexual orientation. Not until 1987 did homosexuality completely fall out of the DSM. This decision began the end of negative medicinal stigma surrounding homosexuality and other LGBTQ+ identities, and it was pivotal in generating similar shifts in other areas, such as the WHO. World Health Organization The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD) determined by the WHO is the largest and most commonly utilized classification system for diseases around the globe. In the ICD-10, which was endorsed in 1990 and remains the most recently adopted version of the ICD, homosexuality was removed as a mental illness. However, other variations of sexual orientation were classified as mental illnesses, such as someone who "wishes it were different because of associated psychological and behavioral disorders." In the direction of progress, however, the ICD-11, which was finalized in 2018, removes sexual orientation from its classifications of mental illnesses, following the lead of the APA in 1973. While the ICD-11 is not yet used in widespread medical practice, it reflects the understanding that neither sexual orientation nor gender identity is indicative of mental illness. Legacy The declassification of homosexuality as a mental illness by the APA and WHO was an important step in removing the negative stigma surrounding LGBTQ+ identities. Overall, these decisions were vital milestones in normalizing and accepting the LGBTQ+ community from a medical and social standpoint.
