Conversion Therapy Thinks It's a Growth Mindset? That's EXACTLY the Problem.
Identify Yourself - a live stream you can live with
A False Growth Mindset prizes effort, not learning, and conversion therapy leans into the fallacy. But knowledge is the basis of action, and changing knowledge requires more than shouting at a Queer kid.
Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset teaches the gender-diverse community how to embrace our Queer nature to its fullest. But if we can change our gender with a Growth Mindset...
- Why can't we change into what conservatives want us to be?
The answer is the difference between *knowledge* and *ability*. Bioessentialist arguments are distinctly Fixed Mindset, while "Born This Way" is only a foundation for a Growth Mindset.
If you watched this live stream and wanted more about Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset, this video is for you!
Here I talk about:
☑️ Fixed Mindset: why conservative anti-Queer rhetoric is not the same as "Born This Way"
☑️ Conversion Therapy: why it claims a Growth Mindset, but espouses a Fixed Mindset
☑️ Born This Way: why knowledge differs from ability, and why that matters to the Queer community
☑️ Our Deepest Knowledge: how a Growth Mindset respects who you are, not forces you to change
