This is a good rundown of the determination Israel has to destroy international diplomacy and undermine domestic politics in foreign countries, all to cover up its genocide and hurt those who tell the truth about it. Outside the West, Israel assassinates diplomats and journalists.

Researchers from London Metropolitan University are recruiting non-binary UK-based research participants for a research study: "Thriving beyond the binary: Experiences of gender euphoria among non-binary people" Contact Jay Urquhart at giu0020@my.londonmet.ac.uk for more information
Image of non-binary flag; London Metropolitan University logo

Research project:
Thriving beyond the binary: Experiences of gender euphoria among non-binary people.

Researcher:
My name is Jay Urquhart (they/them), I am a non-binary trainee psychotherapist, studying for an MSc in Counselling and Psychotherapy at London Metropolitan University. I am conducting a study that will explore how non-binary people experience, understand and express joy, euphoria and thriving in relation to their gender identity.

Who can participate?
•        Aged 18 and over;
•        Self-identify as non-binary or use another term for your gender outside the male/female binary, such as gender-fluid, genderqueer, gender-neutral, agender or bigender;
•        Feel able to discuss own experiences of gender identity, joy, euphoria and/or thriving.

What will happen during the interview?
The interview will last approximately 90 minutes and will explore experiences of joy, euphoria and thriving in relation to your gender identity. You will be invited to share 3-5 photographs or images that represent joy, euphoria or thriving, which will be the focus of the interview. 

What are the advantages of taking part in the research?
It is hoped that findings from this study will help to increase understanding of non-binary joy, euphoria and thriving, and may also contribute to more affirmative discussions within counselling, psychotherapy and wider research by highlighting experiences of wellbeing, resilience, belonging and self-expression among non-binary people.

Contact details:
For more information or to get involved, email:
