A ‘Binary’ is the assumption that there are only two fixed ways in which something can exist.
They Classify All Experiences Under Two Opposite Extremes.
Extremes Often Fail To Capture The True Essence Of An Experience.
When we assume the world works in binaries, we don’t give justice to someone’s true experiences.
Notice the experiences that society makes you believe exist only within a binary. Challenge them. In the coming weeks, we’re helping you understand and challenge the binaries of Gender, Sex, Sexuality, and other concepts.

The phrase “Mental Health Is Political” encompasses a broad and complex idea that acknowledges the significant impact of social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors on an individual’s mental health. This concept urges us to consider how various forms of marginalization and oppression intersect with mental health care and access, highlighting the inseparability of political structures and personal well-being.
‘Sex’ is a label you’re ‘assigned’ by medical professionals at the time of birth. This is purely made based on the genitalia you present at the time of birth.
‘Gender’ has nothing to do with your genitalia, or who you’re attracted to. Gender is how you feel about expressing yourself in a society. Not always confining yourself to the ideas of ‘Masculine’ or ‘Feminine’.
