A Yale-affiliated psychiatrist encouraged LGBTQ+ people whose family members voted for Donald Trump to cut ties and shun their relatives over the upcoming holidays — as fallout from the election reached hysteria on left-leaning MSNBC.
Yale University child psychiatry fellow Dr. Amanda Calhoun dug into the issue of the post-election crises in the LGBTQ+ community with MSNBC’s Joy Reid on Friday night.
“There is a societal push that, if somebody is your family, they are entitled to your time. And I think the answer is absolutely not,” Calhoun said in a clip shared online.
“So, if you are going through a situation where you have family members or you have close friends who you know have voted in ways that are against you, that are against your livelihood, then it’s completely fine to not be around those people, and to tell them why,” she continued.
“To say, ‘I have a problem with the way that you voted because it went against my very livelihood, and I’m not going to be around you this holiday, I need to take some space for me.’”
Calhoun appeared on liberal network’s “The ReidOut” in response to reports of a massive increase in crisis calls from LGBTQ+ youth in the wake of Trump’s staggering win this week.
Under Trump’s presidency, many rights and protections for trans people and other members of the LGBTQ+ community are likely to be under serious threat, advocates say.

Against your livelihood? What are they, professional drag-queen story hour storytellers?
Many psychiatrists have mental problems.
LIbs are extremely tolerant of everyone they agree with.
No problem. I already never talk to my insane liberal family members.
And Trump-voting family members are comfortable with this.
Is too. 100% MAGA. Thanksgiving with be nice.
Cult characteristic is to alienate family.
Every few years we’re invited to Thanksgiving at the farm with my husband’s cousins. I’m looking forward to it. Half are dems and about half are republicans. There was one couple who were a bit obnoxious but they’re both dead.
Ever met a shrink that didn’t need a shrink themself?
They really are evil, aren’t they?
No!
Save it all for Festivus.
I hope you have a great time.
She’s a trainee. It’s fairly arrogant for a resident/fellow (i.e. a trainee) to go on Joy Reid and make pronouncements. Lucky for her, it’s a free nation, particularly now.
Such nice, loving people, these Harris voters. NOT.
My sister held a victory party on Wednesday!!!
There’s always a few medical students who go into psychiatry because they themselves have psychiatric issues. This turd sounds like one of them.
He should be put on probation, but there is too much wokeness going on with medical professors. They need to be purged and stick to the basics.
Politics needs to be removed from ALL education.
How does one teach history without discussing politics? I take it you don't want students learning about the Constitution or the why of the American Revolution.
