Yale psychiatrist urges MSNBC viewers to shun Trump-voting family members over the holidays
NY Post ^ | 11/09/24 | Olivia Land

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.

Does this child psychiatry fellow not know the difference between livelihood and lifestyle?

Sounds like a lot of families will have a happy normal "drama-free" Christmas.

There is a societal push that, if somebody is your family, they are entitled to your time.

Really? We tell all our non-resident family members that they are welcome at holidays, but they're not expected to join us. It's perfectly fine if they make other plans. All we expect is a headcount: let us know if you're coming and how many people you're bringing.

First, you can’t make this stuff up. It’s like from Mad Magazine.

Second, this person should lose their license.

Anyone who declares a “trans” identity should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for indefinite period.

Remember at Thanksgiving one year, when Obama was president, that they handed out talking points to push the Affordable Care Act at Thanksgiving dinner?

Maybe the outgoing Biden Harris administration can pass out talking points, and try to scare all of our relatives about Trump. After all in their view, it’s back to the middle ages. And back to Neanderthal times , in Donald Trump’s America.

It’s going to be a cheerless holiday season for liberals.

She said “livelihood” twice and I was asking myself “what the heck is she talking about?”

She’s afraid we will blackball them at their place of work? What a loon.

Is this the same quack that advised Covid non-believers to ostracize and avoid their relatives?

Or maybe, Mr. Shrink, you and your friend(s) decide your hobby, reading, and gaming interest are important as are your geopolitical and history conversations, and you agree not to talk politics, at least not domestic politics.
I have a number of friends who are good with that.
And the left keeps pushing new ways to destroy the family.

Large numbers of the quack shrinks remotely diagnosed Trump as too mentally ill to possibly carry out the duties of President-—first term.

Then wanted him taken out of the White House due to the 25th Amendment (silent on Joe Biden). They had a protest march with placards just like 18 year olds in college.

And in October, 2024—— Headline: More than 230 psychiatrists and mental health professionals have signed on to an open letter declaring Donald Trump to be far too mentally unstable to be ....

Meanwhile, the Trump voters are changing their wills. Sorry, kids, that $10 million now goes to the Home for Indigent Pussycats!

Liberals, in general, are pretty cheerleader people, sad to say.

I kinda wonder if they’re not speaking to Conservatives at all. The few Liberals friends and family I have seem to be avoiding us on FB and in real life.
