One of the misconception people have is that just because someone is queer (me) it would be easier to be queer affirmative counselor.. well no it& #39;s not. The mainstream psych is from a cis het lens, I have to search books, literature specifically and keep updating myself.

Not to mention I have grown up in the same cis het system I am still unlearning and dismantling my cis het lens.
Doing QACP accelerated the process and yes I did get a lens from professionals who are in this field with years of experience.

I did work hard to acquire that lens and to integrate it.. so that now it& #39;s a part of me and I am able to queer all that I read.. that it& #39;s in me.. and I cannot not critic something that would hamper the discourse

So if I am on your face for being queer affirmative so be it... I have worked hard to acquire this skill and it didn& #39;t come overnight. Not to mention it is very personal.

The reason I will suggest everyone to do QACP because it will accelerate the process but the work doesn& #39;t end there.
A course shows you the direction but what you do with it is upto you.
