I ask: What do we do when we do gender-open parenting? What does gender-open parenting do? If Marquis Bey and their black trans feminist theory set the scene, Sara Ahmed provides me with the concepts to move the methodology toward an abolitionist phenomenology beyond resistance to cisgender ideology.

5. The idea of organising healthcare around a person, their story and world of life : A study about person-centred care translated by actors
University essay from Malmö universitet/Institutionen för Urbana Studier (US)Abstract : I deal with translations of the idea of person-centred care in this paper.
