    Unpopular opinion: I kinda like Freud. Sure, a lot of his ideas were debunked over the years, but he was one of the first people in the field to take women’s mental health seariously. He also thought of homosexuality as something that isn’t a choice and can’t be changed, unlike a lot if his peers.

      Freud had bad ideas, sure. But he was literally one of the first people in history to academically propose that maybe there was something going on with the way people think and the choices they made that they weren’t aware of (the subconscious).
