I know Gender Studies gets clowned on a lot online, but would it be a bad idea to declare it as a minor? I’m a psych major and I’m really interested in it as a queer person myself who wants to someday become a therapist for LGBTQIA+ kids/teens

As a minor it definitely cant hurt, especially for your field. Also wouldn't hurt to ask an academic advisor about it too to get her perspective:)

if you’re a psych major planning on going into therapy gender studies will definitely help in understanding non-cishet clients better.

I’m a psychology major who finished minor requirements in Gender Studies. I loved my decision.

It’s my minor and I mostly liked it. My only gripe is the huge amount of essays I had to write. But honestly I would recommend it for your degree and what you want to do
