Waldemar Krysiak, known by his pseudonym Myślozbir, is a former LGBT+ activist who frequently engages in public discussions with members of the queer community. Krysiak adheres to the principle of being ‘gay, not queer’, meaning he is gay but does not support the broader LGBT+ movement, transgender rights, or participation in queer visibility events. His views align more closely with right-wing ideologies and often provoke significant controversy.

Maja Staśko is a left-wing activist, feminist, and journalist renowned for her candid expression of views. Her outspoken nature often lands her on the front pages of major news websites.

Staśko recently posted a selfie on her Instagram story with the caption, "Psychotherapy is salvation," following other posts where she shared her personal experience with therapy. This prompted a response from Myślozbir, who holds a differing opinion on mental health care, sparking a new debate.

Waldemar Krysiak responded to Maja Staśko's comments by posting that "going to therapy is a substitute religion for feminists," once again stirring significant controversy. Many internet users criticised his stance, arguing that his views could cause substantial harm.

Critics expressed their concerns in the comments: "You’re spreading harmful nonsense. This is a very irresponsible post," one remarked. Another added, "You’ve gone too far. What you’ve written is damaging to those who need help. You can be religious and still go to therapy. It’s not mutually exclusive." A further comment stated, "And people wonder why men have such high suicide rates… Maybe you should stop mocking therapy. It’s like making fun of chemotherapy for cancer patients."

It's essential to emphasise that individuals taking care of their mental health through psychotherapy or medication should be supported in their efforts. Mental health issues, similarly to physical ailments, require serious attention. Encouraging people to seek professional help can provide critical support and solutions to some of their struggles.
