“…Likewise, activism has long been evident in mental health in fighting stereotypes or stigma (Weinstein, ), and through gay, queer activism in struggles for HIV/AIDs resources, together with resistance to discriminatory attitudes and behaviours, stereotypes and healthcare practices (Somerville, ). More recent health‐related activism can be found in arguments for recognition of gender variant, diverse or nonbinary genders by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans, Intersex and Queer or Questioning (LGBTIQ) activists, with many scholars making visible the extent to which entrenched homophobia or transphobia exists in health care globally (Cooper, ; Harrell & Sasser, ; Zeeman et al, ).…”

“…These discourses inform everyday knowledge or practices and have real material effects in terms of interventions or treatments. Further feminist poststructural or queer activist analyses additionally showed how, in transgressing contemporary corporeal norms, these discursively constituted bodies produced those most subject to the material consequences of abjection, stigma, violence, discrimination or oppression (Harrell & Sasser, ).…”

The recent “turn to matter” evident in material feminist theories of the more‐than‐human world offers distinct posthuman understandings of the world as continuously relationally entangled, emergent or materializing. In this paper, I consider how these premises both trouble conventional understandings of matter and/or materials, but likewise potentially revise and revitalize understandings of the political for health and inequalities, and for nursing. This is both timely and much needed given contemporary contexts of austerity‐driven neoliberalism in health care and the unprecedented growth in disparities of wealth and well‐being. I wish to explore whether material feminisms allow us to retheorize connections between abstract theory and material concerns like health and inequalities, differently. This is not theory in opposition to practice or activism, but theory conceptualized as sets of entangled emergent practices, but also what constitutes the political, as more fully relational to and in praxis with health‐related activism. I will argue these theories further justify how practitioners can visibly care for and care more about social and health inequalities. Drawing mainly on the work of material feminist, Karen Barad, and her bringing together of queer and feminist theory, as well as feminist new materialisms and understandings of posthumanism, I discuss how this turn to matter together with meaning might transform understandings of health and inequalities.

“…By recognizing the risk factors, stigma, invisibility, and vulnerabilities these people face in their daily lives, health care providers can properly conduct health care in preventing depression and suicide (Lee et al, 2017;Merryfeather & Bruce, 2014). This will be made possible through greater education actions on sexuality and gender diversity in the health care context, as well as advocating for change in the health care model for these minorities to effectively promote the health of this population (Harrell & Sasser, 2018).…”
