Why does writing this feel like writing a tinder bio? I care about many things including social justice, LGBTIQ+ rights, football (mainly AVFC and Hibs), Taylor Swift and everything in between. Policy Manager at LEAP Sports - views my own though!

A message for our community 🏳️‍⚧️
Graphic with blue background and light writing that spells out: Today is a challenging day for trans and non-binary people and our wider LGBTIQ+ community, and we share the widespread concern following the Supreme Court ruling. While we work to understand the legal details, our groups, programmes and services remain available. We continue to be steadfast in our mission to ensure that trans and non-binary can access, participate, excel and enjoy sport and physical activity. We will now take the time to work with partners in the LGBTIQ+ sector, as well as with the sports sector, to understand the ruling before we communicate further.

Let’s not go back to a time where trans people could not go to work safely, use services that met our needs, or use public spaces freely.

Read our thoughts: www.scottishtrans.org/responding-t...
Graphic with Puprle and Blue Gradient background. It reads: Most people aren’t trans, but some people in fact are. Trans people need to be able to recover on hospital wards, use toilets, access cancer screenings, receive support after experiencing sexual violence, go swimming, try on new clothes… just like anyone else. For many years, not enough people recognised this, and trans people faced real and significant harm because of that.  Let’s not go back to those times.' The Scottish Trans logo is in the bottom right corner.

Conversion practices breach human rights and have no place in Scotland. That is why this Valentine's Day we are showing our support for a Bill in Scotland to end these practices to protect LGBTQA+ people from harm.

A broken valentines heart on a red and black background. The text on the graphic reads: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Do what you're told, And don't be you." The text continues below the broken heart: "LGBT+ Conversion Practices are abuse". The Equality Network logo is at the right bottom corner. Opposite there's a link to more info on Equality Network website.

A year ago our lives changed forever and Taylor announced TS11 The Tortured Poets Department - it really has been like an endless February!

“You’d be crazy to ignore Taylor Swift..even if the record is one of her weaker efforts” What are you even on about? TTPD is clearly an incredible album.

Also, why do we have to face off two amazing women with each other? There’s no beef!

Join Football v Homophobia in calling for the the FA to continue to include trans women in the game.

Remember, in the Nations, policy decisions made in England tend to heavily influence any changes!

It's now 3 weeks since we gathered the Scottish sport sector for our Moving to LGBTIQ+ Inclusion conference in Stirling and safe to say we are still buzzing!

Big thanks to all speakers and contributors & especially a big thank you to LGBTIQ+ community members who shared their stories

First picture is hockey in front of a rainbow flag, the second picture is people curling, the third picture is two people stand up paddleboarding. There are two logos in the picture - a LEAP Sports Logo and an Equality and Human Rights logo.
