I really welcome and appreciate thorough, positive discussion, even if it is battling through the negativity

I don't post too often on social media platforms any more, but I had to share this episode of It Could Happen Here with my network. As someone who works empowering trans and queer people to participate in sport as a full time job here in Australia (@proud2play.org.au)

Sex is Dynamic!

Got an amazing pilot project funded via VicHealth to help Rainbow Families build healthy relationships with physical activity and sport. I wrote this one from scratch, and it’ll run over 12 months from mid 2025. Very proud of my baby.

Today, we’re reminded that HIV still matters.

By wearing a red ribbon, you can help break down stigma, support people living with HIV, and honour those we’ve lost.

Trans Health Research and collaborators recently conducted a national survey to learn more about the experiences of trans and gender diverse people in sport and fitness.

This research shows that 1 in 3 trans people regularly participate in sport/fitness, compared to 70%+ of the general population.

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Gender-based violence affects women, trans, & gender-diverse people in sport. Sport can drive change by challenging toxic norms & creating inclusive spaces. Let’s make sport safe for everyone. #16DaysOfActivism #NoExcuse
