With the relentless attacks on the trans community in the media, we need our allies more than ever. Thank you for speaking up and challenging transphobia, and showing the world that you are a #TransAlly ❤️

Today is #TransDayOfVisibility! It's a day to celebrate and empower trans and gender diverse people. You are valuable and loved. When we spend so much time fighting for our basic rights, it's worth taking a moment to reflect on how amazing our communities are. ❤️

We're looking for Edinburgh teachers to join us and our friends @edfringe in discovering and discussing a range of live performances this year. Together we've launched the new Teachers' Theatre Club - like a book club... but for performance. bit.ly/2HBWJWX

Currently, #trans people under 18 can't have their gender legally recognised. Human rights law says children & young people should not be denied rights due to their age alone. Visit equalrecognition.scot/consul… before March 1st to find out how you can support #equalrecognition

Currently, #nonbinary people have no legal recognition of who we are, unlike some of our #trans brothers & sisters. Visit tinyurl.com/GRAConsult before March 1st to call for #equalrecognition of all #trans including #nonbinary people. For more info visit equalrecognition.scot/consul…

There’s 1 WEEK left of public consultation on new laws that will help #trans inc #nonbinary people, with more support for children and young people. I’ve seen some scare-mongering around this but these new measures do no harm to anyone else. #TransRightsAreHumanRights x.com/scottishtrans/status/9…

Want to support all #trans including #nonbinary people to be recognised as who we are? You're in luck! You have 1 WEEK to go to tinyurl.com/GRAconsult and do just that. Want to learn more about what #equalrecognition for all trans people looks like? Visit equalrecognition.scot/consul…

Didn't realize this moment was being filmed yesterday but I'm so happy that it was. My childhood self would never have dreamed of seeing a gay kiss on TV at the Olympics but for the first time ever a kid watching at home CAN! Love is love is love.

Anyone wondering about why we need more open, direct and truthful information for children about being “different” (in terms of gender identity, sexuality, disability) should see Nanette by @Hannahgadsby Currently on @sohotheatre

It's extremely disturbing that anti-trans campaign Transgender Trend has published new guidance for schools under the guise of being trans inclusive. Please make people aware that this is not trans inclusive guidance and could harm young people: transgendertrend.com/

A great bursary for an artist to engage with gender in their work - all in the name of wonderful gender explorer, Diane Torr x.com/tmsomewhere/status/963…

New show from @CahootsNI and @birminghamrep looks really great. There’s already a few picture books about Silo and Roy, the New York gay penguins who adopted an egg. Now dance. Can’t wait to see @Young_at_Art Belfast. #LGBTQI #RainbowFamily x.com/simonharperpr/status/9…

Absolutely blown away by @CahootsNI @BirminghamRep #Penguins this afternoon. It totally captivated the very young audience (and oldies too). A glorious introduction to #theatre, #dance, #music & #design. Perfectly cast & performed. BRAVO! cahootsni.com/shows/penguins…
