In our second highlight reel, we will be showing clips of some of our favourite moments in the last four talks from the first day of our Transforming Spaces Conference that we will be publishing. The full talks will be released weekly so make sure to check them out as they pop up.
This episode touches on the topics of sports, pregnancy, prisons, and making change.
We are running a project on trans inclusion in sport: we aim for sport / physical activity organisations to become more knowledgeable and more confident in their ability to create and implement realistic, everyday trans inclusive practices. Alongside this, we aim to encourage trans people themselves to take up, or return to, physical activity and sport and all the benefits that can bring.
If you are trans/non-binary and aged 16 or over, we would love to hear about your experiences and opinions about sport and physical activity! We have a survey open until May 31st 2019, so please do follow the link and let us hear you: http://genderedintelligence.co.uk/project/trans-inclusion-in-sport
Unfortunately we won’t have a conference in 2019, but keep an ear open for the 2020 conference!
Gendered Intelligence is a charity that works to increase understandings of gender diversity and improve the lives of trans people.
Our goal is of a world where people are no longer constrained by narrow perceptions and expectations of gender, and where diverse gender expressions are visible and valued.
