#NationalComingOutDay remember your journey is your own. Coming out is a constant journey and not a once in a lifetime announcement.

Make sure it is safe for you to do so and remember you are loved. I came out as a lesbian and as a trans gay man. I have never been happier than being myself.

Let's start a ripple effect and get the talking going, let's make it acceptable to reach out and say when we are not ok.

It’s OK to talk!

Ask people how you can help.

Keep an eye on friends with mental health issues, they may be really struggling and could be desperate for someone to open up to.

World Athletics’ mandatory genetic test for women athletes is misguided. I should know – I discovered the relevant gene in 1990 World Athletics says its genetic test for women ensures ‘the integrity of women’s sport’ – but science does not support this overly simplistic idea.

There Is No Evidence For Banning Trans Women From Sports Dozens of bills seeking to ban trans female athletes from school sports are under consideration nationwide. Not one is backed by science.

Transgender Ban - Solution to a Problem that Does Not Exist? - ABC listen Swimming's blanket ban on transgender women competing in international women's events is the polar opposite of the International Olympic Committee's framework suggesting inclusion first and review on ...

If you are a trans athlete in the 🇬🇧, you are blanketly excluded from sport thanks to transphobia.
