A thread not focussed on performance athletes, or abstract notions of what might be happening to other people. Instead a thread about how we can encourage and include people in whatever exercise they are interested in and removing barriers to participation. We would love to see positivity, but that does not preclude discussing negative experiences or concerns. Just that we would like to see positive solutions to those things. If you have other concerns, we would suggest finding/making another thread. We will post a bit more on here going forwards. But for now, just putting the thread up to be found in the future.

What a great idea. I hope this can be a truly supportive and friendly, safe space to discuss issues that arise for those that need it. Thanks CotH. |

Good idea. I know this thread came about because of some negative posts on the original discussion on the Transgender Athletes thread, but I also saw many supportive and friendly comments there, along with genuine interest in working out some of the concerns too. I hope those supportive commenters represent the vast majority of contributors to our forum, and that this thread will flourish as a result. Finding a way forward is an unenviable task. But I'd like to think that if the starting point comes from common understanding and respect; and if the focus is on building on those foundations, then success lies ahead. I hope there are several people who will vouch for me when I say that I am always willing to work on making our site better for all - so if anyone wants to make any suggestions on how we can improve our representation of gender, the feedback inbox is always open.

Thank you coth. The previous thread went off the rails at various points and in the end I needed to walk away from it, but as well as the aggro there was a lot of support for transgender people on there and a desire to learn about the issues faced by transgender people. I can only second Rosa's comment |

Also grateful for this thread - don't know how much I will be able to contribute but I'm pleased to see the previous one confined to history and look forward to learning.
