News, events and support opportunities for trans people, including non-binary people across Scotland. You don’t need a special press pass to review this month’s e-bulletin, and no audience participation unless it’s on your terms! Welcome to our August edition of T Monthly! It’s a busy time across both cities, but particularly in Edinburgh as we watch the population rise and suitcases roll!

We have also highlighted some fantastic trans-themed shows in our Community News section below, including 147Hz Can’t Pass, “An introduction through person, not definition, to trans non-binary experience, 2018.” and LGBT theatre adaptation, Ganymede. If you’re trans and in or near Glasgow, don’t miss out on this year’s Glasgow Transition Support Course, giving you some dedicated, supported time to explore how you’re feeling about your gender and next steps.
