News, events and support opportunities for trans people, including non-binary people, across Scotland. A warm welcome to our final edition of T Monthly, for 2017. The winter is upon us and whilst the outdoors get colder, we have a selection-box of events to tell you about this month. This time of year can be a tough time for some, and the festivities can be overwhelming. So whilst you may find yourself feeling less inclined to venture out and about, have a read of the various welcoming spaces and supports available across the festive period, as a reminder that you’re not alone. Trans Day of Remembrance 2017 Thank you to all our contributors and attendees at our Trans Remembrance events in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. The gatherings were a poignant reminder of the strength and care that forms the pillars of our communities here in Scotland. We thought about those across the world who are not so supported, those still facing immense prejudice and challenge, and those we have lost from our own community. A special thanks to Jo Clifford, S for the wonderful visuals, and all our T timers for the lovely readings at our ceremony. Coming up for 2018! You’ve told us what you’d like to see happening in our workshops and social spaces and so we’re now excited to give you a flavour of what’s to come across Glasgow and Edinburgh, from January through until March 2018… We’ll include all the further details and links in our January edition: Transition Support Course (Edinburgh); Gender Recognition Reform Consultation; LGBT Swimming; Rainbow Families Ceilidh; Trans Pride Social; Nonbinary Night (now monthly in Glasgow); Headucation: hair & makeup workshop and much, much more… Meanwhile, if you fancy some company over the Christmas break, our LGBT Helpline will be open on the following dates: Tues 26th & Weds 27th Dec, 6-9pm, Tues 2nd & Weds 3rd January, 12-9pm on 0300 123 2523.
