March 2018 News, events and support opportunities for trans people, including non-binary people, across Scotland. Well I think we would all agree this is no ordinary March… For many, and particularly those who are disabled, ill and/or older, it has been a challenging week tackling the weather conditions and I hope you are getting the support you need to stay safe and comfortable. The LGBT Helpline Scotland is available Tuesdays and Wednesdays 12-9pm on 0300 123 2523 should you need information or a friendly chat. Along with the wait for the snow to thaw, we also reflect this month on the hard work and efforts of those supporting the GRA Consultation and the journey towards Trans equality. March is a time to celebrate International Transgender Day of Visibility, Women’s History Month and International Women’s Day, as well as host Scotland’s first ever Trans Pride. Read all about Trans Pride Scotland in our news section! If you’re looking to meet new people, get connected and start new ventures this month, read on, click around and delve in.
