Participation

There are various opportunities available to participate in the Scottish Transgender Alliance’s work to promote transgender inclusion, equality and rights across Scotland.

Current Participation Opportunities

STA Website and Newsletter Content Creators: The Scottish Transgender Alliance needs transgender people and allies to help create new content to expand this website and create a new Scottish transgender community newsletter. If you are interested in writing a film, book or event review or an article about your experience as a trans person living in Scotland or about transgender rights and equality good practice, please contact us.

STA Regional Contacts:  The Scottish Transgender Alliance needs transgender people from all across Scotland to get involved and tell us about any problems they experience with service providers or employers so that we can build up evidence of the kinds of transphobic discrimination still occurring across Scotland.   We also need transgender people to tell us about any particularly good experiences they have with service providers or employers in Scotland so that we can showcase positive examples of the organisations who are working hard to support transgender people.

In some areas of Scotland there are long-standing transgender support groups running and it is relatively easy to find out how public services such as the National Health Service and Local Councils are treating transgender people.  However, in other parts of Scotland there are no local support groups currently running and it is very difficult to find out how transgender people are being treated by their local public services.

We need more transgender individuals from across Scotland to volunteer to let the Scottish Transgender Alliance know what is happening in their local areas.  In return, the Scottish Transgender Alliance can provide transgender activist regional contacts with some training and resources to help support their involvement in local equality consultations and to assist them to develop small local transgender groups.
