The Iberian Network of LGBTQ+ Sports Groups has made a strong statement against proposed โsex testingโ by World Athletics.
Saying such practice is not based on scientific evidence, and illegal in countries like Spain.

You could also contact your NGB & ask about their policy on trans inclusion & what they are doing about finding ways to involve trans people in your sport!
(A recent study in Scotland found that 39% of trans women wanted to go to the gym, but only 5% did so)
๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ
- Designate a match or training session to the campaign
- Educate your players & committee members about trans inclusion
- take photos with #trans flags & share across socials
- Contact us to make a bespoke graphic for your sport, we can include your club badge too

March 25 - 31 is the Football v Transphobia Week of Action, a time that we ask football to come together against transphobia & for trans inclusion in the game.
This year we are asking other sports to get involved!
There are a range of things your club can doโฆ

Hugh Torrance, Co-President of EGLSF signs the contract on behalf of the licensing organisation as his co-president and Pride Sports Cymru team look on
This weekend we signed the contract to bring #EuroGames 2027 to Cardiff!
Weโre up to 32 sports (possibly 35 by the time weโve finalised the programme).
Canโt wait to welcome more than 5,000 #LGBTQ+ athletes to our capital city in 2 years time ๐ฅณ๐๐ณ๏ธโโง๏ธ๐ณ๏ธโ๐
