“We’ve had the Me Too movement, which rightly and accurately called out men’s violence against women. We had equal marriage. We had Black Lives Matter. A lot of what we’re seeing now culturally is the last-gasp backlash to that progress.”
📰 Our long-read interview in @scotnational.bsky.social
“We’re seeing LGBT topics and education initiatives like ours being weaponised and misrepresented to distract from decades of consecutive economic failure that have made people’s lives harder.”
📰 Our long-read interview in @scotnational.bsky.social
“There seems to be a culture just now that has shifted back in time, when it’s cool to be cruel again. The rise of the so-called “manosphere” online and normalisation of hate has had an impact on young people.”
📰 Our long-read interview in @scotnational.bsky.social
“Our campaign led to Scotland becoming the first country in the world to agree to integrate LGBT themes – including diverse families, anti-bullying, history, and rights – across the school curriculum.”
🎆 Read about our tenth anniversary and how we have recognised the occasion:
“We can see the effect of dangerous and false narratives that children are being 'groomed' at school or encouraged to transition by 'woke' teachers, and it is very rooted in conspiratorial language which ultimately attempts to disrupt trust in educational institutions and uses LGBT people to do it.”

It includes exclusive interviews with the founders of the campaign, as well as TIE patron Susie McCabe, and much more.

“When I speak to other parents and carers across the country, both in my personal life and through this work, I hear overwhelming support for this kind of common sense education, and recent polling reflects that too.”

“I pay tribute to those teachers and LGBT staff working in our schools today; to the allies working to make a difference and to the next generation who – I know – will never allow us to return to the dark days of Section 28.”
✍️ Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, Jenny Gilruth.
“Shortly after that day, where I cried on the way home to my mum, not out of sadness, but a then elusive thing I can now name as hope, I made a decision. I came out.”
✍️ Gemma was S1 when we worked with her school. Years later, she writes about the impact for The Herald @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social
“Darek Ciszek, a Social Science and Comparative Education researcher at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) has been studying the development and impact of LGBT-inclusive education in Scottish schools.”

“As I was starting to see us lurch to the right. I was seeing things and hearing things that I would have seen and heard in the 1980s.”

‘The Lass and The Quine’ by Ashley Douglas flipped the traditional fairy tale with a love story between a girl and a princess “whae are awfie different in ivery wey”
📖 A tale first told in our Scots Poetry Collection for primary schools, it’s now expanded into an illustrated storybook for children.

The EIS’s overarching position is the principle that all young people have the right to learn, and teachers and lecturers have the right to work, in an educational environment that is free from discrimination, where the rights of all are equally upheld.

The state of the newspapers this morning: a near-universal attack on trans people, most of it grossly exaggerating the implication of yesterday's ruling. Almost joyous in its spite.

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️⚧️

Graphic with a purple background. It reads: "We are really shocked by today's Supreme Court decision- which reverses twenty years of understanding on how the law recognises trans men and women with Gender Recognition Certificates. The judgement seems to have totally missed what matters to trans people- - that we are able to live our lives, and be recognised, in line with who we truly are. We will continue working for a world in which trans people can get on with our lives with privacy, dignity and safety. That is something that we all deserve.". The Scottish Trans and Equality Network logos are in the bottom right.
Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today.
There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath.

We know today may feel especially heavy for our trans and non-binary siblings.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or affected by the UK Supreme Court’s decision, please know you’re not alone. We’re here for you every day from 10am to 10pm.

We are devastated that Christina McKelvie has passed. Christina was a remarkable woman: a force of nature, compassionate, and incredibly warm. We shared many values with her and know how committed Christina was to social justice, equality, and to doing everything she could to make Scotland the best it could be. In doing so, she was the best of us. Christina was a formidable Member of the Scottish Parliament and one of the earliest supporters of our work. She played a pivotal role in ensuring that Scotland became the first country in the world to advance LGBT Inclusive Education. We will cherish the memories that we were privileged to create with her. Our thoughts are with Keith, Jack, Lewis and all who knew and loved her. We will miss you, Christina. - Jordan & Liam, Directors and Co-Founders of Time for Inclusive Education (TIE)

“The pupils we worked with were worried about the "normalisation" and "minimisation" of online hate, where harmful content is reduced to jokes or trolling.”

Graphic with Puprle and Blue Gradient background. It reads: Most people aren’t trans, but some people in fact are. Trans people need to be able to recover on hospital wards, use toilets, access cancer screenings, receive support after experiencing sexual violence, go swimming, try on new clothes… just like anyone else. For many years, not enough people recognised this, and trans people faced real and significant harm because of that. Let’s not go back to those times.' The Scottish Trans logo is in the bottom right corner.
Let’s not go back to a time where trans people could not go to work safely, use services that met our needs, or use public spaces freely.
