RCN LGBTQ+ Members

Representing LGBTQ+ members of @theRCN. Aiming to become an officially recognised RCN Forum 🏳️‍🌈 #RCNProud

[RCN LGBTQ+ Members @RCN_LGBTQ]

@CalvinMoorley @FeministRCN 100%. Media likes to paint BDSM communities as depraved/inherently wrong, & suggest it is tantamount to abuse, which just isn't true. They would rather blame a community of people they find "weird" for leading him astray, ignoring the community's commitment to informed consent…

[We Are NHS People 💙 @people_nhs]

Have you signed up for Pride in the NHS Week? A festival ticket gives you week-long access to our full programme, including a session on trans and non-binary workplace experiences and allyship, with @Tara_Hewitt and @swimthecove! https://t.co/xJUyZoMo3L #UndertheRainbow

[Mhairi Black 🏳️‍🌈 @MhairiBlack]

Over the last five years there has been an organised and concerted campaign mobilised against the trans community. My speech on Pride in 2021. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Sally Hines @sally_hines]

In 2 weeks the Gender Inclusive Network #GIN has gained almost 1,000 members. We have yet to get funding, build a website or hold a meeting. We are so many and we haven’t even begun. Watch this space.

@BeYourOwnRainb1 @RCN_inclusion Our FB Page is https://t.co/vkj97YTmJ0 and brand new shiny Group is here https://t.co/qEE7Mpyhgm — open to all LGBTQ members and allies in @theRCN!

[RCN LGBTQ+ Members @RCN_LGBTQ]

The aim of @RCN_LGBTQ is to create a Forum & safe space, led by & for LGBTQ+ members, enabling us to propose Congress items, nominate election candidates, & offer CPD events to all (inc allies).

If you agree this is important, please tell the RCN here! 👉🏻 https://t.co/apfeXbwldY

If anyone has been affected by the launch of the @OU_GCN at the @OpenUniversity, whether staff, students, prospective students or their families - and I know many of you have - you can
*Call Student Support on 0300 303 5303* and ask to speak to a Gender Identity Champion. #OUGCN

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Today, as we mark the beginning of #PrideMonth2021, we remember that the fight for LGBT+ rights isn't over.

Right now the Tories are trying to undermine Stonewall, as part of their targeting of trans rights.

We must stand with our trans siblings & resist this reactionary move.

[#HelloMyNameIs Katie RNMH @caffeinurse]

Shudder to think what Tories would consider ANTI-LGBT, if "celebrating" us = killing projects fighting LGBT bullying in schools, advocating for withdrawal from @stonewalluk Diversity Scheme & refusing asylum to LGBT people whose sexuality is illegal in their own country…

[RCN LGBTQ+ Members @RCN_LGBTQ]

What a brilliant response to a transphobic FOI request about the Stonewall #DiversityChampions programme!

[@mimmymum.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️✊🏻💕 @mimmymum]

I encourage anyone who works for a public body that’s a member of the @stonewalluk Champions scheme, to pass this letter to their management.

It’s a brilliant & justified response to transphobes vexatious FOI requests to try and discredit Stonewall!👏🏻

[RCN LGBTQ+ Members @RCN_LGBTQ]

Delighted to say that a productive meeting was had today with Wendy, our ever-brilliant E&D lead at the RCN. We are still waiting to be able to move forward with our Forum plans, but we have other exciting things up our sleeves!

[#HelloMyNameIs Katie RNMH @caffeinurse]

@JessLSainsbury @MannersOfMarple @KatieDutton17 @theRCN @RCNNRN Sadly my other questions re. Forums / Networks (and in particular, my efforts to create a @RCN_LGBT Forum) were not read out/answered… attached below to ensure transparency, as I've now spent 3yrs being kept in the dark 😔 #RCNAGM21

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Please RT if you agree nurses are completely and utterly awesome

[RCN LGBTQ+ Members @RCN_LGBTQ]

Apologies for the long period of silence, folx! It's been a hectic year or so! Many thanks to @SamIAm_UK for setting up this account, and for letting us take the reigns now. We're still pushing to create a Forum for LGBTQ+ members of the RCN and hope you'll join us along the way!

[LGBT Foundation @LGBTfdn]

Calling all LGBT carers 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

This is being held at LGBT Foundation on 17th December 6:00-7:30pm

If you would like to attend please email [email protected]

It's fair to say that this video about a mother accepting her #trans daughter has brought a tear to the eye of everyone who has watched it...

It's so important to hear stories like these - and we're delighted to share during #TransAwarenessWeek

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

This week is #TransWeek We’re proud to stand with trans people not just this week, but always. There’s a lot of misinformation out there - here's our Q&A to answer some of the most common questions we receive: https://t.co/1h9JOhgkCN #ComeOutForTransEquality #TransIsBeautiful

[Stonewall @stonewalluk]

1 in 5 LGBT people have been the victim of a hate crime or incident in the last year. Our laws need to be updated so that these hate crimes are treated the same as hate crimes based on faith and ethnicity. Sign our petition and #ComeOutVoting: https://t.co/4drOclN4oi

[Samantha 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇺🇸 @SamIAm_UK]

@RCN_inclusion @RCNLGBTQplus Sadly there seems to be something of a disconnect.

Interested in why RCN does not appear on any of Stonewall's diversity champion lists, I asked them ... a couple of days ago they responded as shown ... 🙁
