There should be no barriers that discourage and prevent Rainbow people, including trans, non-binary and intersex from participating and competing in sports. Sport is as much about wellbeing and community connection as it is competition.

@Ajkiwi @ErixLulu @sumich @MissDtheTeacher @mosborne01 @kool2korero @elsubash @TraceyTait1 @dan_dra_mus @moniqueh_82 This is what you showed us right?
Seems like the death knell for set and forget… even more reason for feedback checkpoints and authenticity kōrero?

2/2 I also know there are amazing people working to support our rangatahi. To those who are fearful, reach out - they’ve got you. I look forward to moving back shortly - to be part of the change and say with pride: ko takatāpui au, he takatāpui toa!

1/2:Mauao te rū nei taku ngākau.
Tauranga gave me so much growing up, but not an environment where I could be all of myself, all of the time - queer or Māori. It breaks my heart to see this cycle continue in various forms through the stories of racism, homophobia and transphobia

@FoxyLustyGrover Mt. Maunganui Library. It was my airplane, time machine, google, refuge. Growing up poor, it made me feel rich to walk out with a stack of new people and adventures to read about each week! Love these ugly brown bricks @wou1

Had an OIA request about our whānau uenuku? Happy to discuss this too. Ka pai tō mahi InsideOUT #takatāpui

[InsideOUT @insideoutkoaro]

For any schools seeking support in relation to responding to OIA requests around rainbow issues please email us at [email protected] and we’ll do our best to help. Thank you for your ongoing work to ensure our rainbow rangatahi are included at school! 🌈

@TraceyTait1 Kia ora e hoa! I can think of adult stories but not many young people. Can you DM your email and i can send through a few things :)

Really important thread. Why it is so important the new Ministry for Disabled People is led by disabled people.

Thinking a lot about lockdowns and equity lately - whipped up a lockdown privilege wheel. What is your experience?
