  • Transgender Coming out Guide
    A coming out guide for trans young people Introduction 2 Green Light Project 4 What is Coming Out? 6 Support & Advice 8 Things to Think About 9 Coming Out Step by Step 10 Questions & Responses 12 Coming Out to Friends 14 to Family 16 to Partners 18 at School 19 at College/Uni 20 at Work 21 Relationships 22 Transphobia & Bullying 24 Advice for Family & Friends 26 Rights & Legislation 28 Definitions 32 Sex & Gender 36 Myths & Facts 38 Useful Links & Websites 40 2 3 We are continually given messages throughout our lives about what it means to be a girl or boy, woman or man. Families, friends, teachers, adverts and magazines tell us that we are supposed to look, dress, behave and feel a certain way just because we are biologically male or female. In reality, though, people look, act and feel both masculine and feminine to varying degrees regardless of their physical body. Very rarely are we told that how we feel inside might be different to how we look on the outside. As a result, most people who feel like this, grow up feeling worried, ashamed, scared or just somehow different. Transgender people are people whose gender identity – who they are internally or their ‘innate’ gender – is different to their physical body or the gender they were assigned at birth. The term transgender, however, describes a whole range of people and takes many forms from cross-dressers to transsexuals to people who reject male and female genders altogether. This guide has been written by transgender young people, who have drawn on their own personal experiences to make the process of coming out as a trans young person easier for others.

  • Aspects Ofscottish Lesbian and Gay Activism, 1968 to 1992
    THON WEY Aspects ofScottish lesbian and gay activism, 1968 to 1992 By Brian Dempsey Abstract The following paper charts the political campaign history of Scottish Lesbian and Gay activists over approximately two decades. It pays particular reference to organisations such as the Scottish Minorities Group (1969-78) and its successor, the Scottish Homosexual Rights Group (1978-92). These self­ organised Lesbian and Gay groups - which continue today as Outright Scotland - represented an unusual, and often anomalous, continuity as they frequently worked alongside rather more short-lived groups. Material fTom the Outright archives, SMG/SHRG publications and interviews with activists will be utilised to illustrate the changing aims and tactics of these groups over the period under consideration.

    An Assessment of Scottish Civil Society (2006) A STRONG VALUE-DRIVEN BUT FRAGMENTED CIVIL SOCIETY IS GAINING CONFIDENCE IN A POST-DEVOLUTION SCOTLAND CIVICUS CIVIL SOCIETY INDEX REPORT FOR SCOTLAND Ruchir Shah Edinburgh 2006 Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations (SCVO) CIVICUS Civil Society Index An international action-research project coordinated by CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation 1 FOREWORD This report, on civil society in contemporary Scotland, stands within a remarkable history of critical self-reflection on civic life. In 1767 the Scottish Enlightenment thinker Adam Ferguson published An Essay on the History of Civil Society which offered far-sighted comment on the impact of a rising commercial economy on traditional societies like Scotland. Pioneering social surveys like the Statistical Accounts of Scotland in the late 18th and early 19th centuries also mapped the ways in which Scottish civic institutions were responding to industrialization. And now, as Scotland becomes part of a global economy, this latest Assessment of Scottish Civil Society brings that long line of civic analysis into the 21st century. It presents evidence of a strong civil society rooted in shared values. This has led to the growing solidarity and confident campaigning of Scottish civic networks in the common cause of human and environmental flourishing. But the report also speaks honestly of the weaknesses of Scottish civic institutions in their dependence on state funding and variable openness to all social backgrounds. It is significant that this report is part of a world-wide comparative study. I welcome it and commend it for making an informed Scottish contribution to one of the great endeavours of our time, the emergence of a truly global civil society.

  • Locked Out, Locked In: Young People, Adulthood and Desistance from Crime Briege Nugent Brown Phd the University of Edinburgh 20
    Locked out, locked in: Young people, adulthood and desistance from crime Briege Nugent Brown PhD The University of Edinburgh 2017 DECLARATION OF ORIGINAL WORK I hereby confirm that I have composed this thesis and that this thesis is all my own work. I also declare that this work has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. Signed __________________________on _________________________. ii iii ABSTRACT This thesis presents findings from a longitudinal study of young people living in poverty providing a unique insight into their lives. The research set out to explore three themes, namely how young people end contact successfully (or not) from support, their experiences of the ‘transition to adulthood’ and also what triggered, helped and hindered those who were trying to desist from offending. It was revealed that a small number never left Includem’s Transitional Support, a unique service set up in Scotland providing emotional and practical help for vulnerable young people in this age group. For those who did leave, many had limited to no other support in their lives and were reluctant to ask for help again even when they were in real need. They were all acutely aware of their precarious situation. ‘Adulthood’ denoted certainty for them and was not viewed as a feasible destination. Members of the group dealt with this differently. Almost all retained hope of achieving their goals and in doing so suffered a form of ‘cruel optimism’, conversely, a smaller number scaled back on their aspirations, sometimes even to the extent of focusing on their immediate day to day survival.

  • Glasgow LGBT History Walk
    Glasgow LGBT History Walk This walk was devised by OurStory Scotland in 2014 at the time of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The walk was led on 29 July by Donald Gray, Criz McCormick and Margaret Hamilton, and had input from many others, notably Tommy Clarke, Amy Murphy and Jeff Meek. In 2008, for the OurSpace exhibition at the Kelvingrove, the first LGBT exhibition at a major Scottish museum, OurStory Scotland created the OurSpace Map, mapping the past through places important to the LGBT community. Jeff Meek has created several LGBT Historical Maps of Scotland including an interactive Glasgow LGBT Historical Map that plots queer spaces and places that can be included along the way, or as detours from the route. The point of the History Walk is not to act as a guide to places that operate now, but to record a heritage of past places that have been significant for our community. This is a circular walk that can begin anywhere on the route, and of course can be walked in part or over several occasions. There is an extended loop out to the Mitchell Library. From there a diversion could be added to the Kelvingrove, site of the OurSpace exhibition in 2008. Another extended loop takes in the Citizens Theatre, People’s Palace and Glasgow Women’s Library. The extended loops can be omitted from a shorter central walk, or undertaken as separate walks. In July 2014, at the time of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, the walk started and finished at Pride House. Route of the Glasgow LGBT History Walk 14 Albion Street Pride House for the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
