ALT Liverpool Trans Day of Visibility 2024 TDOV24 Museum Stalls & Talks This year, the usual information stalls and talks won't be taking place during TDOV weekend at Museum of Liverpool, but will be rearranged for a later date. National Museums Liverpool (NML) and LCR Pride Foundation are committed to bringing this important event together with community organisations, but unfortunately the current industrial action affecting NML would have an impact on its delivery.

ALT Liverpool Trans Day of Visibility 2024 TDOV Stalls and Talks Postponing until later in the year means that we can get the most out of the event and create a better opportunity to mark the importance of TDOV. Spirit Level's Art Therapy workshop, will still take place at the museum on Friday 29th. Museum of Liverpool remains a safe place for all members of the community over the weekend.

ALT The Government is currently consulting on new trans guidance for schools and colleges in England. We believe that schools should be supportive and encourage young people to be their authentic selves. However, if passed in its current form, this guidance could endanger trans students and potentially deny their existence.

ALT At this time, the guidance does not appear to include advice on how to encourage support and respect for trans students. Instead, the guidance appears to discourage young trans people from socially transitioning and expressing their identities in school settings. Teachers may also be instructed to ‘out’ trans students to their parents without consent, which could put students in an unsafe position.

ALT 64% of trans and non-binary students are bullied in schools, leading to high dropout rates. There are concerns that the proposed guidance will only worsen this statistic. There is a chance to have your say and influence this guidance by sharing your views in the public consultation, which is running until Tuesday 12 March 2024. You can find a link to this consultation in the comments.

ALT Consultations can be confusing, and the questions often make it difficult for people to give clear feedback on the guidance. Our friends at LGBT Foundation are organising consultation response sessions to explain the guidance. With the help of experts, they can help you answer any questions in the consultation. Information about these sessions are also linked in the comments.
