Started my new role with training on digital discourse from @tie.scot and being neuro-affirmative with @glasgoweps.bsky.social. On Thurs children were back — I played in the sand, with playdoh, joined Bookbug, and began getting to know pupils and staff. A joyful start! Looking forward to next week💫

Thank you @tie.scot for delivering Stage 2 LGBT Training to our music service today. It provoked some inspiring and supportive conversations. We also look forward to completing the Digital Discourse Initiative after such a great insight from Jordan yesterday. @edisglasgow.bsky.social

“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

“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:

“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.” 📰 Read our feature interview with @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social in The Herald

“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.”

“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.” 🎥 Watch Susie McCabe’s exclusive interview with @jamesmcenaney.bsky.social about LGBT Inclusive Education, the current climate, and growing up under Section 28.

'They helped ensure that Scotland became the first country in the world to begin embedding LGBT-inclusive material into the core curriculum for schools – work that has drawn international recognition, and which is credited not just with changing lives, but also saving them' 👇

🏳️‍🌈 Ten years of TIE 🏳️‍🌈 Today the Herald on Sunday is running a special package about the fight for LGBT-inclusive education in schools. It includes exclusive interviews with the founders of the campaign, as well as TIE patron Susie McCabe, and much more. www.heraldscotland.com/news/educati...

Talking to @susiemccabecomedy.bsky.social about her experiences of education, the discrimination that LGBT people still face, and her decision to become a patron of @tie.scot was really interesting, and we've decided to release the full interview here: www.heraldscotland.com/news/2532464...

“Inclusive education is not about being “woke” or meeting diversity targets or indoctrinating children. It’s about making sure that the next generation grows up knowing that being LGBT isn’t shameful or controversial, it’s a human experience like any other.” ✍️ Kelly Given @scotnational.bsky.social

We were honoured to attend @tie.scot's 10-year anniversary, celebrating all the amazing work they have done and continue to do. It was an emotional and inspiring night that left us reflecting on the importance of LGBT inclusive education in the current political climate.

Inspiring stuff at the @tie.scot 10-year anniversary last night; not least, from former First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, who delivered a fabulous speech, celebrating the work of TIE and giving her full-throated support to all minority groups. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

Honoured to be amongst the guests at the @tie.scot 10-year anniversary last night. A perfect moment to reflect on and acknowledge the fantastic work they have done; but also to recognise that there is much still to do, especially in the current climate. #TransRightsAreHumanRights
