Support for trans+ participation

Many trans+ students will be feeling uneasy and unsure of their welcome within HE Sport. Our gender eligibility spreadsheet highlights those sports that allow trans+ participation in their gender - this is visible in the far right column.

Gender-Neutral Facility Mapping

Using facilities at institutions that are not your own can be stressful if you are LGBTQ+.

BUCS would like to collect maps of institution’s with clearly labelled gender-neutral toilets/facilities that any student can access.
