At Glasgow Roller Derby, we are proud to reaffirm our commitment to trans inclusion. We believe in fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for all athletes, regardless of gender identity. Our league stands united in promoting equality, respect, and acceptance within our sport and community.
We align with the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) gender policy, which supports the inclusion of transgender, nonbinary, and gender-expansive participants. By adhering to these guidelines, we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate and thrive in roller derby.
We stand in solidarity with the trans community, celebrating diversity and championing the rights of all individuals to be their authentic selves. Glasgow Roller Derby remains dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive space for everyone, without fear or discrimination.
We strongly disagree with the recent decision by the UK Supreme Court. This decision undermines the identity and rights of transgender individuals, and we stand firmly against it.
We are in solidarity with our trans and non-binary community and call on our supporters to join us in standing up for trans rights.
We urge anyone affected by the Supreme Court decision to reach out for support to:
