Football Vs Transphobia x Proud Swans
"In celebration of Football v Transphobia week, we contacted Samantha Walker, FA Women's National Football League Footballer and Inclusion Advocate, to ask her some of her thoughts about Football and the Trans Community, she was kind enough to send us some of her thoughts." - Swansea City LGBT+ Fan Group (Proud Swans)
FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME: 100 defiant years of women's football
An event held with London's inclusive women's team - Goaldiggers FC, in association with the national football museum and FootballVsHomophobia, to celebrate the launch of a very special kit.
This kit, designed for Goal Diggers FC by Lily Rose Grant, shines a light on the history of the women’s game. It is a history shaped by the strength of those who were determined to play the sport they loved – even when their own governing body tried to prevent them.
In 1921, the FA banned women from football for 50 years, erasing the women’s game. This kit celebrates the footballers who fought to play the sport they loved and the strength of those still fighting.
LGBTQ+ History Month: The history of gender in sport.

Panellists:
Cheryl Morgan (chair)

Is football currently a safe & welcoming environment for transgender people?
The Proud Valiants, Charlton Athletic's LGBTQI+ supporters group, host an interactive panel event exploring the challenges facing trans participation in football. Diversity is an increasingly important item on the football agenda, but trans participation and awareness remain low - what are the issues and what should be done about them? Join us for an engaging evening to hear a range of opinions and real-life experiences as we explore these questions.
Our panel participants come from a variety of backgrounds - including both trans people in football and allies - who are keen to share their stories and ideas as well as take questions from the audience.
