This is so horrific. Brianna’s family have lost their daughter which is unimaginably excruciating & it’s yet another tragedy for the trans community. The transphobic media, politicians, & people like Kellie Jay Keen & JK Rowling, you have blood on your hands! Is this what you wanted? You have relentlessly attacked trans people, stigmatised us, lied about us. You have deliberately conflated trans existence with perversion & violence. You are fucking scum…WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO HAPPEN???!!! Even the coverage this tragedy has garnered is problematic in its own way; so many trans folks with intersectional identities, who are part of other marginalised communities have been murdered & it’s been met with silence but that’s par for the course with our trash, transphobic British press. If you’re cisgender, it is not enough to quietly disagree with transphobia, it’s not enough to be a trans ally in a room full of trans people. Like with racism, you have to actively be anti-transphobic & if you’re not, this is also on you! @rishisunakmp your party are causing trans deaths. @keirstarmer what are the Labour Party doing to combat transphobia? NOTHING. You told your MPs to abstain on the s35 vote. You are a coward! Solidarity & love to my fellow trans folk. We will survive this. We will endure. And, eventually we will thrive in every single facet of society! They will not stop us 🏳️‍⚧️💖 #RIPBriannaGhey #TransphobiaIsViolence #CisPeopleStandUpAndBeCounted https://www.instagram.com/p/ColNoSQor47/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

So, so sad that this guy is leaving Leeds United. An integral player under Bielsa, he bossed the midfield whenever he played. Not only that he was a legend on & off the pitch, he was one of the fans own! Klichousery will be sorely missed at Elland Rd. You will always be a legend at Leeds. Good luck with your next move, you will have Leeds fans’ support wherever you go!

I love these human beings so much! They have, without knowing, taught me to love myself in ways I did not think were possible. Huge shout out to those that aren’t in this pic, there are a lot of you and you know who you are! #Family https://www.instagram.com/p/CmStDglIlMd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Saw this really cool shop in Neal Street today! Some of the stuff in there was stunning & it supports Black owned businesses - check it out… @myrunwaygroup (at Neal Street, Covent Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl7OX2LDyDP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Had the best time at the Emirates tonight watching Arsenal v Juventus with my people; awesome humans from the @stonewall.fc Women & Non Binary Team! It was a classic ‘1-0 to the Arsenal’ win! I loved being so close to the action & watching pro players from this vantage point. It really gave a more accurate reflection of the speed of play and showed the incredible technique of the players, & the way the team moved as a unit. It was so different vs being higher up. I’m absolutely buzzing that I got to see @viviannemiedema bang one in too!!! 🙌🏻⚪️🔴💖 #1NilToTheArsenal #UWCL #GirlsLikeFootballToo #MiedemaIsTheGOAT🐐 (at The Emirates Stadium.

This abhorrent image shows Qatari officials stopping a live broadcast with an Argentinian disabled person. People have flagged double standards on how the Qatar World Cup is being judged Vs. say Russia or Brazil; whilst the latter also were incredibly problematic, each should be judged independently & not compared of against another, as some form of exemption or lessening of their atrocities. Human rights in Qatar are appalling. THAT 👏🏻 IS 👏🏻 A 👏🏻 FACT 👏🏻 Those from already marginalised communities are treated as sub-human. It’s widely reported that the death toll of migrant workers building Qatari stadiums hit 6,500. The number reported by Qatari officials is 34. If there is not an issue or anything nefarious, why is there such a tremendous discrepancy in these numbers. Being part of the LGBTQ+ community is illegal with prison time & even death as punishment. And despite it being reported to be the most accessible World Cup ever, this image/scenario shows how disabled people are really treated. Anyone telling others to suck it up, stop bringing politics into football, or ‘respect their culture’ needs to, politely… STFU. DISCRIMINATION IS NOT CULTURE. #FootballShouldBeForEveryone #FIFAcorruption #HumanRightsViolations #SportsWashing https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYzU4loevh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, advocate and speaker for inclusion in football; Infantino’s comments are incredibly problematic and offensive: To essentially moan that people shouldn’t call out the atrocious treatment of LGBTQ+ people in Qatar (where this is illegal and punishable by prison time or even death) he is dehumanising the community. He is not referencing a financial policy or a random political decision but the overt persecution of an already marginalised community, for simply existing. FIFA/Infantino should apologise for these comments. This shows there is still so much work to do for the beautiful game to truly live up to the slogan that’s banded around “Football is for everyone” #FIFA #Infatino #WorldCup #LGBTQ #IsFootballisForEveryone #FootballShouldBeForEveryone #HumanRights #Qatar #InclusionMatters https://www.instagram.com/p/Cki9mrUDjpd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What an amazing Saturday! I played my first 11-a-side game for @stonewall.fc with these wonderful human beings & we ended up winning 5️⃣-3️⃣ It was a brilliant match against @goaldiggers_fc who were fantastic and unlucky to be on the wrong side of the result! Such a brilliant advert for women & non-binary football & I’m sure everyone involved would agree it was great to play 11’s out on the grass! #WomenAndNonBinaryFootball #GirlsLikeFootballToo #TheysNThemsLikeFootballToo #Ballers (at Hackney Marshes) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cjgy8GMo8NO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

*REID TERMINATES CONTRACT WITH CHARLTON INVICTA* We’ve received reports that within the last hour Naomi Reid has terminated her contract with @cactinvictafc by mutual consent. The midfielder had been with the club for the past 3 seasons and is now available on a free transfer. There’s a rumour that she’s been training with @stonewall.fc ‘s Women & Non-Binary team. Could this lead to a permanent transfer?! We will talk to Darmesh at 7pm for all the latest transfer news and speculation. Exciting times. Stick with us here on Sky Sports News as we follow this one closely to see how events unfold ahead of the new season. #SkySportsNews #SkySportsTransferCentre #BreakingNews https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpN7MkDv7d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m very proud to be part of this illuminating panel discussion on Trans Inclusion in Grassroots Sport for the launch of @pridehousebham. There was a wealth of experience & knowledge across the amazing panel, hosted by the incredible @michelle_daltry, & featuring myself, Simon Croft, @transfitter & Claudia Krobitzsch. Hearing from Claudia on the work the @DFB_Team_EN undertook to make German football more inclusive really highlighted the negative impact of the UK’s political & media based culture wars around trans inclusion, a lot of which, it can be said, are rooted in misogyny & stereotypes. It was surprising yet so refreshing to hear that the move to make German football trans inclusive was greeted with neutral to positive reaction. It makes you question the motives of those in the UK demonising trans participation, particularly at grassroots level. Other key themes were around the obsession with testosterone being the deciding factor in competitive advantage when there are so many factors at play & also the importance of exercise & team sports in maintaining positive mental & physical health. I’ve put the link in my bio, please have a watch, enjoy & if you want to, feel free to reach out to chat more. #SportIsForEveryone #CommonwealthGames #TransPeopleLikeSportToo #Inclusion https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgu8Gstj0UI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wow last night was incredible! I can’t believe I was at Wembley to see England win a major tournament during my lifetime!!! ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏆👸🏼 Being there was so emotional, I was in tears & watching the game back now, I hope the team understand the magnitude of what they’ve achieved! They’ve shaped what’s possible for the future of football: they have smashed misogynistic views about women playing, young girls who love the game can now see their path right to the top, queer folk now see representation at the highest level. There’s obviously still work for England to do in bringing more black & brown players into the fold but overall the power of inclusion has emanated from & enhanced the whole tournament. Congratulations to the Lionesses! They have won England’s first major honour since ‘66 with tremendous talent, skill, drive & dedication! #TheLionessesBroughtItHome #ChamionesChampionesOléOléOlé #ENGvGER #EURO2022 (at Wembley Stadium, London, England) https://www.instagram.com/p/CguCK7qjnFW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
