Hello! Next week there's a trans person joining my club for training. Because I´m not trans and don't have anyone close to me that I know is trans I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on how to support them. We've never had a trans person here so this is might be kinda new for lots of people. I know some general stuff like I should probably ask them for their pronouns and which changing room they wanna use (we only got one for men and one for women, so I was thinking if they're not comfortable they can use the restroom for people with a disability thats right around the corner in the same building). So aside from that, any suggestions?

PS I know this is a transfem community and I don't know the identity of this person but this was the largest trans community I could find, if theres a better place to ask lemme know!

Edit: I don't wanna share which sport exactly cus of privacy but its not a team sport so at least at training there won't be any separation based on gender

Heya, appreciate people like ya!

If the club is owned by you, what might be handy is to remove "women" and "men" symbols at toilets, labelling them simply "toilet".

Install bins (for those who have periods) in the formerly male ones and done.

Id love to but we use a building from some organisation :(

Hmm... is the sports club yours?

If the symbols are easy to remove and put back up, why not do so? Or alternatively, put large "WC" buttons over them, so you don't see the former symbols.

Bins can be added and removed easily, so they shouldn't be an issue, tbh.

Nope its not, I just help with stuff. There are toilets inside the changing rooms but there are more toilets in the hallway which is not part of the space we rent.

Bins are probably doable in the changing room toilets, will check that out
