    The Resources links page is seriously outdated - I'd be willing to update it if anyone was willing to assist.

    The trans mega sticky may need to be looked at as well. Is the information there still relevant?

    This is a call out for volunteers to assist in looking at both and updating them.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    As a start what I am doing is going through existing links to see

    1 are they working
    2 are they relevant


    What I would like to do is have about maybe 8 - 10 headings

    For example

    Forums/Messageboards
    Sports/Social groups
    Rights/Equality groups
    Media - Online/Offline magazine
    Student and Youth
    Sexual Health
    Support groups or organisations
    Regional groups
    Scene Listings (maybe)
    Prides
    National organisations
    International organisations
    Health/Education (maybe)
    Religious/spiritual groups (maybe)

    I'm flexible but to me it makes more sense to categorise the list.


    It could be just one big list as well or the categories can be changed. They are only my suggestions.

    I can have a look at the Trans section if you like. It may take me a few days, though.

    Yeah sure

    Its a bit all over the place tbh. There were some threads all just merged together.

    I think we're off to a good start with the resource links page but a more robust list of regional groups/clubs would be good so if anyone is willing to add groups in their county that would be appreciated. Some more info about groups in Northern Ireland would be helpful too.

    Lash up anything you think needs to be included in this thread

    Arrange as you see fit,

    If anyone has anything they would like to add please post it here. County/regional groups would be good and more listings for Northern Ireland too, also any college/universities that I have missed (there are many)
