Protection Approaches is a registered charity with four supposed programme areas: communities, schools, training and atrocity prevention. Yep, you read that correctly. Atrocity prevention. Thankfully they define ‘atrocity’ as genocide, ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity and war crimes, rather than microaggressions like misgendering. However, it is not explained why they, a lowly DEI training provider, would have any influence in international politics.

Including trans people in sport
Simon opened the training by saying that trans people don’t feel comfortable in sport and ‘self-select’ out of it. However, inclusion was possible, it just required us to reappraise ‘stereotypes’ and change the way we do things.
Simon read a quote from GI’s ‘research’ from a trans person who was relying on sport to keep them going whilst they waited for ‘hormones and surgery’. A quote from the IOC told us that ‘sport was a human right’. So why did ‘trans folk’ find it hard to take part?

The Tragedy of Heterosexuality: Invitations Forward with Author Jane Ward
The audience of the webinar were mainly therapists, likely with a specialism in couples therapy and began with a land acknowledgement from Jennifer Hollinshead of the counselling service Peak Resilience hosting the session. She encouraged us to visit the land acknowledgement website she was reading from, so that we too can learn tribe names we can’t pronounce. Gender and sex was intricately linked to colonialism, she told us, and these tribes had a much more diverse gender system than ours (I don’t see how though, when we have at least a gazillion). The gender binary had been used to suppress peasant uprisings in Europe. The money raised from the seminar would go to an indigenous women’s group in Vancouver (I note from the blurb the term ‘self-identifying’ is used) and what sounded like a BLM-type justice project in LA. Neither project are registered charities, nor appear to have any governance in place.
