Edinburgh Trans Choir is intended to be an inclusive, respectful and safe environment, and all choir participants have a shared responsibility to maintain the space as such. All contributions and interactions at choir sessions, on social media, and via chat and emails should be respectful of other members.
There is a zero-tolerance approach for discrimination or prejudice towards another member based on marginalised characteristics or identities (e.g., transphobia, homophobia, racism, ableism, sexism etc.).
If you observe, experience, or are concerned about any inappropriate or harmful behaviour, please speak to an organiser of the choir. You can approach an organiser during the break or after the session, contact our social media, or email edinburghtranschoir@gmail.com. You can ask for a more private or longer conversation at a separate time if you would prefer. If you do not feel comfortable speaking to an organiser of the choir, approach someone in choir you feel comfortable with, or contact Joanna at LGBT Health and Wellbeing: you can find contact information at https://www.lgbthealth.org.uk/contact-us/. Participants asked to stop any inappropriate behaviour are expected to comply immediately. If a participant engages in inappropriate behaviour, organisers retain the right to take any actions to keep the group a welcoming environment for all participants. This includes warning the offender or expulsion from the space.
Names, photographs, or other information that could identify participants should not be shared publicly unless express permission is provided by the person/s in question. If talking about people from choir, unless you have checked beforehand do not explicitly mention that the choir is for transgender people if you refer to someone by name, and do not use their full name.
We respectfully ask you not to attend if you believe that you have a cough, cold, sore throat or other symptoms of infectious illness. This is to keep everyone in the group as safe as possible as well as to protect your health and voice. Masks are not mandatory and choir organisers will not be wearing them to sing, but you are welcome to wear one.
