Are you a trans or non-binary person nervous about coming out for the first time?
Island Hoops Basketball Society is proud of its reputation as a welcoming place for 2SLGBTQIA+ people. As you can see in our Gender Inclusion Policy, we invite genderqueer and trans folks of all genders to join us, and encourage gender-neutral language and proactive pronoun disclosure in our programs.
There are many trans folks who attend our programs regularly, and genderqueer people in leadership roles in IHBS. If you are worried you will be the 'first one', please know that you are entering a community that is already comfortable with and actively welcoming of genderqueer people, and that the leadership actively upholds this culture.
