Heteronormativity Heteronormativity is the concept that heterosexuality is considered the "default", "normal" or "desirable" orientation within our society. Heteronormativity manifests in many ways, such as: - Assuming that people are straight until told otherwise - Assuming that within same sex couples one partner must take on a more traditionally feminine role and the other a more masculine role. - Discounting the validity of non-nuclear families / believing a child needs a male and a female parent.

Change 1. We all go through change in our lives, it can't be avoided. In order to manage change and avoid being stuck in the past, it's important we lean on those who we trust, and look both internally and externally for new solutions or pathways forward. 2. As a community, we still have a long way to go to see the change we would like in terms of global civil rights for Queer People around the world. While a lot of this work is done through the work of Change-makers, a lot of real tangible change comes through the invaluable work of activists and allies.

Windrush Generation The "Windrush generation" refers to Caribbean migrants who came to the UK between 1948 and 1971 as a result of the British Nationality Act giving members of British colonies the right to live and work in Britain. The name "Windrush" comes from the HMT Empire Windrush, which was the first of the ships carrying these migrants to dock in the UK. The Windrush generation had a significant social and cultural impact on British society, filling the post-war labour shortage and enriching the UK with Caribbean culture, music and art. The 1971 Immigration Act should have allowed the Windrush generation permanent residency in the UK but in 2018 it was revealed that the UK Government had destroyed landing cards belonging to Windrush migrants, leaving many unable to prove they were in the country legally and thus at risk of deportation. This has come to be known as "The Windrush Scandal". < Back to Glossary

Body Doubling Body doubling is a strategy utilised by some neurodiverse people, especially those with ADHD, to improve productivity and minimise distractions when completing challenging tasks. Body doubling involves working on a task with another person present, either in-person or virtually, to anchor the neurodiverse person in the present and provide motivation when they struggle to sustain attention. The company of another person can also simply make the task itself less monotonous. See also: Neurodiversity, ADHD < Back to Glossary
