Words We Live By is a glossary of words defined by young LGBTQ+ people as part of a project at the University of Nottingham. We hope our guide to LGBTQ+ language helps you understand the ways that many young people describe their lives and their identities, (1/3)

Had a wonderful few days in Bristol at #imean7, presenting mine and @jones_lucy's research on media discourses of trans athletes and catching up with familiar and new faces. Big thanks to the organisers!
Now that our #iMean7 conference on #LanguageAndInclusion is over, we'd like to say a massive "thank you" to all our delegates, speakers and helpers 👏 (Here are some we managed to corral into a group pic!) It was a fantastic, stimulating three days.

Our final plenary from Stephanie Schnurr and Kieran File brings together key themes from the day. They emphasise our responsibility as researchers to engage with policy & practice in specific contexts. We’ll continue to draw themes together in our discussion sessions! #LGaSSIG15
