Today is IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

It’s an important moment to celebrate, respect, remember and show solidarity with LGBTQIA+ communities. But homophobia, biphobia, transphobia and other forms of discrimination don’t stop when awareness days do.

That’s why Safe Space Southampton exists.

We’re building a community-led directory of visibly safer spaces for trans, intersex and gender diverse people across Southampton: places where people can expect basic dignity, respect and inclusion.

We’re inviting local businesses, venues, services, organisations, community groups and individuals offering spaces, events or services to join us.

By signing up, you’ll be part of a local network committed to standing against hate, discrimination and exclusion, and helping people feel safer, more welcome and more supported in our city.

This is a commitment, not a checkbox. It’s about visible support, listening, learning and showing that trans, intersex and gender diverse people are welcome here.

You can also help us build the directory by sharing your own experiences of spaces in Southampton, good or bad, through our Community Feedback form.

The Barbell Division is an independent gym on Quayside Road, and “the place to be in Southampton if you’re serious about Strongman, powerlifting, Muay Thai, or pole!” 🏋💪

Here’s what they had to say about joining Safe Space Southampton:

“As an independent gym, we have always strived to offer a welcoming and supportive space for everyone, and that of course includes trans, gender diverse people, and any members of the q***r community, especially in a field like strength training that, on the surface, might not look like the most progressive environment!”
