We'd recently been feeling like we wouldn't feel save going to any Pride events in the UK this year, due to all the anti-trans stuff that's battered our mental health 🥺

However, we're increasingly thinking that it's more important than ever that, if possible, we at least attend London Trans+ Pride this year :TransHeart:

It's not that we think we'll feel especially safe doing so, or that we'll even really enjoy the event. We'll enjoy seeing friends, if we can catch up with them, and we know we'll find it too loud and overstimulating, so we'll need to prepare massively.

The reason we think that we need to attend is to add to the numbers and to show solidarity and support, especially to those who cannot attend for any number of valid reasons.

We don't really want to do Trans Pride Brighton again, as it's a bit of a trek and not a pleasant route, and no others are really within a reasonable travel distance / time for us to go and come back same day.

We feel we've gotta do something though as long as we've physically able to, even if it's a mental struggle.
