After a record breaking Trans Pride in 2024, Trans+Pride London will return to the capital this year on Saturday, July 26.
Since 2018, LTP has organised the annual London Trans+ Pride March, which sees tens of thousands from trans communities and allies gather in the capital.
At its core, the London Trans+ Pride march is a protest calling for equity via positive legislative change and radical improvement to education and public healthcare systems to recognise and support the needs of trans people.
Drawing inspiration from Pride’s origins as an intersectional protest against violence and erasure, as well as contemporary movements (Queer Picnic, UK Black Pride, Trans Pride Brighton & Hove), LTP exists to serve many goals, all grounded in its core mission: To grow a community-facing, grassroots pride celebration and protest organised by and for trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming and intersex people, as a means of highlighting community needs, struggles, successes, and experiences in a social and political climate where trans voices often go unheard.
LTP organisers say: “The world we work towards is defined by deep social equity and fairness. It is a world where no-one has to fight for their basic rights, as we and so many others are doing today; where the unique healthcare needs of our community are well-provided for by the public healthcare system; where it is not the responsibility of trans people to repeatedly educate others about our needs and histories; where we can live as our truest selves without being at risk of discrimination and violence; where we can go to work and don’t have to perform an idea of gender that does not align with our own; where the protection of our rights is guaranteed.
“We recognise our unique position as a trans-led and trans-centred community organisation that is based in London, which is home to core governmental, legal and financial institutions. It is our intention to use this position to leverage for positive change and bring together the efforts and voices of trans+ organisations and individuals across the UK.”
