Organisers say 150,000 march for London Trans+ Pride
Trans pride London shows the country isn't Transphobic. No matter how much money the far right has, the people stand together in love & solidarity.
Kirsty McTear 🏳️⚧️32Glad I turned up… it would have been a shame if it was only 149,999 😬 I thought it was big due to how long it started to move, usually a good sign apart from for your feet.
Dr Nuits de Young10This is why I call the enemy 'Astroterfs'. They have no grassroots support.
Sara Hummingbird6The people aren't transphobic Labour are.
NevereverDave.bsky.social5"strengthened protections for trans people against hate crime, pushed forward trans-inclusive conversion practices ban, top priority is safety & wellbeing of all children & young people in education. ..issued updated keeping children safe in education guidance.” The LIES they tell themselves.
Dave in Ohio4Similar problem in UK and US - one rich asshole giving legitimacy to opinions that practically no one agrees with. Unfortunately, our rich asshole gets to write laws about it.
Lynne #TaxTheRich #WelfareNotWarfare #MakeLabourHistory2The far right can’t stand to see people live a content, hospitable, or happy life! Why is real balance so problematic for them? I hate the connotations of the word “tolerance”, but any kind of acceptance really does appear to upset their equilibrium!
Mallory Moore276This is running up to 3/4 of the trans population in the UK
Disco Barrington 🏳️⚧️ Author7I wasn’t there this time but I’m so so proud of my trans siblings and allies!!
maryemmaholly.bsky.social7we’ve got this - some are lost others can be found, while our spell to heal every divided goes like this, i love you unconditionally 🐦⬛⚫️🌱
Hex4i'm so happy to have been part of this. can't really convey how it felt to be seen and supported like this in a country ruled by people who want me dead but are too cowardly to say it
Anna S4I was in the middle, or perhaps towards the back, and I didn't see a single police officer, so they clearly weren't expecting so many people. The only counter protest I saw was one woman shouting after the end of the march. The march was enormous and amazing, I'm so glad I was there!
Terminally Frogline4I'm always stunned at how many moments Labour fails to meet.
Colin Peters3Very tangentially, I continue to believe that most politicians, including progressive ones, live in an isolated, and wealthy subculture which is absolutely chock full of right wing and conservative thought, and this significantly influences what they think are popular policies, shifting them right.
Over 150,000 came out in full force for London Trans+ Pride to say loud and clear: Trans rights are human rights 💖
Winter95Not a thing about it on any of the UK news sites' front pages though. They are giving the fash ideas though with detailed coverage of the bastard who drove their car into Pride-goers in Berlin.
Fiona Katauskas88Suck on this Jk Rowling and your army of TERF ghouls
Helen 🏳️⚧️✊🏻💕69If you squint, you can see me in the top left hand corner walking next to the @transparentaction.bsky.social patch - made up of smaller patches created by parents saying how proud they are of their trans+ children 💕 #ProudParent #TakingAStand
Dark Matter Zine3If you’re obsessed about someone else’s genitals then that’s a “you” problem not a “them” problem. Get mental help and leave others to live in peace.
Today, we will be reporting on London Trans+ Pride. A sizeable crowd have already arrived at Langham Place, including @tacc.org.uk
What The Trans?! 🏳️⚧️292"Are you a boy or a girl? My dad is a boy And my mum is a girl So I'm MIXED"
Jenn de Jeune33Always good to see the start outside the front of the BBC offices, so plausible deniability is out the window… Let’s see how long it takes for them to get around to reporting the march !
naoarte7Bummed that I couldn't make it today. Seeing the crowd last year was... emotional. 🥲
Lauraaa5Love and rockets from me in South wales , great to see and kudos to everyone filming and taking stills !
Alice Jauregui-Benson (she/her)1Greetings from across the pond my trans brothers and sisters!!
On the way to London Trans+ Pride I was asked by an older lady what everyone was there for. "Oh, it's Trans Pride." "Wasn't Pride earlier this month?" "No, that's Pride In London; this is Pride for trans people, and it's more of a protest." She couldn't understand why it was a protest.
ændra.228Tbh I think she was a bit taken aback realising my partner and I were trans. "But surely things are better for you than when I was growing up?" I explained about the bathroom ban. "But wouldn't it be better to have transgender bathrooms?" I asked, what if I'm not out to friends or colleagues?
Aida31It's the same abroad, people do not realize how fucked up UK is right now. Fun fact, did you know that BBC.co.uk accessed from UK and outside serves entirely different content, and there is no easy way to see the uk version? It's a fun little stunt to hide the transphobia, and it works.
Elle6what is happening to us is lost to the wider population, it's all kept quiet on the main news channels with only a voice given to the people filled with hate so it's not surprising, even among my own family and friends I've had to explain very carefully what is going on!
emily sunshine74really good thread in part about how well siloed off a lot of cis people have (intentionally or not) made themselves from the actual exigencies of existing while trans in 2026.
Derrell Durrett2This sounds like the canvassing gay folks did in California in the aftermath of Prop 8 to see why their neighbors wanted to ban gay marriage.
Every year they ignore Trans Pride and every year it seems to gets bigger
Venomous9amazingly, those uppity trannies aren't lying down and dying like the UK government really wants them to who could have predicted it
naoarte9The media is our enemy. We don't need it. London Trans Pride have just put six figures on the streets with nothing but an Instagram account.
Marie Leanne Shrewsbury1Estimate we got was 150k
Ian Brown1Same with Brighton's Trans Pride!
The official government response to London Trans Prides message to Andy Burnham from the end of various articles: A Government spokesperson said: ‘The Government is committed to protecting the rights, dignity and safety of all LGBT+ people. 🧵 (me- this is simply insulting)
Caroline Litman227'There are clear laws in place to protect trans people from discrimination and harassment, which we will continue to uphold. (me- which trans people can’t benefit from because of cost, fear of disrespect from the courts and in media coverage and because JKR is using her wealth to skew the system)
Dr Crow46I’ve had this kind of doublethink as a response to writing to MPs. I think they’re genuinely deluded enough to think that this utter mess is somehow dignified and protective and if they say these words somehow magically human rights aren’t being decimated. It’s an ugly misuse of words.
Ethel Weapon37“rights, dignity and safety” are viciously attacked by both the conversion therapy bill (which legitimises conversion practices, including government-sponsored ones) and the KCSIE guidelines which are a charter for the abuse of trans kids what monsters they are
UnicornsRockUK27Arent Labour hosting IDAHOT next year? So we'd better make sure it's (peacefully) protested and that delegates know how far the uk has sunk- including trans segregation.
Aida26I have a thread somewhere explaining that there is not even a theoretical protection against even slightly veiled discrimination against transgender people, since now intentionally treating transgender people against their transition and doing so deliberately has been found just.
Erin, a bee 🐝 🏳️⚧️ (Ms Fidget era)22The government is infected by extremist evangelical attitudes and money. Every statement from them is an admission of that.
Rose Schmits366Long story short Government: Everything is fine actually and trans rights are exactly where we want them (segregated and banned in schools and for young people)
D A V I E M O O17I am genuinely at the point where if someone says anything about rights and dignity in conjunction with anything to do with queer people I immediately assume they’re evil.
Erika is still using women's toilets 🖕(she/her) 🏳️⚧️13Labour cant claim this until they at the very least scrap the EHRC guidance Thats not even mentioning making NHS wait times for hormones/surgeries easier and undoing the PB ban Ally isnt a noun, its a verb and its not self-imposed, the community gives it to you based on your actions
Moxie Meow12The same government that's said that trans people can't use public toilets? Yeah, no. bsky.app/profile/alic...
Sara Hummingbird11DiGnITy & rEspEcT Psst Burnham the right hated Starmer for the misinformation they were fed & he legitimised. The left hated him for punishing minorities based on misinformation. 150,000 people marched with love & solidarity. Make better decisions than Starmer & fix what Labour broke.
Hierophant Shelley B Woke - Living Saint of Purity🏳️⚧️🖤💜🤍 💛11The UK government lies with a straight face. A thread.
Steven Perkins9It’s also completely untrue, and if we had a functioning media class in this country they’d actually get some pushback on it
Lena Midnight7Still the same government then, palming deceit off as their truth
Helen Gibbons6Excellent thread. The UK government’s claim here is utter nonsense.
Kris (he/him)4Andy Burnham's Labour is as rotten and bigoted and hateful as Starmer's Labour.
Man drinking Carlsberg on the tube (not his first, apparently) just read my sign and gave me a big thumbs up! 👍 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵 #TransPride
floot the gender woo gerbil 🇵🇸3You are always such a bright light on my timeline, Matthew 🥰
MJ Quigley1Random Carlsberg man says "trans rights" - what a lad
𐑒𐑧𐑤𐑮𐑷𐑒𐑴 (Khelrauko)1Growing up in the 90s, it's really striking how similar the anti-trans movement is to the anti-gay back then. Play by playing, it's the same shit.
CritFacts the En Route Back Enby16I can't repost this hard enough. I was younger, so at the time my fighting for gay rights was talking to everyone I could to improve their attitudes, Now I realize the fight is so much bigger - the war against us has always been manufactured to control people.
Renegade (Riot) 🔜 Megaplex2I'm glad there's more of these people than there are of you. bsky.app/profile/matt...
London Trans Pride has been magical The march had such an overwhelming sense of camaraderie and belonging, and I’m so very excited for afters Also incredible to have other fans and the WARHOUND-curious approach me. You were all wonderful x #WARHOUND #TransPrideLondon #LondonTransPride #TransPride
Kallidora Rho11This is INSANE oh my gosh
Sartha Thrace #2000015Yeah, it was fun to be there and meet everyone. 💜🤍 It's definitely a magical experience.
Raminae Skye3That's super cute, and I love your modded muzzle!!
Pet-Thing called Purple2!woof! It was really cool ^w^
Cera | τύπος : Κέρβερος2Glad you went and wore it!
Loyal Knight 🗡️| Hound Dyke 🌘1you look so great Sartha!!
Others have noted that this gigantic march hasn't gotten the level of attention it deserves—so let's amplify the story. This seems like a good writeup from the Independent. "An estimated 150,000 people marched through central London in the world’s largest trans pride event, organisers have said."
Dave Awl9Adding: I was particularly glad to see that the Independent's article includes some visibility for intersex people, who are too often left out of the conversation.
Thomas Brackett “Czar” Reed2Let’s beat this record in the US
DexterSaysMeow1Understand: Civil rights, women's rights, immigrant rights, disability rights and LGBTQ+ rights are in solidarity. AGAINST FASCISM. Antifa, if you will. The more they hate and hurt the more we band together to defeat them.
