#PrideIsAProtest

Solidarity Statement.

Trans Pride Southampton stands in solidarity with the queer community in the USA. Who are facing growingly more blatant hostility towards particular trans people. We never thought we’d have to say this so quickly, but we must assert it is in no way fraudulent for one to embrace their queer identity and transition.

We also send our thoughts to Hungary, who has recently banned Pride events to combat “woke ideology”. Pride is a protest, and it can be a celebration of battles already won - we wish the queer communities in Hungary the best in this new battle to overcome.

These sentiments regarding queer people, or “wokeness”, are already rife in the UK. Our media already floods people with the statement being trans is an “ideology “ - we assert this has never been the case, trans people have always existed and is only political because we are politicised by the hatred and ignorance we face.

Gay nya-ight folks 👋🥱🩷

We've prepared as much as we can in advance for tomorrow and painted our nails (complete with bottom and top coats!), so feeling pretty proud.

Alarm is set for 06:45 BST (UTC+1) in order to ensure we get to the station in plenty of time to get our train just after 08:00.

Very much looking forward to London Trans+ Pride tomorrow, partly to be around so many other trans folk and protest, but also to see many fedi friends for the first time 🥰 :FediverseSymbol: and to catch up with other friends we haven't seen in yonks 🫶
