Check out this article in the UK national newspaper in the Guardian. www.theguardian.com/world/2023/jul/01/london-pride-politics-trans-rights-climate-protestIt features some of my friends from RTrans, with quotes from two of them, and picture of those with four of the others that attended today. The women in question are Lexi Kane and Anne Coombes. Lexi is the one that recently organised a visit to a picket line in support of the junior doctor's strike. I have met up and socialised with all those in the picture, indeed four of them were at my birthday do in May. Really proud of them for making it into that article.

Oh wow that's very cool! And nice to put faces to some of the people you've talked about. And I would say brave too, being interviewed and photographed for a mainstream newspaper, on this particular topic! Although for a UK MSM article, it actually wasn't bad... Which was a nice surprise lol!

Unfortunately a prominent transphobe tweeted about it. Sadly that was expected in the current environment. Haven't read what she said but one of the girls posted about it this morning

Transphobe aside (unfortunately we have to expect that), it is really cool to get some decent publicity and that we get to see some of your friends!
