London Trans Pride has announced that a peaceful protest will go ahead this year in the capital with a confirmed June date.
On 26 June, trans and intersex people and their allies will “celebrate the memory of trans lives taken and uphold the next generation of trans revolutionaries”, the organisers said in a statement.
Organisers also called out the “abhorrent double standard” of attacks on healthcare for trans youth in the UK while intersex genital mutilation surgeries continue to be practiced on infants.
“We echo the Intersex NGO Coalition UK‘s appeal to end all harmful IGM practices, ensure redress and compensation, and provide access to free counselling,” organisers said.
