London Trans Pride sees record turnout after Supreme Court ruling
- London Trans Pride achieved a record-breaking turnout of approximately 100,000 people, establishing it as the largest Trans Pride event in history.
- The attendance this year marked a significant increase of about 40,000 participants compared to the previous year's event.
- Organisers and attendees highlighted the particular importance of this year's march following a Supreme Court ruling in April regarding the definitions of 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010.
- Community representatives expressed concerns that the ruling and subsequent guidance could lead to increased discrimination and 'vigilante' actions against trans individuals in public spaces.
- Speakers at the event underscored the community's resolve to assert their rights and dignity, emphasising solidarity against attempts to undermine their place in society.
