The Protest against the exclusion of trans people from the conversion therapy ban went very well, roughly 200 people turned up – twice the amount of the last protest which also went extremely well – and there were some amazing speakers there, both trans people and cis allies. The run up to the event was somewhat draining for me and so I feel like my speech as chair of Norwich Pride’s Trans Advisory Group could have been a little better, but it still seemed to go down well. We had a fantastic song performance on acoustic guitar, and some fantastic on the fly speeches during the open mic session. Charlie and I also did interviews with Amy from BBC Radio Norfolk which will be coming out soon and I’m excited to share.
My Personal quote: “The government’s exclusion of trans people from the ban is deliberately malicious, but acknowledging that people deserve to be protected, they’ve admitted that they either don’t care, or want us to be mistreated with torture and abuse.”
