London Trans Pride

Today we marched with the @proteusleather.club block at London Trans pride.

It felt good to see so many people turn out (150,000 by early estimates) and was a good medicine for the soul. It can be easy to feel powerless and alone in the current political climate so coming together in solidarity breaks that illusion.

Unfortunately the Heat and general exhaustion from the day before caught up with me before endpoint of the March. I started swaying on my feet and the world was getting a little bit ‘wobbly’

Knowing it was about time to listen to my body I and a friend peeled off to get food and a lot of liquids.

Afterwards I went home and crashed out on the bed and passed out for 3 hours.

Sad I couldn’t make it to the end but being there was important, and seeing all the members of the leather community from @news@londonleathermen.co.uk and @londonleatherdykes.bsky.social who showed up alongside Proteus in solidarity was great.
