UK Pride or Trans friendly Events 2019


Recommended Posts

Hi, could anyone point me in the direction of a directory of any events coming up in the UK for 2019, I'm sure I saw something somewhere but can't find it again - is there a central resource that I can't find?

 

I want to try getting out in public as Dee this year my plan is to start small and build up if comfortable and my niece has said she would like to go to a Pride event where she is at university as something she would like to do, I can find that one and it looks like if I'm brave enough it is doable, but its got me thinking about other opportunities for days or small trips away and I simply have no clue where to start looking! :)

Trans Pride in Brighton looks fantastic. If I was in the UK, I'd definitely want to go. These sorts of events have been so rewarding to attend. I hope you have the same experience!

Thanks Sugar, I have a cousin that lives down that way - if I come out to her it would be an option, I know she will be fine with it. Brighton is the LGBTQ+ capital of the UK so it has a reputation to uphold! For me it is a safe area and a chance to actually socialise as myself, isolation is an issue where I am. Other than the parades what actually happens at them?

I can't speak to the Brighton one, but at the Pride events I've been to there's usually music and dancing, food, drinks, booths from merchants and trans supportive organizations. My favorite think is the people watching and the chance to feel truly accepted and not judged. Many times local clubs will have related events and after party types of things, too. It's especially fun if you can find a few friends to go together.

So more like festivals then? I know I would prefer to have company, and who knows by then I might do - but at the moment it would be me on my own. ?

Thanks Jojo, at the moment I have stayed away from FB as Dee - I would love to access the support group but FB is invasive and links and suggests too many things for me to trust it even if I made a separate profile to log in as.  I was hoping someone somewhere had listed all the different Prides etc in a central location so I could just pick and choose dates that work for me, no worries! ?

Yes!  I don't use it but I've read you would need to use a different computer (or phone) to access the site in order to avoid cross pollination!

There is one here in LIncoln. I don't know the dates for this year, but have just checked and come across this: http://www.lincolnpride.co.uk/about-us .

 

Personally I don't tend to go. I was caught up in the fringes last year though as I had a birthday party in town on the same weekend, and had arranged to meet some friends outside a pub. They were late so I was a bit of a bystander to the scene, mostly students.

Thanks Tracy, it looks like it was in September last year? Most of the parades I've seen tend to have a larger student contingent. Which is a good thing, they should always be the most publicly progressive part of our society!  I don't want to go to march necessarily, but to be in an openly safe environment and disappear in a crowd of others without standing out definitely appeals - plus, why not?

On our home calendar the party was on 29th September so that weekend. My party was just up the road from the nightclub which hosted the main evening event. I saw quite a queue outside as I was leaving the party to go home. These days, with the recently new university pretty much in the centre of town , there is a massive student influx. I did find it a bit spooky though, as I park uphill in free roadside parking. They switch the street lamps out between 23:00 and midnight on many outlying streets (cost cuts) so I was walking back to my car amongst students pretty much in darkness.

I wouldn't fancy walking in a crowd I don't know in the dark either Tracy!

 

It is not an exhaustive list - but I have found a list of some Pride ? places and 2019 dates on PinkUK.com

      It's kinda weird how these people are so worked up over making these laws.  They would have no effect on cis people either way.  Yet they are the ones with the obsession.  They ought to just stay out of trans people's business.

      Bean burritos are still popular in my family.   Black eyed peas are the one legume I'm not fond of.  I need to add lots of onions. And of course always cook your pintoes with fat-meat.  And for y'all yankees, navy beans with a big ol' ham bone are hard to beat.

      Seek out community, not just online but in person if possible. Making trans friends is a pretty quick and easy way to gauge if you have much in common with them.

      Glad to be home and did go out for a walk this morning.Good thing is that went good.Still taking it easy

      It certainly could be classed as dark humor.  Unfortunately the sentiments alone must hurt young trans folks.  Decency and reality doesn't seem to be in the GOP's vocabulary.   Hugs,   Charlize

      Good morning all,    It’s a frosty morning here the lawn looks silvery, and the uncovered spring flowers have icy edges on their leaves. The only flower bed I covered was my tulips. As nice as it is here during the day, our clear wind free nights allow the temperatures to drop into the mid twenties. Here in our growing zone it’s recommended that you not plant delicate plants until Mother’s Day. Central Indiana can have snow as late as the third week of May. The birds are active at the feeders, I’ve had my cup of yoghurt and morning meds. So I’ll sit here, drink coffee and watch the as the sunrise chases the frost from the yard.    @awkward-yet-sweet I could eat black eyed peas as a side for every meal. Boil them plain or with fatback. Served as a leftover, just add in a little Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies.  Make the best of your day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Had a weird dream last night.
    • Mirrabooka
      Morning, y'all. Evening here; we had the regulation three mugs full today. Now it's time to drink something else.     No big plans here either, eldest daughter and granddaughter will be arriving on Saturday, and we will have our granddaughter to ourselves for a week after that. We still have plans though. Tuesday we'll go to the swim center, Wednesday we'll take a road trip to visit my mom, Thursday we'll get some mulch delivered to top up the gardens.   I still make other small plans on a daily basis though. The things I do plan nowadays, which is a bit new for me, is that after pinching a nerve and ending up in a bit of pain and getting some treatment from the physio, I am more motivated than ever to exercise more regularly. Tuesday for example, I went for a short (15 minute) early morning walk, went to the pool for some hydrotherapy, and mowed the lawns. Yesterday I did my exercise reps and spent some time on the exercise bike. Today, I went for a 45-minute walk, tomorrow I will do my reps again and go for a long bike ride. As long as I do at least one thing every day, right? The pleasing thing is that I'm losing weight! I blew out to above 95kg early in the year and I'm just under 91kg now. Yay me!

      What one piece of advice would you give to beginning transitioners or considering transition?

      Boredom is an emotional state that comes when a person has nothing to do, and is not interested in anything. To stop boredom, most people do something to occupy or amuse themselves. The first known use of the word boredom is in the novel Bleak House by Charles Dickens, written in 1852, but the saying to be a bore had been used to mean "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. When referring to the mind, boredom is a bad state in which the person feels a deep lack of interest in what is going on around them, and where it is hard to focus.
