An estimated 20,000 gathered in Brighton in protest for trans liberation on Saturday (16 July). Trans Pride Brighton returned last weekend for the first time since before the pandemic.

The parade set off from Jubilee Square before marching along the seafront. Activists, allies and members of LGBTQ+ community carried flags including the intersex flag, the Pride Progress flag and shouted out chants such as “trans rights now!”.

Brighton Newspaper The Argus reported protesters carrying banners reading “Trans liberation now”, “Trans women belong in sport” and “We will always be here”.

Protesters received a warm welcome from passers-by according to Twitter. “During the Brighton Trans Pride Protest March a person ran up the side of the road with a sign saying ‘Honk for trans rights’, every single car honked and waved and smiled,” one user wrote. “Terfs act like everyone hates trans people but clearly that’s not true.” Protesters’ placards also shared messages addressing the conversation around trans rights amidst the ongoing Conservative party leadership election, including the trans conversion therapy ban.
