186: A Diary of London Trans+ Pride

<p>This week I’m coming to you again from my garden because I am grabbing what British Summer I can while it lasts. Who knows there may even be a crow update? Very exciting episode this week as a freelance journalist whose work I adore, Vic Parsons, has done us an incredible Audio Diary of their day at London’s Trans+ Pride march last Saturday. The march was a huge success, with plenty of laughs, lots of activism, and an overwhelming sense of unity dominating as 20,000 people peacefully marched from Wellington Arch in London and finished in Soho. It was a joy to see so many people from all across the trans and non-binary spectrum (and allies) creating a historic day that provided the trans community with a voice and visibility. In the words of Vic: “Now there are hundreds, if not thousands of people here. So many are wearing pink, white and blue trans pride flags and the inclusive LGBTQ+ flag. People are sitting on the grass, meeting friends, hugging, smiling and talking”. It’s a remarkable document of a beautiful day, so a huge thank you to Vic for letting us experience Trans+ Pride with you, it’s a properly special episode - Chris x</p><br><p><strong>Roe v Wade Resources</strong></p><p><a href="https://abortionfunds.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">National Network of Abortion Funds</a></p><p><a href="https://bpas-campaigns.org/campaigns/roe-v-wade/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The BPAS (British Pregancy Advice Service)</a></p><br><p><strong>Oslo Resources</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/skeiv.verden.vest/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Skeiv Verden Vest</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/pki.norge/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PKI Norge</a></p><br><p>📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T</p><p>📍Listen to Homo Sapiens ad-free by subscribing to Homo Sapiens+ on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/homo-sapiens/id1257514825" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apple</a></p><p>📍<a href="https://open.spotif
