The first #PrideInLondon was held in 1972, led by members of the Gay Liberation Front.
The GLF even then had a 40 strong ‘Transvestite, Transexual, Drag Queen’ group of activists, fighting for recognition and respect.
Gay Pride has always included trans people.

This is a real place.

It's a village in the Netherlands called Bourtange (population: 430) built in and around an 18th century star fort.

How and why does it exist? That's where things get interesting...

I was marching today, we got delayed. So what? They have a right to make their point. It was a nice day, we still marched; we made our point, they made theirs. No harm no foul.

On receiving my amazon package, the driver asked me to confirm my name, and then my date of birth which I provided.

His response, “You’re older than my Mum”.

@MuscleYoda What is insane about all this is if she just read her own tweet she might even get it. She’s literally spelled it out for herself. And yet… 🙃

[Ru 🦄 🏳️‍🌈 @RuariC]

She is *so* tantalisingly close to figuring it out…

JK Rowling’s ever so close to understanding that the real issue here isn’t trans people, but abusive cis men.
Trans women & cis women both suffer at the hands of patriarchy. Forcing trans women into men’s spaces solves nothing.
