  • London Trans Pride achieved a record-breaking turnout of approximately 100,000 people, establishing it as the largest Trans Pride event in history.

  • Organisers and attendees highlighted the particular importance of this year's march following a Supreme Court ruling in April regarding the definitions of 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010.

  • Speakers at the event underscored the community's resolve to assert their rights and dignity, emphasising solidarity against attempts to undermine their place in society.
