238: A Diary of London Trans+ Pride with Travis Alabanza
Season 6, Ep. 238
•
We’ve got an exciting and inspiring episode for you this week - we’re reporting to you from London Trans+ Pride! To quote Munroe Bergdorf, it was a day of “LOVE” and “RAGE”, with 25,000 trans people and allies present to demand equal rights for Trans people! The fabulous Travis Albanza is this week's host - they’re a writer, performer and trailblazer, and one of the most exciting and inspiring voices in the trans community. Travis speaks to NHS doctors, teachers, the trans community and their supporters about their hopes for a harmonious trans future. It’s poignant and joyful in equal measure and you don’t want to miss!
Thank you to our episode host Travis Alabanza and brilliant audio editor Steve Folland.
