Trans Pride Exeter

Thank you to everyone who came to the afterparty! We had a ball. Especially all the performers who gave came together to make it all happen! Belladonna Bontanical, Scamp, Hell Au Kitty, HellOWeenie and our amazing local queen of the night, Pandoramidnight

Thank you all for coming! You all made Trans Pride Exeter 2026 an amazing day; we marched, we came together in protest, love and solidarity for all.

We marched from The Laurels in Dix's Field protesting the waiting list - it's over 20 years for a first appointment - through town to Bedford Square for speeches and performances,

and then to Exeter Community Centre where we held an art market, with fabulous local trans/non-binary artists selling their wares, performances, and workshops. Thanks to everyone who came and thank you to everyone who made it all possible!

Tomorrow the EHRC Guidance comes into force. To mark this event, Trans Pride Exeter invites you to the funeral of the Equality Act 2010. Made to protect the rights of minority groups, it has been subverted so trans, non-binary and intersex people can be segregated from all single sex spaces.

4 Aug

This will be based on appearance, where one person's bigotry will now demands another's exclusion: the central principle of the Equality Act is no more. Despite backlash this come into effect on August 5, 2026. Come mourn its untimely passing.

This is a really good article by @nancymk.bsky.social A lot of trans people know how bad it is for trans kids. A lot of cis people do not know. Please share this widely with the cis people in your life. The UK is making life impossible for trans children.

Trans+ children and their families are living with the cumulative impact of a government targeting them and making their lives less safe, says @nancymk.bsky.social

The EHRC Guidance is a mess - and we need you to write to your MP to ask them to disapprove it. If you've already done that - great (and thanks!) but we're getting closer to the end of the 40 days, so what next: www.tpex.uk/blog/writing...

The new EHRC guidance breaks the Equality Act - Trans/non-binary and gender non-comforming people can be excluded from facilities and pushed out of daily life. It will be law in 40 days - without any manifesto commitments, or even a single vote unless our MPs demand one NOW. Join us in protest
