Great protest at Worcester Guildhall today. Proud to represent #lgbteducators Letting our views on trans rights be known. I also gave a short speech to remind everyone of our responsibility to Protect Trans Kids #transrights #protecttranskids #educator #teacher #lgbtteacher

The backs of heads at a protest. There are visible trans flags, and signs, the most visible says 'transphobes do not speak for me'

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the protest in Worcester. In such a small place having so many people, and such powerful community, really means a lot.

Prior to the 3pm trans rights protest this Saturday (19th April) we will be meeting at Sugar Daddy’s Cafe to make signs and placards together.

Art supplies will be provided, but feel free to bring your own.

Thank you to everyone who helped make our TDoV event possible. We are going to continue to run events, to create safe spaces, and to support everyone trans and non-binary.
No law or ruling can take away who we are, or the communities we have.
Trans people have always been here, and always will be.

4. Please Don’t Get too Drunk
We do have first aiders, and can clean up vomit, but we’d really rather not.

3. Respect Others
Should hopefully go without saying, but please don’t be racist, sexist, homo/bi/transphobic, ableist, harass people, flirt with people who’ve told you to stop, or generally treat anyone badly in any way.

2. Be Careful in the Building
The building we are holding the event in is old and fragile, so please be careful of the space so you don’t get hurt and the building doesn’t get damaged. If a sign says No Entry, it’s there for a reason.

1. No Photos or Videos Outside of the Photo Zone
We want Queer Prom to be a safe and comfortable space for everyone, and we know that some people are not comfortable being fully out yet. As such we are asking people not to take photos or videos in areas outside of the dedicated photo zone.

The Queer Prom is intended to be a safe, inclusive event for people to dress up and have a good time, especially people who weren’t able to attend their own proms presenting as themselves, or together with the person they were dating. As such we’ve got a few guidelines we’re asking people to follow.

If anyone's interested in getting one started then let us know, we're happy to chat about how we got going and do some cross-promotion.

Join us for a trans support and social session! This session will be running after the voice training workshop, but you do not need to attend that in order to come to the support social.
