Overview

  • Over 100,000 participants marched from Langham Place to Parliament Square Gardens on July 26, making London Trans+ Pride 2025 the largest trans rights event in history.
  • The protest responded to an April Supreme Court ruling that defined “woman” by biological sex and subsequent EHRC interim guidance limiting trans people’s access to gendered spaces.
  • Organisers and activists called on MPs to block the guidance before it becomes statutory and to reaffirm inclusive provisions of the Equality Act 2010.
  • High-profile speakers such as Yasmin Finney and Caroline Litman highlighted calls for dignity, healthcare access and legislative accountability.
  • Demonstrators also displayed solidarity with other causes, with visible support for Palestinians in Gaza and grassroots actions by Trans Kids Deserve Better emphasizing systemic injustices.
