Trans Pride Birmingham
Trans Pride Birmingham held its first event in 2022, a protest picnic at Pigeon Park in Birmingham City Centre. Since then, they've hosted events and supported other grassroots organisations in Birmingham. Trans Pride Birmingham was formed because of the inaccessibility and discrimination faced by the community which saw corporate pride as a drinking and music festival. It is the first Trans Pride organisation to be based in the Midlands.
