Trans Pride Bristol
Trans Pride Bristol was founded in 2016 as Trans Pride South West and it was the second trans pride to be established in the UK. Trans Pride Bristol consists of several weeks of events, culminating in a day of celebrating trans people at the end of March. In 2024, Trans Pride South West rebranded to Trans Pride Bristol to reflect the increasing focus of local communities in Bristol and to give space for new trans prides in the South West to establish their own identities.
Trans Pride Bristol March
28 Mar 2026
This year we have adapted our march route so it's a bit of a closer march to our Community Day venue, the Trinity Centre.
We are still going to be loud and proud across the streets of Bristol, starting from the Cenotaph. Gather from 10.30am for speeches, with the march starting at 11.15am.

Letter Confirming Breast Reduction
MOT/2024/NDOTC/BRIS/019
Tag I chose to get a breast reduction as a trans masc (?) person. I never really heard of anyone doing that, just a few non-binary people I found on a facebook page. 3 years on I still think I made the right call, but society doesnt – even queer people don't get it sometimes, and I wory I appear "pre-top". I'm ashamed to admit I felt "more real/an official trans person" after medical intervention which is messed up. I wanted to [scribbled out word] submit this for two reasons: to show people that men can [scribbled out word] choose to have tits, [two scribbled out words] and partly because you can see them [scribbled out word] misgender me right under my Mr. [previous word underlined] affix. The care I recieved was ok at best, despite costing £7568, and I think it speaks to the small list of bad options we often have to chose from.
