Norwich Trans Pride
Norwich Trans Pride has established itself as a significant force for promoting Transgender rights and representation in Norwich and Norfolk. With regular events throughout the year, including our much-anticipated picnic each summer, we create an amazing safe space for our community of gender non-conforming Queer people to gather and celebrate who we are. We have partied, protested, picnicked, held vigils, celebrated, and danced; we have been angry and sad and shed many tears together. We are strong and vibrant, and together Norwich TransPride will not be defeated.

Maybelline Eyeshadow Pallet
MOT/2024/NDOTC/NORW/035
Tag The first make up pallet I ever bought. It's not very good. The colours aren't great. The coverage is meh and the instructions are wrong. But it was one of the first genders affirming things I ever bought, and the most important step in transition is the first one.

Montane Baseball Cap
MOT/2024/NDOTC/NORW/034
Tag I got this cap in the early stages of transition. At the time I felt like it helped with being gendered correctly (although I think it had the unintended effect of making me look like a 15-year old...). I'm grateful for the protection it offered at a time when moving through the world could feel like a daily gauntlet.
