The actual anniversary was last week, but it’s Pride in London today and I’m remembering last year, when I skipped Pride but stumbled on a small protest at the NHS England offices while I was out walking in the evening

Frontage of a fancy office building - maybe three or four stories high with greek-style columns and dark glass. A dropped banner reads “Not pawns for your politics” and letters stuck across the outside of the window read “Trans kids deserve better”

Attached: 1 image Trans kids protesting up on NHS England offices behind the Old Vic. Small protest but it seems well-organised - they’re masked up and have leaflets. Camera crew on the ground too. I asked if they needed anything, brought wet wipes and bottled water, and gave them all the stickers I had on me

I forgot to tag the rest of my posts from that first protest and auto-delete got them. But here’s a few pics

Zoomed-in shot of a hand-drawn poster stuck on the outside of a window high up on the NHS England offices near Waterloo. A group of kids drawn in pink and blue rally under a trans flag in the centre of the picture. Pink and blue lines of trans energy radiate from them, repelling police and crashing a helicopter

Long shot of the front of the NHS England offices: a glass and stone building of maybe six stories with greek-style columns along the frontage above ground level. Letters drawn on sheets of paper are stuck along the frontage where the kids are camped, spelling “trans kids deserve better”. There’s a banner drop (“we are not pawns for your politics” from the previous pic), some trans flags, and small posters too. A small group of supporters is gathered on the pavement below

Home made sign on a big sheet of white foamboard - I made it hastily on day 2 because the kids had lost their stash of leaflets. There’s a big QR code and “TransKidsDeserveBettwer.org” on printer paper, and two leaflets (showing front and back) sellotaped to the board. The kids have decorated it with pink and blue hearts, drawings of cats, “trans rights”, and small trans heart stickers
