    Feb 3 2026
    Part 2!It is currently 2026, I initially wanted to put this series out a lot quicker! (Many these conversations I’ve been holding on to for a few months now!) I’ve been feeling a little guilty about the delay, until recently I decided that it’s a good thing. It’s meant I spent a lot of the past year thinking about this one topic. This episode spans 3 different conversations I’ve had this past year about the state of our rights- and what does it look like to stand in pride every day.___________________Chapter 1: Brighton with Sara Savage (Sarah’s Brighton)I sat with Sarah Savage (CEO of Trans Pride Brighton) after this the 2025 event to talk about her experience of the day- and all the things happening behind the scenes that 15k+ attendees never learn about!
