Welcome to the TransLondon discussion group website
 
TransLondon is a discussion/support group for all members of the ‘trans’ community, whatever their gender identity (or identities) and whatever stage in their ‘transition’ they have reached (if at all). However, all members must themselves be trans-identified or ‘questioning’.
 
The TransLondon group meets on the third tuesday of every month at 7.30pm at Gay's The Word Bookshop, 66, Marchmont Street, London, WC1N 1AB. (Unless the group gets too big, in which case we will be looking for another venue.)
 
The next meeting will be on Tuesday 19 August starting at 7.30 pm Gays The Word Bookshop, 66 Marchmont St, Bloomsbury WC1N 1AB.
 
Gay's The Word is only two minutes walk straight out of Russell Square tube. It is also a short walk from Euston Road, so easily accessible from King's Cross, St Pancras or Euston stations.
 
“ToiletGate”
 
Pride London was a great success in many ways this year, and a fantastic day out. It was sadly marred by transphobic incidents at the toilets on Trafalgar Square at the rally at the end. Full details of what happened, and of the forthcoming meeting between the Metropolitan Police and members of the London Trans community on Tuesday 29th July (for which you will need to register, if you want to take part) can be seen on the Trans At pride website here.
Gay's The Word Needs Your Support
Britain's only lesbian, gay, bi and trans bookshop, which has been an inspiration to a generation of writers, is under a threat from rising rents and falling sales. Please feel free to browse the shelves and show your support by making a purchase at the meeting.
