Sarah Savage, chair of Trans Pride Brighton & Hove “Trans Pride Brighton is about discovering people like me. Before transition I had never met another trans person, and I couldn’t imagine being happy as a trans person. But now if an ‘egg’ comes to Trans Pride they see that everyone is so happy, it’s so joyous to be with a group of people who are like them. People who transitioned in the ’80s and ’90s come up to me and they’re amazed that something like this can exist, because they remember when trans people were so marginalised that they couldn’t even find each other. We couldn’t even find our community. Now people can come to this one place and that’s their people, that’s their community. It’s more than just one day in summer. Trans Pride actually changes lives.”
