Trans Pride (London) 2025

Hello, everyone.

I’m a cisgender woman, but my partner of eight years - Steph - was trans. She died eight weeks ago in our home, and I think ahead, so often, to Trans Pride in London this year. We went together in 2023 (the photo above is of her radiant smile on our way there) and I feel a deep and desperate need to go this year, to march for her again and scream enough for the both of us.

I want to make a placard, wear her beautiful face on a t-shirt, have her in every possible way there with me. I’m also considering scattering some of her ashes on the march, if that’s allowed.

I don’t have any trans friends, nor am I sure that anyone would come with me. I’m 36 years old, a teacher, a loving person and I don’t want to march for her alone; I will do it alone, if I need to, and I’ll be fucking proud to do so, but I would very much like to find other people who will be going who may be able to welcome me in their group.

I know it’s an odd thing to ask on Reddit, and not entirely the safest thing in the world to do, but I would like to march with and for you. For her. Whether I do it alone or not.

I’ve written about Steph a lot in my posts; I’ve also written about her twice on r/transmemorial. She’s worth getting to know, far more than anyone other than me knew in life. She deserved so much more and better and, whilst I loved her with everything in me - gave everything I had to fill and fulfil her - I am desperate for others to know her too.

Apologies, this is rambling.

Sending you all my love and whatever strength I have, L.
