"Transformative" was a safe space event held by Pride London at Aeolian Hall on Tuesday night.
It was an opportunity for transgender individuals to hear about and voice their concerns.
Attendees filled out a survey to determine which actions could be taken to best support the community.
Over $2,000 in funding for the event and those actions were provided by Siskinds Law Firm.
Keynote speaker James O’Deary felt the event was very important, “Because a lot of times Pride London has a lot of good events going on, but the transgenders are often forgotten.”
Organizers held the event to give transgender Londoners a place to discuss their struggles and to connect them with resources that assist with things such as healthcare and mental health.
