- Text from forum:

“Serge organises a picnic every summer to raise money for Press

For Change. It grows each year. Last year, nearly 100 transpeople, their
partners and friends spent the afternoon lazing around in the shade of a
large oak tree in Hyde Park. A group of trans lads kicked a ball about.
Baskets of home-made brownies were handed round. I met transwomen
who lived near where I grew up and ran away to London from. Some of us
fellas got the sun to our chests for the first time in years. I found it
energising. I don't remember having a single conversation about being
trans. Our trans-ness didn't have to be declared, discussed or disclosed. It
was a given. And besides, we were too busy watching the sun through the
leaves and enjoying being part of the biggest, coolest, most fun group of
people in Hyde Park that afternoon.”
