‘Without Fear’: 7,000 Trans Folk Allies Marched Through Aussie Streets Over The Weekend

Roughly 7,000 trans folk and allies marched and raised funds for the trans community over the weekend as International Trans Day of Visibility rallies took place in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Taking a resilient stance against anti-trans voices and those who seek to take away the rights of our trans friends and family, individuals gathered together to listen to multiple powerful activists speak and march together as one. Approximately 3,000 people showed up in Sydney, 3,000 in Melbourne and 1,000 in Brisbane. You bloody love to see it. Victorian Pride Lobby put together the snap action rally in Melbourne, which moved from the State Library of Victoria on Swanston Street to the Victorian Parliament.

Thank you to the thousands of people who joined us in Melbourne/Naarm last night to reclaim the streets.

You helped make it clear that we will always drown out transphobia with love and support.

Two weeks ago, Posie Parker stood with a pathetically small gathering of terfs and actual Nazis on the steps of parliament in Melbourne, Australia.

Blown away by today's trans rights rally!
Huge turnout, fab union contingents & incredible speeches linking the bigoted minority to the transphobia of the system!
