I’ve shared a public statement regarding Bristol Pride’s UWE sponsorship, alongside wider issues around trans+ community trust, safety and engagement.

I’m approaching this in good faith, with solidarity for trans, non-binary and intersex people across Bristol and the wider region, and hope for a constructive way forward.
