2022 Rally
The 2022 Trans+ Pride rally was the first ever Trans Pride event in Cork. With the theme "Pride is a Protest", the event was organised in full in less than 10 days.
In June 2022, RTÉ held a 3-day debate on Joe Duffy's Liveline on transgender rights - yet another attempt to debate our existence in national media. It was these sets of debates that prompted us to launch Trans+ Pride Cork in response.
The event was a great success with speakers including:
Saoirse Mackin (Co-Founder, Trans+ Pride Cork)
Louise O Donnell (Co-Founder, Trans+ Pride Cork)
Ollie Bell (Co-Founder, Trans & Intersex Pride Dublin)
Jack Fitzgerald (Founder, Gender Rebels Cork)
Leighanna Rose Walsh (Gender Rebels Cork)
Julka Taylor (Poet)
and a number of national media organisations in attendance.
A video of the event will be made available soon, we are currently in the final stages of production with it.
