Back from Manchester Pride, and getting round to writing this has been difficult. I had a fantastic time despite warnings that I would be the only trans person there at times which wasn't true. I arrived before even the fringe started. I actually spent a day shy of 2 weeks out and loved every minute of it.
I'll post in a bit more detail about what I saw with plenty of pictures and what I did each day, but as a taster here's an idea of what happened.
First I saw my friends at various points and I hope they enjoyed themselves as much as I did.
I had some counselling at the LGF which was a great help. I had never spent so long out and I was hoping to learn more about myself. Sort of related was a palm reading. I drank more than usual, but avoided getting drunk. Saw and heard some great live music. Met some wonderful people and made a new friend. Did lots of shopping and spent to much. Took 3 trips outside the City of Manchester which were interesting for me.
The one thing I can say is those 2 weeks were one of the best times I've had and I feel really sad that it's all over. What wasn't good was my feet swelled up.
