In a week where the people behind Manchester Pride were in voluntary insolvency citing costs of putting on the events, meeting modern expectations I feel it is worth saying maybe it's best to support your local pride such as those we had in Stafford and Stoke here in Staffordshire and Sandbach and Congleton in nearby Cheshire and maybe get involved doing something for it like running a store or performing.
There is life beyond your day at Pride though, for your own mental well being we need to find ways however difficult your own circumstances to be ourselves be they about our gender expression or how our sexuality presents itself.
Even if you do dress more in line with your gender, constraints around works dress policy or the increased trend to leggings, jeans and women's trousers may cut across what feels right for you.
You may be more dressy, like your heels so having spaces and being prepared where you can to stand out from the crowd rather than just fitting in is so much better,
That might well be a personal manifesto.
