Pride London Didn't Think Through Bathroom Issues

In what probably should be a lesson to city Pride organizations everywhere, Pride London failed to communicate policies regarding trans people's restroom rights to independent contractors at an event that had 875,000 attendees and participants, and the result of that failure to plan resulted in a post-operative woman of trans history being denied access to a women's restroom, a protest by trans people against Pride London that turned violent, and deteriorated relations between trans people and Pride London, as well as deteriorated relations between trans people and London police.
