Hundreds of people will attend a transgender event in Dublin today.
The second annual Trans Pride rally will start in the Garden of Remembrance at noon.
It will highlight the transgender community's opposition to 'oppressive and gender norms in society'.
Organiser, Thomas White, expects at least a thousand people to attend.
He says the event was organised for the first time last year because they felt their was a need for a parade for trans people organised by trans people.
Thomas says it's a 'grassroots community led protest' that puts the needs of trans people first.
