Hi there!
I’m Grai, part of the organising team at Leeds First Friday (LFF), the UK's largest trans+ social and National Diversity Awards 2024 Finalists. LFF is not only one of the most active trans+ socials in the UK, but arguably one of the most vibrant anywhere in the world! Every month, 150 to 350 of you join us in the wonderfully welcoming city of Leeds, and our community keeps growing. With dedicated newcomer meetups, cocktail socials, group meals, and daytime taproom tours, there’s always something happening under the LFF umbrella. And trust me, there’s more to come! 🤩.
LFF has been going strong for 15 years in its current form, but trans+ meetups in Leeds date all the way back to 1975. A series of amazing people—Susan Platt, Cindy Lopez, Rachel Leeds, Tanya Carr, Janie Marie Swann, and many others—have shaped and nurtured Leeds First Friday over the years, welcoming newcomers and building a supportive community. What started as a small pub quiz meetup at the Old Red Lion has now expanded to 16+ inclusive venues across the city, hosting hundreds of trans+ people, along with their partners, families, and friends, from all over the UK and beyond. Today, we have teams of people hosting events and offering support online, making LFF the incredible community it is today—and you’re more than welcome to be a part of it.
If you haven’t been out publicly before, you might be feeling a bit anxious about transphobia, appearance, or just the logistics of it all. You’re not alone. Many of us, including myself (I remember being a bundle of nerves and excitement on my first LFF), had those same worries. But those concerns can turn into a journey of discovery and joy. So, please, reach out to me with any questions or worries you have—I’m here to help. You can also join our Discord and Facebook groups to see what’s happening and connect with others before the event. There’s plenty of help, advice, and a bit of fun too. There’s no pressure to attend LFF, and you might find that what’s been worrying you isn’t such a big deal after all. 😌
If you’ve been out before, grab your bags, head to leedsfirstfriday.com for the latest info, and we’ll see your fabulous self there very soon! 🤩

Now on to the silly part of the profile...
Being non-binary and part of the wider trans space is so deeply infused. I love it! I am very proud and privileged to be part of this incredible community. It's like a super power! (Cue stirring orchestral music... 🎶mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 🎶).

Lips - Super tasty like sweet sweet strawberry. Oh my god.
Hair - Sleek tousled wisps. Pure. Platinum. Playfu… Hang on my eyelash is caught. There we go. Where were we?
Skin - Shimmery. Soft. Like a sweet little cute baby dolphin. Mmmmmm.

Okay, enough. Your coffee is getting cold. You may have moved on from coffee at this point...I don't blame you.🍸🥳 Let's wrap this shiz...
I love, love music! Loud! Shake you to your core!!! Dance, House, and D'n'B in particular. Have been known to party long after the chemically-enriched have fallen by the way side. Slackers. 🙌
I love getting to know other amazing people across the whole trans+ community (so many, it's quite breath-taking) and I'm lucky to count many as good friends. I find it insightful, thought-provoking and probably the most genuine aspect of my life. One day all of this will be widely accepted/widely ignored and we can all live our lives a little easier.

Take good care of yourselves, and hopefully see you around. Oh and come to LFF. It’s awesome.
