Pxssy Palace has made a name for itself as an all-inclusive London club night run by women which prioritises the safety and fun of its clientele. Its latest move has been to offer free taxis home for trans feminine people of colour.

Trans people of colour are often the target of hate crime and abusive behaviour and the move has been greeted with positivity from the community.

Nadine Artois, one of the founders of the club night, said that they believe club nights have a “responsibility” to look after their guests.

“Our policy and the tools we use to implement it is how we fight against sexual harassment and violence,” she said.

“Trans femmes of colour are the most at risk to these forms of abuse so now that we have substantial, regular guests and followers we are in a position to offer our most vulnerable guests a safer way to travel home.”

Stonewall research in 2017 found that one in three LGBTQ+ people of colour has experienced a hate crime in comparison to one in five white LGBTQ+ people.

Additional research into the trans experience released in January of this year found that more than two out of five trans people avoid certain streets to stay safe and almost half fear or avoid using public restrooms due to assault.
