In a time of backlash and reactionary politics, spaces like Ten Oaks give me hope. Places where kids and families can be proud of who they are, where we can experience joy and community and where queer and trans kids and families are always affirmed and loved. www.tenoaksproject.org

""In this powerful and deeply personal part of the episode, we dive into the heart of queer organizing in conservative spaces"

Just a reminder, trans men are cool as hell and deserve respect and joy. Masc trans men, feminine trans men, trans men who pass, trans men who don’t pass, trans men who don’t want to pass, gay trans men, bi trans men, straight trans men. ALL of them. Trans men are men and we should be treated as men

The best thing on this app is seeing so many trans women and trans men living their best lives. Revelling in their new bodies and showing themselves to the world. It makes me so happy seeing their joy.

Our Community Market Joy for All is this Saturday, just four days away!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Our next artist is Robin Ilex Studios! They are a trans hand embroidery artist based in Glasgow. They also make scrunchies, reusable makeup wipes and other accessories, such as embroidered pride flag inspired pansy brooches

the unique trans experience of "im happier and more whole than I've ever been but have never had fewer people to share that joy with" is so backwards give a shit about your trans friends when they're metamorphosing. there's nothing to mourn, and it doesn't need to make sense to you

“At a recent trans rights conference in TX her assistant scheduled 30-min one-on-one chats w/any attendee who wanted, a process that brings her joy. She shows younger ppl what’s possible, that you can be a Black trans person who has no desire to conform to gender norms & can survive to be an elder.”

Forgot to share that the Sept. issue is out!! This was such a gorgeous one to put together, ft. @moonyeka.bsky.social @blairingmysoul.bsky.social @sacredsapling.bsky.social and so many more! #TransJoy #TransArt #TransWriters #TransCommunity transjoy.ghost.io/i-hold-you-n...

The next issue of Amplifying Trans Joy comes out this Saturday. To my knowledge, this is the only newsletter dedicated to trans joy (by and for us) out there. Are you & your besties signed up? transjoy.ghost.io <3 #TransJoy #TransWriting #TransArt #TransCreative #TransCreator

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

#nashville friends, don’t miss this! We’ll have #zines and #stickers to share as well as good vibes and lots of #joy

To all trans and queer people reading this and our cis allies,

trans women helped me appreciate feminity. I think like most people who grew up femme, it becomes easy to resent signifiers of pink & girlishness as impositions of who you have to be, but seeing trans women embrace those same signifiers because they choose to returns the joy and beauty of pink to me

to all the wonderful trans women i follow here - thank you for being you. thank you for existing and continuing to exist. thank you for sharing both your struggles and joy. ya'll are amazing, beautiful, strong, wonderful, and a true insipration to me. ya'll help keep me going. 💕💜🏳️‍⚧️

Happy Latine Heritage Month! 🎉 For many TNBGNC people of Latin American + Hispanic descent, this time holds both pride + celebration and reminders of trauma + erasure.

We *need* to see trans joy celebrated like we need air, honestly

another day, another reminder than I think trans people deserve to experience joy, safety and for people to respect the gender they feel they are

I think I found one of the best songs for trans masculine/trans man representation, and it’s sung by Miku! 🥰🩷🤍🩵 It makes me feel like lyrics aren’t just for the song, but actually speaking to the listener. An unbridled joy of being secure of one’s identity, it’s so beautiful! youtu.be/4DN3tSdADc8

trans joy and gender euphoria is magical. I wouldn't trade it for anything. 💕

Somewhere in Iceland.

You might think the absolute fuck-assery of the world would make me want to crawl into a hole and die, but you’d be wrong! It makes me want to crawl into a hole and emerge with more books about trans joy. 🤷‍♀️

So yes. There will be trans joy, trans sorrow, trans friendship, trans grief there will be transgender people far, far into the future, as there has been far, far into our histories, even now. There will be trans lives lived, trans lives taken, and even so Trans love persists. We will be here.

Queerly beloved, I know things are scary out there, and I'm not going to tell you not to be concerned. Don't forget, tho, that there are lots of your fellow queerdos out there doing great things. Trans joy is revolutionary Prepare for the storm, but hold on to the good

Happy Friday, nice folks. I would like to present you with a world in which a trans woman is loved and supported and gets to fight monsters and save folks. My trans magical girl novel “Magica Riot” is in ebook, print, and audio formats. And there’s a sequel coming soon. magicariot.com/magicariot

trans joy is revolutionary 🏳️‍⚧️💖🏳️‍⚧️

Trans joy is forever, and nobody can take it away

✨ #TransJoy #Community ✨ "My trans friends bring joy, kindness, and light into my life" Tens of thousands of cis women are refusing to be silent - rising together against the Labour Government, EHRC, NHS, and British media’s cruel attacks on trans people THIS is what solidarity and love is #NION

also remember trans joy is the greatest weapon against fascism. they can never take away our joy and that deflates them. we're here forever and our spirit will not be broken.

In Trans Poetic Manifesto Joy Ladin says: “Trans poetics transform…the impossibility of self into affirmation, exposition, industrial revolution, a massive conspiracy, a door, a window, a wrinkle in time, a sob on tiptoe, a song that is singing us.” Thank you for your attention to this matter.

They used the simplest terms. The terms of a three year old. Orla said, “I’m not a boy or a girl.” I thought they were saying, “I’m both/and.” Which is to say, I’m like you. But I was wrong. gender-defiant.ghost.io/the-limits-o... #protecttranskids #lgbtq #transgender #lgbtparents #transjoy

Trans joy is existing

She’s finally here, home safe 🥹 “And for all who travel the path that Marsha P. Johnson paved with her life, thank you for carrying forward the gift of her legacy.” Go treat yourself to a copy, get one for a loved one. Clear the path, carry forward, sibs 🏳️‍⚧️🦄🪅💃🏾 @tourmaliiine.bsky.social 💙📚

Frankly, I want trans women to win more. In all areas of life. I want you to be safe, comfortable, at peace. At all times. I want you to be deeply fulfilled and happy. Listened to. Cared for. With space to create, to build. Not out of pain, but joy. I want the goddamn pain to fade.
