took my trans femme kid to a corset fitting. who needs bras at 19 when you can jump straight to corsets? it was an absolute blast watching her get giddy at seeing herself AS herself for maybe the first time ever. i cannot imagine being a parent and choosing to deny my kid, and myself!, that joy.

It’s my birthday today! 🎉 If you see this post, can you share it? My husband and I have a project live on Kickstarter right now (It’s a collaborative queer historical art zine!) 🏳️‍🌈 Here it is! www.kickstarter.com/projects/tap... (My art + some mockups~)

Hey kiddos! Let's talk about surviving the everything! Do you have a community of people you can go hang out with sometime? Do you have someone to check on? & someone to check on you? Do you have something that brings you joy that you can do with others? These lil things will help! #trans #joy

Talk about your joy so others know it’s possible.

Joy has been, and will always be, essential to our work. Today we remember that finding joy in community and connection is an essential form of resistance.

if you're feeling helpless this morning (or any), a bit of advice: make a real thing and give it to someone. darn a sock, make a call, fold a piece of sturdy paper into a card, etc. and then hand it over. we shape the lives of the people around us. we are all capable of forcing the arc.

January's trans joy newsletter will be dropping tomorrow morning! Subscribe now and tell your friend who's been feeling down so they can get in on the goodness <3 transjoy.ghost.io #TransJoy #TransCreator #TransNewsletter #AmplifyJoy

Oh no edit function on posts, how I love thee...

And every trans person that comes after me is a hero to me too! One of the greatest joys that trans people experience is seeing other trans people taking steps to be who they are! Seeing trans joy in others (and gender euphoria exists even in dark times) is life giving to other trans people!

Trans Joy!

I think the trans joy we all speak so dearly of is just the joy of existence in general. Euphoria comes from being yourself, yes, however it comes from us finding a life worth living. Basically, cis people are usually miserable because they don't see the inherent love within our existence.

My favorite example of pleasure activists in action right now are the folks at @smittenkittenmn.bsky.social in Minneapolis.
