What’s Giving Us Trans Joy This Week?

Well, it’s been another hard week for us (when isn’t it?) There was the hopeful Alabama news, followed by the devastating Tennessee news. 

So once more, I’m inviting you to join me in accentuating the positive. This week, we were infused with trans joy several times over. Here are a few highlights. 

We celebrated the birthday of an icon:

We were reminded of how much awesome art is being made by trans folks right now:

We got dragged (playfully) by the group chat:

We were reminded that the kids are indeed alright:

a queer youth just literally told me, “sexuality isn’t sexual”

And that we need to show up for the kids so that they can stay that way.

Lastly, a “Sour” moodboard to celebrate the release of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Sour,” possibly the gayest album to ever be made by a non-gay person:

Now we’re sliding into the weekend like a dancing Toni Collette,
