JOY IS…
friends, love, nature, sunshine, yoga, meditation, tai chi, books and words, learning stuff, intersectional podcasts, vegan living, auDHDness, infodumping, compassion, social justice, big strong squeezy cuddles, sex, real conversations, music, my work and research.
Trans Joy is the pure and intense happiness, pride and peace of being myself and part of the beautiful, powerful and inspirational Trans community.
