JOY IS…
volunteering at Trans Pride Brighton. Seeing my children’s books in the wild on a shop shelf. Sharing a meal with my chosen family and spending time with their cats.
Trans Joy is the 10 years I’ve spent helping to organise Trans Pride Brighton. It has been the most difficult thing I’ve ever done and the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. Every year I cry with joy when I see thousands of people on the protest march and I’m overwhelmed with happiness seeing the community connect and grow together.
In a world that often struggles to fully embrace diversity and inclusion, ‘Beyond the Binary – The Spectrum Of Trans Joy’ is a project dedicated to fostering social cohesion and visibility for the trans and intersex community. This fresh initiative from the award-winning queer photographer Chris Jepson seeks to empower and celebrate the trans+ community by showcasing authentic joy through a captivating series of individual and group portraits.
