We attended a powerful Trans gathering in Uganda under the theme "Trans Joy as Revolutionary Infrastructure".
The convening highlighted trans joy as a form of resistance and survival, emphasizing that joy is not separate from struggle but deeply rooted in it. It created space for reflection on healing justice, collective care, and the importance of building supportive communities where transgender and gender-diverse people can heal, connect, and thrive.
Key Themes Discussed
- Trans joy as resistance and survival
- Healing justice practices for trans communities
- Collective care as community infrastructure
- Building supportive networks for trans and gender-diverse people
"Joy is revolutionary. When trans people experience joy, we are resisting systems that tell us we don't deserve to be happy."
