Trans Joy Week
We need trans joy right now, as well as community and art! I'd like to encourage people to depict trans joy in their art.This 18+ event is for works of fiction where a trans character experiences joy. It doesn't have to be about being trans - they could be joyful about intimacy with a partner or some nice food. All fanfiction and original works are accepted.This event is inclusive of "dead dove" and other commonly frowned-upon tropes such as underage kink, misgendering kink, etc. We want ALL types of works about trans joy!Trans Joy Week 2025 is June 15-21.

Answer 1: June 15-21, 2025!Question 2: What if I don't have time to write a whole fic?

Answer 4: Absolutely! Trans Joy Week is about the characters experiencing trans joy.Question 5: Do the trans characters have to be their canon gender (ex. trans man Xie Lian, who is a cis man in canon), or can they transition away from it (ex. trans woman Xie Lian)?
