We Happy Trans*: A Video Online Community of Positive Experiences

by: The Qu

We Happy Trans* is a collaboration of videos of reflecting positive experience of Trans* people. WHT has a seven question project in which they have created a list of questions for all their followers. The videos are intimate and a great view into a personal view of gender identity. Here is some more information via the site.

We Happy Trans was created so that trans people could share stories of positive experiences, so the wider world could see that, like any other community, we too thrive, struggle, and overcome; to give further evidence that we too have writers magically shaping words to reflect and elevate shared human experience, and eloquent speakers calling to the better angels of our nature; that we too have bold, visible heroes, as well as quiet warriors or ordinary life; that we too laugh, cry, gossip and occasionally engage in petty squabbles; that we are Christians, Jews, Muslims, atheists, pagans, Buddhists, Hindus, Theosophists, magical panty wearing Mormons, and seekers; we read Shakespeare and watch reality t.v.; occupy queer neighborhoods, small towns, dance halls, local pubs, schools, offices, theaters, prisons, NPOs, nursing homes, hunting parties and coffee klatches in every conceivable place on earth, and possibly beyond; that we are parents, friends, children, second-cousins once-removed, neighbors, strangers, lovers and mortal enemies; that we too are every possible variation of X-sexual; are freaks, utter bores, hysterically funny, plain odd, droll, absurdist and everything between; that we contain multitudes.

  1. Thank you for sharing our project! If anyone is interested in contributing to the 7 Questions Project, simply post your response online and send me a link (jen@wehappytrans.com), or email me your written post.

    I’m hearing from many people that these videos are a helpful reminder that being trans can be an affirming and wonderful experience, so please do participate if you can, or at least watch and spread the word.

    We’re also encouraging everyone to share their positive news and stories online by using the tag #wehappytrans on Twitter or WeHappyTrans on Tumblr, so that others can see some hope.

    Thanks!

    Jen
