You created this excellent website called We Happy Trans. Wanna tell these folks what that is?

It would be my pleasure! Simply put, it's a place for sharing positive trans experiences. The majority of the content on the site is from the 7 Question Project, which asks trans people to submit their responses, in writing or on a video, to a set of questions designed to frame experience positively, such as, "Who has been most supportive of your transition?" or "What are you doing to make the changes you'd like to see in the world?"

How did the site come about?

The full story stems from the tragic narratives I encountered before transition and how my own experiences diverged from them. In short, though, I was complaining on Twitter that there weren't any positive stories about trans people online. A friend challenged me to do something about it. So I did.
