Trans Joy Camp
Gaea Retreat Center 25110 235th St, McLouth, KS, United StatesIn the Spring of 2023, there was a stir in the transgender community of Kansas City.A rise in anti-trans legislation coincided with Transgender Day of Visibility, leading trans people to take to the streets and raise their voices in defiance of what felt like an unstoppable wave of oppression. The power was palpable.However, it left some of us wondering - when do we get to rest? When every day feels like a battle,it can be hard to enjoy the simple things - like a warm spring day in the park.In this spirit, the first Trans Joy in the Park event was formed. It was a place for us to come together andjust be in all our gender-bending glory. Over a hundred people of transgender experience showed up to this first event,and Trans Joy KC was born. Since then, we have expanded our mission to improving the quality of lifefor trans & gender-nonconforming folks of all ages living in the Kansas City area through community connection.
