Queer joy requires risk and trust.
Trans and queer fats find joy standing in celebration with (and as witnesses for) ourselves and those like us.
In this discussion fat queer & fat trans writers explore centering our:
fat queer pride
fat queer love
fat queer strength
fat queer vulnerability
fat queer empathy
fat queer kindness
fat queer friendship
fat queer adventure
fat queer laughter
fat queer trust
fat queer joy
and our queer and trans fatness on the page and in our lives.
