I’m located on Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam lands, also known as Vancouver, BC. Born and raised in Singapore, I am of mixed-class and Indonesian and Chinese heritage, the proud ethnic group Nyonya Babas of the Southeast Asias. I am the first Asian trans man to come out in the then gay and lesbian community in Vancouver, BC, 2001, and I am a wizard, a spiritual teacher, artist, goldsmith, writer, and performer. In 2008, I created Happy Tranny Day, the first ever trans celebration in the world, and it became Gender Euphoria Day after. And soon after, calls from various organizations and organizers in New York, Toronto, Australia called to talk about this amazing possibility. And by 2015, TDOV—Trans Day of Visibility—showed up as a new celebration in North America. I have no obvious proof, but many who showed up to the OG event now know that TDOV was clearly the next generation of Happy Tranny Day. Promoting trans happiness was the only mission of Happy Tranny Day. And now, my next production, Queer Spirit Circle and Queer Spirit Fair, has the same mission: spreading queer joy. I have experienced the hatred and oppressiveness of having a multiple intersectional reality, and my spiritual lessons do not spiritually bypass, nor are they socially ignorant or irresponsible. Marginalized folks desire a spiritual connection that is non-colonial, non-appropriative, nor, or should it be inaccessible. I ensure my work is grounded in reality, and still gives folks access to spirit. I am a soul in an Asian human body. I am trans as the English language determines. However, trans is not who I am, nor is my body who I am. I am love, joy, and magic, and so much more. My sole purpose this lifetime is to remind us all that beyond all the constructs of gender, race, and any other divisive situations, like the ongoing woke discussions and fights, we can breathe, pause, look deeply into each other's eyes, open our hearts, and to see each other’s light. To spread our energy in connection with others, and to choose to love more deeply, speak and live more truly to our soul's expression, and to shine, to teach others that we can truly live from choice, love, and joy. I know that the new generation of queers are here to help this planet and the humans evolve into much more love, respect for the earth, joy, and connection to all. And may we always live from our hearts.

I’m a Chinese transmasculine person in their late 20s. Both these descriptors poke at some discomfort. For one, I’m not always pegged as Chinese, so at times I spiral wondering if I grew up around less white people and speaking the language, maybe my face would look different or maybe I could have more claim to my Chinese-ness (it’s not logical). Secondly, labels, gender, and language are so limiting and this doesn’t feel like the perfect word but it’s something that people have come to understand. I’m sitting in the living room of the house I have lived in for the past five years. It looks bare compared to before. Up until recently, this room belonged to a dear friend. We’re still adjusting to being cities apart. And I’m still learning what it means to make a home. Perched on the backrest of a big blue chair, leaning towards the camera, chin resting on my left palm while the other drapes over my knee. Behind me is a painting by a friend, a patterned abstract piece that resembles a wall of fungi. I’m wearing a black fabric harness that another friend helped make. I owe so much to my loved ones. Despite being exhausted by the ongoings of life, excitement fills me too. I hope we can become old and laugh about hard learned stories over our thousandth last cigarette.
