We need to talk about something super important—trans joy and trans needs.
At Queer Connect KC, we believe that trans people aren’t just a part of the community, they’re essential to its vibrancy and strength. From the activism that pushes us toward a more inclusive city, to the art, music, and culture that makes Kansas City so special, trans and non-binary folks are a cornerstone of everything that makes this city feel alive.
But here's the thing: Trans joy—the joy of simply being who we are—is something that’s too often under threat. We’re still fighting for healthcare that affirms us, safe housing, fair employment, and a world where we can walk down the street without fear. And that’s why the City of Kansas City needs your input on the Trans Needs Assessment.
This survey isn’t just about collecting data. It’s about giving trans and non-binary people the chance to share what we need to live healthy, joyful, and safe lives in Kansas City. It’s about making sure that the city has a clear understanding of the issues we face, and that they can do better in meeting our needs. It’s about lifting our voices so that trans joy can flourish in every corner of KC.
