Gender Euphoria is an annual celebration of the lives of transgendered, transsexual, gender-variant, and genderqueer folk, as well as those of our partners and allies.

We started Gender Euphoria to remind the world that you can be anywhere on the gender spectrum and still be happy. And you can love people anywhere on the spectrum and still be happy. So put away that old DVD of The Crying Game, pause your Boys Don't Cry torrent, and come on down for festive funness.

Admission is by donation; give what you feel comfortable giving, whatever that might be. There are fantastic door prizes, all the activities inside are free, and the food will only no longer cost a dollar because a kind donor wants to keep the fun inclusive and accessible to all, but remember, seating is limited -- if you want a seat, you should come early.

Since we're aiming to make this event accessible to all, we've considered issues of physical accessibility. Heritage Hall is a wheel-chair accessible venue, and the primary entrance to the event will be the accessible entrance, a few meters to the south of the main doors with steps.

Gender Euphoria is an annual festival that celebrates the lives of trans, genderqueer, and gender-variant people. We started Gender Euphoria as a counterpoint to the Trans Day of Remembrance. While it's important to remember all the bad things that can happen to those of us who live several standard deviations from the cookie-cutter norm, it's also important to exercise our ability to have fun.

Gender Euphoria, originally called "Happy Tranny Day" debuted in 2008, as the brainchild of a couple of local transmen. They noticed that often conversations in trans communities, and activities that bring us together, are about the challenges we face in the world. Also, they saw that different parts of trans communities aren't often in contact with one another. He wanted there to be a place for us all to come together to play, have fun, celebrate who we are! They saw that there's loads of great stuff about being trans - we're strong, courageous and creative people, and we can offer a heck of a lot to one another to the world. So, a group of us came together put "Happy Tranny Day" it was full of warmth and fantastic energy.

Gender Euphoria Day is a committee of British Columbia's Trans Alliance Society, For More info check out the event's website.
