In this Best Of episode of Sex Ed with DB, host D.B. centers trans joy, sex, and pleasure through two powerful conversations. The first features Jamie Joy, who introduces the concept of a 'language treasure chest'—a personal collection of body-part words that feel affirming and pleasurable, cultivated through somatic self-exploration. This practice empowers trans individuals to reclaim agency over their bodies and pleasure by rejecting prescribed language in favor of what truly resonates. The second segment highlights the viral comedy duo Elle Duran and Ezra Michelle, whose satirical video 'A Day in the Life of a Trans Couple' uses absurd humor to expose and dismantle harmful myths about trans people. They share how the video emerged from a traumatic online harassment campaign, transforming pain into creative resistance by reclaiming the narrative through laughter and self-awareness. The episode concludes with a call to action: listen to more trans voices, support trans creators, and recognize that trans lives are rich with joy, love, and everyday flourishing beyond activism or struggle.
Create a 'language treasure chest' by testing body-part words through somatic awareness to find those that feel affirming and pleasurable.
Approach intimacy with a 'beginner's mind'—curious, open, and free from preconceived notions about anatomy or gender.
Use humor and satire as tools of resistance and healing, especially when facing online hate or misinformation.
Trans joy and everyday life are not defined by trauma; trans people thrive in love, community, creativity, and pleasure.
Listening to trans voices—especially those who are funny, artistic, or simply living their lives—is a radical act of solidarity.
Introduction: Trans Joy in a Hostile Climate
“If you are trans, non-binary, or anywhere under the trans umbrella, we see you and you are not alone in this fight. You should not have to be the only people fighting for your rights and safety and happiness.”
Building a Language Treasure Chest
“Every time I find a word that I have either a positive or a neutral response to, I put those in my treasure chest because neutral isn't necessarily bad... we can still use that word.”
Affirming Your Partner: The Power of Beginner's Mind
“I approach a new person's body like it's a blank slate, a brand new canvas, and you're not bringing in all this baggage and all these expectations.”
Comedy as Resistance: The Viral Video
“We joke all day like about being like dirty, dirty transsexual. Yeah. Just to be like we, we, we, we everything they say about us, we do too. Just like, like just to because it's funny to us.”
Closing: Listening to Trans Voices
D.B. closes the episode by reinforcing that trans lives are full of joy, love, and everyday beauty. Listeners are encouraged to follow trans creators, support trans-led organizations, and simply listen more to trans voices as an act of solidarity and liberation.
“If you are trans, non-binary, or anywhere under the trans umbrella, we see you and you are not alone in this fight. You should not have to be the only people fighting for your rights and safety and happiness.”
“It's infuriating. There's no kind of like rationalizing this, like we're not going to ever be on the same page here because you are literally saying false things that are actively harmful and hurtful.”
“We joke all day like about being like dirty, dirty transsexual. Yeah. Just to be like we, we, we, we everything they say about us, we do too. Just like, like just to because it's funny to us.”
