Yes, "joy" has been adopted into the standard social justice lexicon. I'm positive they use it because it has some kind of linguistic weight in their minds. A common strategy is to use words that are ambiguous even in context, but which hint at some kind of sublime, inexpressible profundity (see: "liberation") to conceal their complete lack of rational discourse or evidence.They all copy each other’s language. I think it’s an autism thing.
In general, though, I find the whole thing weird. No doubt troons would tell me I don’t understand as a cis person, but this notion of just being joyous all the time because you’re your true self sounds unnatural. As Terry Pratchett put it, “Real children don’t go hoppity-skip unless they’re on drugs.”
If trans joy is a thing, why are they all so miserable all the time?
And I don't think this one originated with troons. I first became aware that some semantic bullshit was transpiring with "joy" during the 2020 campaign when some people made fun of Kamala Harris's awkward dancing, which precipitated a slew of opinion pieces about how white people hate displays of "black joy."
