A little more about me.

CJ Kitten Miller is a white, intersex, non-binary trans femme artist and educator. Her work as a poet, illustrator, dancer, musician, and organizer collectively focus on themes of trans liberation, societal examination, and politicized self-evaluation to dismantle systemic oppression. A graduate of the USC School of Cinema - Critical Studies division with course investment in Anthropology, her education works also integrates the invaluable lived experience of existing as a critical intersex trans woman and years of experience in queer BDSM community. 

She is the co-creator of soyouthink.org a website and distributable pamphlet on expanding gender education and trans sensitivity basics. The pamphlet and additional art from CJ were featured in Save Art Space’s Queer Futures (2020)  exhibit which utilized billboards as exhibition space throughout Los Angeles. She has worked with organizations such as the LA LBGT Center, The Feminist Center for Creative Work (previously WCCW), Junior High, and UCLA to present educational workshops and public art projects for trans + queer community advocacy. In 2018 she created Self Portrait, a wealth redistribution/body empowerment initiative providing direct financial aid to trans community by way of cis community. To acquire the funding, the project used screen-prints of her illustration Self Portrait 1 which contains imagery of a gender non-conforming trans feminine body. CJ is a co-founder and organizer for Presence, a bi-annual all ages queer/trans/enby/GNC/intersex community and artist focus event based out of North East Los Angeles.

For several years as a dance instructor with PonySweat and as the frontperson for their principal music project dimber, CJ has carved out unique spaces to provide trauma-informed gender & sexuality education beyond traditional classroom and workshop settings. With this goal at it’s center she is the founder and lead instructor for Leo Moon, a movement class aimed at creating liberated space for trans, non-binary, intersex, & GNC bodies to heal collective and individual trauma through dance. She has also worked as a Gender & Sexuality consultant with individual screenwriters, business entities, and her most recent film work on the production of Hellraiser (Hulu & Spyglass Media).  CJ has contributed interviews, reviews, and opinion pieces to Autostraddle, TransLash Media, Razorcake Magazine, Maximum Rocknroll, and New Noise Magazine. Their most recent poetry collection LipsTick Volume 3, a diary and emotional outpouring of intersex, trans femme history and experience, was self released in 2022. She is the founder and a current curator for Trans + Queer Poetry Night, a recurring performance event held at Junior High. In 2021 CJ partnered with Branca Studio to create Trans Magick, a pin-up poster aimed at transgender empowerment and a subversion of predominant cisheteronormative occult imagery with all proceeds going to benefit the Trans Latin@ Coalition. They are also a certified Intimacy Coordinator, trained through SAG accredited Centaury Co.
