It would rather be "Ta tristesse est ma joie".
In french, most of nous related to feelings ("tristesse" (sorrow), "rage" (rage), "colère" (wrath), "envie" (envy), "joie" (joy)...) are feminine.
But this is not always the case (ta bravoure (f), ton courage (m)). Noun genders are quite tricky.

But this is not always the case (ta bravoure (f), ton courage (m)). Noun genders are quite tricky.
The only rule (with a few exceptions) is that words constructed from others by the addition of either a prefix or suffix inherit the gender of the base word ("desespoir" (despair) is masculine like "espoir" (hope)).
But for the base word... well, french inherits a lot of words from ancient latin and greek, and a bit less from ancient german. So it's easier if you have learns at last one of these.
The rest is... practice, practice, and more practice.
Giving a neutral gender to any nonliving object by default in english is purely cheating, I say. ^_^
