✨🏳️‍⚧️ Trans* Joy 🏳️‍⚧️ ✨

As part of a service to mark the #TransDayOfVisibility, the SCM Trans* Theology Group asked - what brings you trans* joy?

Look out for the full service premiering at 12pm today over on our YouTube channel! buff.ly/tBJIHR3

a medieval manuscript style digital illustration. text at the bottom reads "god blessed me by making me transsexual for the same reason he made wheat but not bread and fruit but not wine: so that humanity might share in the act of creation. - julian k jarboe." in the center of the piece stands a trans person with top surgery scars, body hair, and facial hair. they are nude, with a red cloth partly draped over their body, and they hold a loaf of bread in one hand and a cup of wine in the other. in the dark blue background behind their head is a sun/halo and 5 stars, and on either side of them are stalks of wheat. there is an arched golden frame around them, and around this is an illuminated border of grapevines.

i had the idea for this piece last tdov but it didn't quite come together until now 🥖🍷 quote by Julian K Jarboe

We’d be very glad of anyone’s contributions!

My trans theology group are working on a project to celebrate trans Christian joy for trans day of visibility - if you’re at least vaguely trans and vaguely Christian, please share your joy with us! Details on how to contribute are on the original post 🏳️‍⚧️

I mean that same (mutual) friend also didn’t know about sheela na gigs, somehow

Have you finished it? I loved it!!

Text says: We need you! Trans Lives Survey 2024/25 Tell us about your experiences. We’ll use the results to advocate for trans people on a national level.

TransActual need to hear from you. The Trans Lives Survey 2024/25 is now open and your answers will be used to write a report (it will be anonymised don’t worry) that we can share with all sorts of people to help them understand what life is like for trans people in the UK today.

Lino print in black ink of Jesus on the cross, showing top surgery scars (periareolar with lateral incisions) in place of the traditional side wound.

A linoprint I’ve created of Jesus with his side wound interpreted as top surgery scars, inspired by Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin’s trans recreation of Caravaggio’s Incredulity of St Thomas

Delighted to have been able to contribute to this gorgeous resource of trans theology!

I think I go for bean (human being-human bean?) most often - ‘I’ve been a good bean’ or ‘I’ve been a very silly little bean’ (usually the latter)

I’m so glad! And thanks for the recommendation, it looks like a similar vibe to brede!

I often struggle to sit and read but I’m currently enjoying rereading in this house of brede (apologies if you already know it), low stakes but so subtle and insightful that I keep accidentally reading a hundred pages at once!

Yay!!

Carys, I have just put together your social media profile with you as the person I chatted to at greenbelt - I had no clue this was you!! Glad to have found you on here as well as in the field 😂

Besides the point but you’re only 22?? I’m 23 I can’t be older than you!
