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

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 🏳️‍⚧️

🏳️‍⚧️The Trans* Theology Group are looking for your help!🏳️‍⚧️

For Trans* Day of Visibility 2025, the Trans* Theology Group are looking for participants to help them in making a short video to recognise the joy in being trans* and Christian. Want to know more? Swipe to find out!
A light pink background with dark pink text. The text reads 'Trans* Day of Visibility 2025'. There is a drawing of a person holding a sign that says 'visibility and joy'. The person has a headband on and a scarf on which are both in the pattern of the transgender pride flag. For Trans* Day of Visibility, the wonderful Trans* Theology Group are looking for trans*, non-binary, and genderqueer Christians to create a short video focused on the joy of being trans*. With a variety of ways to get involved, we hope to hear from as many people as possible! Interested in getting involved? On A4 paper, write a short answer to the question ‘what gives you trans* joy?’. You can leave this anonymous, or share some brief identifiers with you answer. For example; Soph, she/they, PhD Student. Take a short 5 second video of the paper. You can be holding it, or you can place it somewhere in your home or outside to film it. Just make sure it is filmed in portrait! Finally, email your clip to transtheologygroup@movement.org.uk by 20th March and let them know that you’re happy with your clip to be shared across SCM’s social media pages.

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.

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
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.
