John Of Arc, Portrayed With Top Surgery Scars

John of Arc, Portrayed with Top Surgery Scars

Based on the 1903 Engraving by Albert Lynch

This piece was inspired by an anonymous message I received: “ The history of Joan of Arc’s life has a lot of trans themes that many people overlook—dressing and presenting as a man was very important to Joan, not just in order to lead the French military but also in Joan’s personal life. It ultimately led to Joan’s execution because Joan couldn’t agree to not wear men’s clothes in exchange for only a life sentence in prison. I think Joan of Arc’s story of bravery is really inspiring, and I think it’s amazing that there is a (possibly) trans saint, so that could be an idea for you to consider for your artwork 💕 ”

Thank you for the support and love, I love receiving messages like this from people who have personal/emotional connections with classical and religious art figures. I grew up Jewish so I don’t have much experience researching saints, I would have never known the complexity of Joan of Arc’s gender identity had I not received this message!

leaving Mormonism taught me to ALWAYS DISREGUARD anyone telling you to not inform yourself about what the opposition thinks and believes. that’s a cult tactic.

anyway I’m really mad that it took me so long to recognize “terf” block lists for being this exact thing.

Merry Christmas Jo!

Can we all wish JK Rowling a happy Christmas this year please. Like can it be a thing. Let’s all wish JK a happy Christmas, on December 25th.

I have several college degrees and this Tumblr post just explained how to search a database with far more clarity than any of my professors ever did. Keep all this in mind for EBSCOhost, Pubmed, ScienceDirect etc. if you happen to be writing any research papers.

I wish that ao3 had an option to filter warnings (and tbh certain authors) out like I will never ever want to read it and just seeing it puts me off so much that often I end up closing my browser because that content upsets me so much lmao

As if I haven't password shared seven other streaming platforms with friends and family. Good luck Netflix.

Yeah guys, great job

Saw that coming. I grew up with 4 neurodivergent siblings so if there is one thing I know about myself, its that I'm as neurotypical as they come! Seriously, tho, what is with the worm question?

This is such an interesting quiz and subject all around, though! I wonder how people of different age groups score, because I feel like I would have had very different answers to a lot of those questions ten years ago.

i did the EQ test n i got 46/80 this sounds great
