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!

ran into this on tik tok and am floored by the resounding power of female solidarity

This perfectly sums up the disrespect so many men and boys show towards women in what are often considered to be "socially acceptable ways".

I thank the lord most days that I'm a nurse and most of my coworkers are females for so many reasons, the fact that my coworkers will never use my fears/phobias against me is just another one to add to the list.

It's monstrous how much boys and men love tormenting girls and women. The way so many boys and men actually love scaring and upsetting girls and women on purpose because they think it's funny.

I'm thinking specifically about how I have some phobias of bugs, and I specifically have to hide that from men because once they find out they purposely show me the bugs I'm afraid of to torment me because they think it's funny and cute to torment and upset a woman. Like when one of my male co-workers at my old job found out I was arachnophobic after that he made a point of if he found a spider in the store he'd purposely try to shove it in my face because he thought it was funny and cute to scare me and make me upset. I've had multiple instances of grown male co-workers behaving like this but never a grown female co-worker. Sure, I'm sure there's at least a few grown women in the world out there like that, but for the most part this behavior is only seen in small girls but quickly corrected and beat out of her while men are still tormenting women for fun as grown adults.

Or my mother has a pretty bad phobia of frogs, and she told me a story about how when she was a little girl some boys found out, and they specifically made it a point to collect frogs from outside to throw at her. One time they cornered her in the bathroom and threw buckets of frogs at her, she was sobbing and shaking and having a full blown panic attack while they were laughing. It was for no other reason than they thought it was funny to make a girl upset and scared.

And this ties in with how often if a girl or woman asks a boy or man to stop doing something that bothers her or annoys her they double down and start doing the behavior even more just because they want to upset girls and women. Like schoolgirls asking the boy next to her to stop drumming with his pencils because it's distracting her from being able to pay attention to class, how likely is it he'll actually stop vs just doing it even more loudly and frequently just to bother her? If this is a lifelong pattern for girls this makes girls back off and less likely to stand up to boys and men.

If a girl has for years had a pattern of every time she asks the boys in her class to stop drumming with their pencils while she's trying to pay attention or stop saying gross sexual jokes that make her uncomfortable to her during class or stop poking her and every time they just double down and start doing it even more and even louder or harder just to upset her, is she going to keep asking boys to stop doing things that bother her? Is she going to feel comfortable and safe standing up for herself and asserting her boundaries? Or is she going to get quiet and stop speaking up and hope for the love of god they don't notice the annoyance on her face because if they do that's enough just to make them double down and start doing it more to bother her?

I've seen countless examples of men purposely making women so scared or upset or angry that they're in tears for no other reason than fun and entertainment. Boys and men are fucking sadistic demons. And this keeps girls and women in line, keeps girls and women from being able to stand up for ourselves and assert our personal boundaries to boys and men.

This is just ridiculous. I understand the need for dress codes and establishing a professional environment, but if we are actually serious about abolishing gender roles, the rules for dressing for any profession need to be 2 things: practical, and gender neutral.

By practical, I mean that the clothing should make sense for the career and the environment it is performed in. For example, it makes sense that nurses/healthcare workers wear scrubs because they are comfy and easy to move in, and it also makes sense that they ask nurses not to wear long necklaces or lots of accessories because of the risk for those items to get caught on equipment or to carry pathogens place to place. I also mean practical to include affordable and accessible, which is to say that if a job requires formal business wear, there should be no issues with someone showing up in a suit from Kohl's. People are always welcome to spend more money on work clothing if they want to, but they shouldn't have to. Looking at the nursing/healthcare example, employees can choose to buy their scrubs at Walmart, or to pay a little more at a scrubs store for slightly better quality ones, or to really splurge on websites like Figs. But as long as they are the right color, scrubs are scrubs. Finally, practical might include using uniforms to make a place more organized and efficient. You see this in Healthcare and how many hospital systems assign one color for nurses scrubs, another for nursing assistants, another for people drawing labs etc. It helps everyone quickly identify the role of another person, makes it easier to find who you are looking for, and thus makes communication between specialties more efficient.

Gender neutral: so let's start with the Missouri lawmakers dress code prior to this most recent change, which had stated that women should wear "dresses or skirts or slacks worn with a blazer or sweater and appropriate dress shoes or boots" which sounds like a fairly normal dress code to me, but what if this were the code applied to both men and women? How would it change? And what can we do to accommodate the comfort and practicality of both genders by providing more specific language that doesn't discriminate based on the male or female body? I think it's perfectly appropriate to say that your top should cover your chest and midriff in a professional environment, because frankly, I don't want to see male or female chests and stomachs in an environment that is supposed to be for lawmaking. I don't really think jackets or cardigans should be required at all, regardless of gender. The rules should be written plainly and should make it clear that the same rule applies to everyone. Instead of "No skin tight shirts for women", the rule would just be "clothing should fit appropriately (for everyone)." The only exception to gender neutral language would be to list how pregnant women can be accommodated for any policies that might be affected by a growing belly, and how she might be compensated financially if she has to buy maternity work clothes.

I understand the need for a dress code and preventing *that one guy* from showing up in pajamas or a sequined ballgown, etc. But I think practical, gender neutral guidelines would lead to a less stereotypical work environment that allows for people to look professional and show some self-expression without being the center of attention.

Lawmakers in Wyoming, which until recently was on the stricter side of the spectrum, voted last year to strip its dress code down to the basics: Members must dress in "business attire befitting the decorum of the house." Bolo ties are allowed, denim is not.

Legislators had initially set out to align the requirements for men and women, but decided to go in a simpler direction by essentially copying the dress code New Mexico implemented in 2009.
