The Trans Saints Project explores the history and legends of saints and figures who may be interpreted as trans today, with a book and a launch event. This is a 100% volunteer led project.

This event is for everyone - you do not have to be religious, LGBTQ, or academic to come and have a look.

There will be artwork on display, and writing to read, plus there will be workshops you can join if you like!

The Project hopes to prioritise the history of Trans Men and Trans Masculine Saints. This seems to be one of the major historical areas we see trans men and trans masc people in.

Academic sources are lacking in sources written by trans people about trans people, we aim to do the project to help combat this.
