trans + genderqueer saints
Does what it says on the tin
Parchment is literally made from animal skin. When we touch the page of a medieval manuscript, the manuscript touches us right back. This offers a glorious, transcendent and transitory moment of skin-to-skin contact with the traces of trans and genderqueer lives preserved as texts in the manuscript.
With this postcard, we invite you to touch and be touched by this proudly trans saint, the break-out star of MxComan’s cover art for the Trans and Genderqueer Subjects volume. We have always been here, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is 100% real graffiti, spotted on a pillar outside the Houses of Parliament, London, UK. It stayed in place for about 6 weeks before being removed. No traces remain today.
When history refuses to recognize us, we are compelled to correct the record, line by line. When the Powers That Be refuse to recognize our dignity, we inscribe our validity, our right to joyful existence at the heart of authority itself. Sometimes graffiti - and stickers too - speak a truth that is anything but disposable.

“Transness is not merely compatible with holiness; transness itself is holy. Trans sanctity, as a mode of radical sanctity, creates a spiritual kinship that is not necessarily religious” (Spencer-Hall and Gutt, p. 14). Unsurprisingly, we agree. This sticker sheet is designed not just to symbolize, but to actively support, that kinship. These stickers go deep, friends. And they look damn cool doing it.

All manner of manicules, oh my! 👉👉👉
Our most business-friendly manicule set. (We’re serious.) A bumper crop of 10 “just the facts” manicule designs from medieval manuscripts.
They say “no” is a complete sentence. Let your stickers do the talking with the bonus “nō” stickers exclusively available on this sheet. Perfect for making your feelings plain.
NB: The abbreviation “NB” comes from the Latin phrase nota bene, meaning “note well”. For this reason, manicules are also known as “nota bene marks”, as they direct you to pay attention to a particularly juicy bit of text. Plot twist: medieval scribes and readers didn’t actually abbreviate nota bene to “NB”. They used the siglum “nō” instead. The macron (straight line) over the “o” here marks a long vowel. So, e.g., the word “note” has a long “o” sound, whilst the word “not” has a short “o” sound. Reclaimed for 2020-something life, “nō” is pleasingly ambiguous: meaning both “NB” and “yeah, hard NOOOOOO to this right here”.

A motley assortment of weird/cute/expressive manicules. Sometimes a disembodied hand just won’t do. Make your point clear with the stars of this sheet: a finger-wagging saint, an unamused fashionista, a confused bro, a supercilious scribe, a snarling dog/hand hybrid (YES but WHY), and the cutest little doggo around. They’re all good stickers, Brent.

Some things never change. People like drawing dicks on things, including in the margins of manuscripts. We’ve sourced some A-grade medieval junk from marginal doodles, surgical illustrations, and bona fide penicules (penis-manicules, for the uninitiated) to create the phallic sheet of your sticker dreams. All the manuscript peen, remixed with references to monochromatic tribal and Victorian-era tattoos, Rococo opulence, Ancient Roman winged penis amulets and their descendants, the obscene metal badges that were all the rage in the Middle Ages. Phallic power for everyone, of every gender.

The Nuremberg Chronicle is a book-history marvel. First printed in 1493, it became a runaway success, meaning the Chronicle is one of the most well-documented incunables we have. There’s little wonder why it became so popular. Its author, Hartmann Schedel, presents an encyclopedic history of the world, guiding us through the seven Biblical ages at a level of detail verging on prurient. Over 1,800 woodcuts illustrate the Chronicle, letting the reader see history with their own eyes.
With this sticker sheet, MxComan brings some of the Chronicle’s “miraculous creatures” out of the medieval shadows. Here we find a mythological six-armed giant, known as a Gegenes, a set of conjoined twins, and a werewolf mid transition, complemented by a remixed 17th-century emblem of the “hand of destiny”.
