"Waving the flag" Postcard
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.
