Description is exactly This photo of my triptych of tattoos - featuring Joan of Arc holding the trans flag as the centrepiece – is part of an ongoing act of reclamation of my desecrated queer body. A recurrent motif in my work as a medievalist, transfeminist scholar, creative practitioner and activist, I took this self-portrait for my June 2025 exhibition 'My Queer Truth', an exhibition of my zines with Blossom LGBT, UK. My zines navigate personal and political embodied responses to the extreme, sustained trauma of the 'corrective' gender and identity-based conversion violence that I suffered while growing up. This photo is queer testimony.
