Ever wondered how the medieval Church navigated gender diversity within its fold? Prepare yourself for an enlightening journey through the less-trodden paths of Church history, featuring tales of transgender saints and the societal repercussions of modern anti-trans legislation.

Together, we uncover compelling stories of women who donned the masculinity cloak to join the Church, and saints depicted with intentional gender fluidity in religious artwork.

As we delve into these historical narratives, we also emphasize the contemporary, highlighting recent research on the detrimental mental health effects of anti-trans laws and the crucial role of activism in safeguarding transgender youth.
