E-J Scott, founder of the Museum of Transology and Stage 2 & 3 Leader for Culture, Criticism, and Curation at CSM, shares his personal journey behind the museum and its incredible collection.

"I started collecting ten years ago, right after I was going through gender surgery. Lying in my hospital room, I thought, 'Where's my room frozen in time? Where's my trans community's room?' That moment sparked everything."

From that personal reflection came the creation of the Museum of Transology, a living archive that collects objects and artifacts that tell the stories of trans communities across the world. 🏳️‍⚧️✨

“I sweet-talked the nurse into letting me take everything out of the room—the sheets, the paper cups—and began to recreate something meaningful from them. These objects became part of the collection and started a journey that’s only grown stronger over the last decade.”

The exhibition is the largest display of its kind to date, showcasing over 1,000 objects and stories about family, growing up, love and identity, donated by more than 1,000 members of the community. 💜🤍

“It’s about family and friends and growing up—those are universal themes we can all connect with.”
