This is some super serial killer vibe. Amputated breasts in formaldehyde jars, with visible chest hair and a trashy nipple tattoo (which tells me this person is most likely an attention seeker, explaining why they can only talk about the museum and its purpose in reference to themselves). The only way this could be any creepier is if it wasn't her own. She compares this to a child having their tonsils removed and showing it to their class, something almost as weird but with the big difference of it being medically beneficial for their inflamed tonsils to be removed. You're telling me they're quoted as intending to show this off in order to cease the stereotype of transgendered people being deranged, not perpetuate it? The lack of self awareness in this plays like satire.Museum of Transology

Trans masculinity on the record
Curator of the Museum of Transology in Brighton E-J Scott tells the story behind a few of the 250 objects from the collection, and the powerful effect they had on him as he put trans lives on the record.wellcomecollection.org

A whole museum filled with either stupid shit like MLP plushies, all the way to ghoulish, bloodied bandages used when women's breasts are surgically removed.
"Transcestry". I like how they make it out that they have some rich cultural history, and profound ancient wisdom that has been purposely suppressed and buried. Like they're on the same level as the Great Library of Alexandria being burned in 48BC.
They are SO so brave.
The other objects in this article are donations, none of which paint an appealing picture. A My Little Pony plush (modeled after the modern show airing around 2010) where the owner (presumably MtF and well into their adult years) claims that "immersing myself in My Little Pony is how I managed dysphoria," as if allowing a cartoon targeted well below your age demographic to mold your personality is admirable. A pair of socks which a FtM claimed were "boy's socks" and a standard uniform's hat another FtM claims is a "boy's cap," both with no discernibly masculine characteristics and each owner claiming it helped motivate them to transition. And to believe the poor depiction of their mental health just cascades downwards from there. A suit made out of the labels for a prescription painkiller a donator was addicted to. A children's toy which a donator would play with when stressed akin to a person on the autism spectrum. Lastly, a pencil sharpener which represents another donator's tendency to cut themselves.
It's just dripping with unintentional irony. The museum was supposedly created to portray a healthier and normalized depiction of transgender people. The creator even said so herself, stating, "the donors’ everyday accounts completely obliterate the sensationalistic tone that media stories about trans lives have often adopted," whatever "sensationalistic tone" the media supposedly tries to portray is supposed to be. But these donations serve as direct evidence to the contrary of the museum owner's intent, with items portraying the donators as childish, possibly on the autism spectrum, addicted to prescription medicines, prone to self-harm, and delusional. You didn't just miss the mark, you whiffed your shot completely, shooting and killing the judge with it.
