This chapter explores the construction of female masculinity and transmasculinity in Russian Orthodox stories about the lives of saints. By reading hagiography through a transgender lens, it suggests that these Orthodox texts subverted broader ideas about gender in Russian culture, laying the foundations for a transgender hagiographical tradition that lasted well into the nineteenth century.
