This ongoing body of work explores the power dynamics inherent in the questions asked of transgender, transsexual, genderqueer, gender-variant, and/or gender non-conforming people.
Many documentary photographic projects that deal with trans issues exploit the genders of their subjects, pointing to an “otherness” or inappropriately exoticizing their bodies.
The ‘Are you sure this is right for you’ is patronizing and always throws me off guard. As if people don’t trust me to know myself and what’s right for me and are waiting to say ‘I told you so’ if things don’t work out.
-Fyodor Dostoevsky
