Freedom of Gender

When I was 20, the human world was easily divided into male, female, gay, straight, bi, drag queen and transvestite. A girl was a she and a boy was a he. Those were the main boxes.

Now, forty years later, the world has become more diverse. More young people identify and present themselves as transgender or non-binary. The theme seems to be 'in', and what else can I contribute to this? how do I visualize this? Noelle posted a call on her socials and that set a ball rolling for a generation where there is a lot of online contact. Sometimes even more than in real life. In addition to the photos, I have asked everyone to provide a text about their attitude to life.

Some people feel strongly that the gender they are assigned at birth does not match how they feel and how they want to express themselves. What someone needs to experience that the gender identity does match the appearance varies enormously. In this series I meet a new generation of people who show me how they live their lives.

A portrait series about gender freedom.
