I just want to remind you that sometimes your life really doesn't begin until you are 26+... Romanticizing and obsessing over our youth is harmful. Growing up is beautiful. Discovering who you are and how you interact with the world is a gift. Maturing and learning what you truly want out of life and living in that purpose brings fulfillment and peace. Your life is not over in your early 20's because you haven't figured it out yet, it's just beginning.
Actually, I rather like being trans
I suppose being cis would be nice and all, but it doesn’t quite have the same “I will sieze Destiny by the throat and force it into the shape of my choosing” kind of verve

Oh hey there’s art now!!
“I use my life as an example—I go to school, I have friends, I do stuff, I’m still a human. The way they see you in Oman, you’re not human anymore, so it’s ok to be hit, verbally abused, even killed if you are gay. So I’m trying to bring that aspect—yes, I’m gay, but first I’m human. Through living my life publicly, I want to show that being gay is just a part of me, it’s not my whole identity.”

When I was first looking for Jewish lesbians to photograph, in 1980 and 1981, it was difficult to find anyone willing to identify herself publicly in this way. After Nice Jewish Girls was published in 1982, things began to change. But when I saw this woman with a sign saying “Another Jewish Lesbian…” I almost couldn’t believe it. “Another”—as though we are so ordinary, as though Jewish lesbians walk around the streets all the time with big signs announcing who we are. I loved the proud feeling of this woman as she walked with the other people who had come to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the great 1963 Civil Rights March on Washington.
