“A new photo book has just been released and it examines the power of identity, desire, and connection through the art of portraiture in 2015.

Every Breath We Drew is a striking collection of images from photographer Jess Dugan, who sought out subjects that exhibit, in her words, a form of “gentle masculinity.” Through this work, Dugan complicates traditional notions of masculinity by photographing individuals in intimate spaces as meaningful exchanges took place.”

“Every day, trans and gender non-conforming people face overt and subtle discrimination as they try to go about their lives. As part of Transgender Awareness Week, GLAAD created a photo essay to highlight the more subtle forms of oppression trans people experience – often called microaggressions. Microaggressions are subtle verbal or behavioural slights that invalidate a person’s identity or experience.”

” I didn’t feel boyish, nor butch, male, nor androgynous that day. But like wearing a beard. And it felt good honestly.”

“I sat patiently waiting in Bryant Park, camera in hand, and perfect weather outside.

Jacob walked up from the Subway in their tall black heels and the perfect LBD, looking effortlessly chic. Sure, Jacob is an accomplished writer, public speaker, and advocate but before that, they are the type of person that you immediately want to be best friends with.

Stylish, funny, and charming; Jacob made me feel as if I had known them my whole life when I had only spent five minutes with them.”

“This was a photo I took for a selfie campaign from the Trans Youth Council. We were prompted to take a selfie, list our pronouns, name, and what gender means to us. I decided to do a haiku.

“Gender is to me,
An act of revolution,
Simply cause I live.””

“I feel so happy. This is really me.
Today I went and celebrated LGBT Pride.
Afterwards I went for a walk and got on the train.
I got stared at by some people. I’ve learned to ‘own’ the stare. I stare right back.

Embracing my beard has taught me that I don’t have to be afraid of being ‘caught out’ for not passing or for not adhering to the feminine stereotype. The beard is a statement that I am acknowledging the masculine ‘roots’, and that it’s there for a reason.”

“This collage is part of my finals art project. I chose gender roles as my topic, especially so, as I’m trying to find out if I’m trans or genderqueer right now.
You can see me wearing all bras I ever owned in pretty much the chronological order I bought them in. What I wanted to enact was a a transformation from typically female to typically male traits but it occurred to me in the making, that that’s exactly my own transformation and my own journey, that I seem to have been on longer than I realized.”
