Just out: my photo essay, in collab with photographer Jesse Freidin, who documents the lives of young #trans kids. He shared 7 powerful portraits of young #transgender Texans.

Jesse told me: “I want to tell those stories before they disappear, before these families leave the country or state, before these families have to go underground.”

This story is incredibly important to me, and all of us at Texas Observer too. This was published in the November/December issue of our magazine, and now available online in time for Trans Awareness Week: https://www.texasobserver.org/trans-kids-youth-are-you-ok-photos/

(I'm concealing the photos because they contain eye contact, but I really hope you will look if you can, these are powerful photos of young people being themselves, and part of me wishes I didn't have to CW them)
