From photographer L. Weingarten’s “A Series of Questions”, depicting transgender, transsexual, and genderqueer people holding signs painted with the questions they have actually been asked by friends and strangers alike.

More photos at link above, and I urge you to click, because before I saw this work, I don’t think I’d ever *really* thought seriously about what it actually feels like to have your most private self questioned on a daily basis. The amazing thing is that, when you look at these photographs, the questions are being asked of you, and as a gender-normative person who’s never had to deal with this particular type of harassment, it really snaps into perfect focus the offense and outrage that these people must feel on a daily basis.

Thanks to Lipstick Feminists for the heads-up on this work.
