All We Are
Just a little over six years ago I wrote a short story imagining what it would be like to attend an actual summer camp for gender variant boys. The real camp on which I based my title is called by the pseudonym "You Are You," with the intent to preserve the anonymity of the children.
I expanded the original short story into my novella, All We Are, to explore what might take place in the life of two of the attendees after they returned to their perspective home. I re-posted my novella tonight; re-edited for continuity and clarity and hopefully with an authentic and promising approach.

The photographer, Lindsay Morris, has works and projects that have appeared around the globe. My title illustration above is but one of many pictures she took at the camp.

Thanks for posting this.
The pictures are lovely and some capture a little of the unconscious element of gender and unguarded moments. It also seemed that there were fewer FtM campers, while the situation in the UK is that more girls want to be boys than t'other way round. I believe it changes in adults to the MtF being the dominant direction of change.

Wonderful Photos
Of kids being themselves without inhibitions.
Maybe one day the world will let them be their true selves.
