Age 8 and wanting a sex change
This powerful documentary about several kids in america who have decided they have been born the wrong gender.

'Eight-year-old Josie was born a boy but has been living as a girl for two years since revealing the full extent of his feelings about his identity to his mother.'

'Sixteen-year-old Chris, who was born a girl, started testosterone treatment at 14. He now has a deep voice and plentiful body hair, and shaves regularly.'

A personal opinion written about the show on the channel 4 website
' Good programme but if im honest i got very angry everytime the narrator refered to the children as their biological gender. It is extremely disrespectful and showed narrow minded views of gender dysphoria. The parents in the programme however i think are amazing and very supportive, respecting their child and seeing them as who they truely are. '

layering the images allows the idea of mixing gender and sexuality, by changing the opacity on a layerd image like with this one i have managed to bring the two together, this is something im trying out as i would like to do this with my final images from my photo shoot.

Me against the Music
A perfect example of androgyny in music and fashion, Madonna and Britney spears meet in this perfect video portrayal of feminine and masculine. In the music video they find themselves moving through an underground club space on either sides of a wall which separate them. They are both dressed very masculine in suits and Britney wears a hat. I really like the attitude in this video and i this this is defniftely something i would like to portay in my shoot.
