These are great photos. Americans need to see photos like this, because they represent trans people as ordinary individuals, people who might live in your neighborhood or work in your workplace. People you would be glad to know.
It's easy for transphobes to scare Americans with comic-book bogeyman images of sinister trans people invading the restroom, when most people think they've never seen a trans person. But it's hard to hate when you see trans people as ordinary people leading successful lives.
People who are apprehensive about trans people need to look at these photos and ask themselves why they feel threatened by the people depicted.
