These Photos Show The Beautifully Unique Ways These People Express Their Gender

The world is certainly changing for queer people. From more and more people being able tolive as their authentic selvesto ensuringrights for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community via legislation, the last few years have seen especially overwhelming progress in terms of the growing cultural awareness surrounding this community. A new photography book from Bernd Ott and Emily Besa aims to capture this reality through photos and stories of over 36 individuals who identify at different points along the spectrum of gender identity. Called All The People, the book features individuals fromthe United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany and the United States who all uniquely transcend traditional notions ofgender. "We hope that some will see that your identity is not defined by socially introduced categorizations," Ott told The Huffington Post. "Once we can see categories as being arbitrary and meaningless, some may realize that we all share very similar fears and emotions and the same worries and feelings determine our existence. We actually share the same human experience despite what we look like, who we love, or how we love." Check out photos from All The People below, as well as an interview with Ott and Besa. All The People is also engaged in a Kickstarter campaign in order to fund its publication -- head herefor more information.
