Over at FFOTO.com we just launched the incredible series Have / Hold by trans* artists Kyle Lasky + Wynne Neilly. With this project, Lasky and Neilly challenge perceptions of masculine intimacy using their own ongoing series of self-portraits that they began making prior to transitioning into their true selves. The whole sequence of photographs is just gorgeous, vulnerable, and unabashedly sexy. 
Check out Lasky and Neilly’s work at FFOTO.com/HaveHold
And if you have questions about this series, or would like to know more, feel free to send me a DM.

BTW, Wynne Neilly is the photographer of this historic cover portrait of Elliot Page for Time Magazine. Groundbreaking!

Many of the political attacks on trans people—whether it is a mandate that bathroom use be determined by birth sex, a blanket ban on medical interventions for trans kids or the suggestion that trans men are simply wayward women beguiled by male privilege—carry the same subtext: that trans people are mistaken about who they are. “We know who we are,” Page says. “People cling to these firm ideas [about gender] because it makes people feel safe. But if we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people, the world would be such a better place.”
Page was attracted to the role of Vanya in The Umbrella Academy because—in the first season, released in 2019—Vanya is crushed by self-loathing, believing herself to be the only ordinary sibling in an extraordinary family. The character can barely summon the courage to move through the world. “I related to how much Vanya was closed off,” Page says. Now on set filming the third season, co-workers have seen a change in the actor. “It seems like there’s a tremendous weight off his shoulders, a feeling of comfort,” says showrunner Steve Blackman. “There’s a lightness, a lot more smiling.” For Page, returning to set has been validating, if awkward at times. Yes, people accidentally use the wrong pronouns—“It’s going to be an adjustment,” Page says—but co-workers also see and acknowledge him.
Whatever challenges might lie ahead, Page seems exuberant about playing a new spectrum of roles. “I’m really excited to act, now that I’m fully who I am, in this body,” Page says. “No matter the challenges and difficult moments of this, nothing amounts to getting to feel how I feel now.” This includes having short hair again. During the interview, Page keeps rearranging strands on his forehead. It took a long time for him to return to the barber’s chair and ask to cut it short, but he got there. And how did that haircut feel?
Page tears up again, then smiles. “I just could not have enjoyed it more,” he says.

Elliot Page on the Cover of TIME: Fighting for Transgender Equality
Tumblr media
Time Magazine has interview Elliot Page on coming out as trans and on the transgender struggle.
On coming out:
“What I was anticipating was a lot of support and love and a massive amount of hatred and transphobia,” says Page. “That’s essentially what happened.” 
What he did not anticipate was just how big this story would be. Page’s announcement, which made him one of the most famous out trans people in the world, started trending on Twitter in more than 20 countries. He gained more than 400,000 new followers on Instagram on that day alone.
On the transgender struggle:
“Extremely influential people are spreading these myths and damaging rhetoric—every day you’re seeing our existence debated. Transgender people are so very real.”
“We know who we are...People cling to these firm ideas [about gender] because it makes people feel safe. But if we could just celebrate all the wonderful complexities of people, the world would be such a better place.”
Tumblr media
The pandemic gave him room for thought:
In part, it was the isolation forced by the pandemic that brought to a head Page’s wrestling with gender...
 “I had a lot of time on my own to really focus on things that I think, in so many ways, unconsciously, I was avoiding,” he says. 
He was inspired by trailblazing trans icons like Janet Mock and Laverne Cox, who found success in Hollywood while living authentically. 
Trans writers helped him understand his feelings; Page saw himself reflected in P. Carl’s memoir Becoming a Man. Eventually “shame and discomfort” gave way to revelation. 
“I was finally able to embrace being transgender,” Page says, “and letting myself fully become who I am.”
