“I woke up at 1:28 in the morning. I sat up in bed, and said, “I am transgender.” What is that? I had to go look it up on the internet. It’s like my life had been a scattered puzzle and suddenly the frame was there and everything fit and I understood the picture. I thought at that time that it was too late, as far as doing anything with my life. I have a bad heart valve and I was 350 pounds and my heart was failing. I’ve never heard of anyone my age losing one hundred pounds, much less two hundred. I had never heard of anybody my age transitioning. You know, I found people in their forties transitioning, but to transition at sixty-three!” – John

Good evening everyone, @jesstdugan here. I’m continuing my takeover with more photos from “To Survive on This Shore: Photographs and Interviews with Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Older Adults.” Made over a five-year period, this project is a collaboration with Vanessa Fabbre, a social worker and Assistant Professor at Washington University in St. Louis. Seeking subjects whose lived experiences exist within the complex intersections of gender identity, age, race, ethnicity, sexuality, socioeconomic class, and geographic location, we traveled from coast to coast, to big cities and small towns, documenting the life stories of this important but largely underrepresented group of older adults.

In many ways, I grew up in St. Louis, both professionally and personally. My beliefs were challenged. I was encouraged to think differently and problem solve, to have a compassionate mind, and to do my little bit of good in the world. How wonderful it was to be back, four years later, and again be inspired to stand against injustice and inequity and devote myself fully to creating a world where all people can thrive.

Vetta: “My daughter and son created the vision that I have because they had this conversation where they were talking about the luxury of waking up in the morning and not thinking about how you groom your hair or how you choose to wear your hair, how dark your skin is, your intonation, the rate at what you speak, keeping all indications of emotion out of your voice, the smile you’d have to walk into your workplace. Just all of the everyday cares that people of color must have in order to remain employed, remain out of the grasp of the legal system, remain in a space where opportunities may be opened up to you. The fact that every nuance of your being has to be calculated to be acceptable in the larger world. They were like, ‘It’s a luxury, and one day I’d like to wake up and just be. And feel that luxury and just be.’” Riisa: “How sad is that? I hadn’t even thought about what that might feel like. That never occurred to me that there’s an existence like that. That’s deep.” Vetta: “I know. It never occurred to me. But the fact that my kids think about it? That it could be? And we don’t have it…? And my daughter said something interesting about that. She said, ‘I don’t want that to stop for them. I just want it, too.’ Everyone should have that freedom to be.” (2/2)

“Years ago, I was at a school, and we were doing a group. I was talking to the kids about how people perceived them and how they perceived their community. And one of the kids told me, ‘Look up.’ So I looked up, and I’m looking at the ceiling and the ceiling had water stains, it had plaster that was loose, it was clearly cracking. It needed some work. And the student said to me, ‘Every day I walk into this building, I see what people think of me and what they think of my community. The whole condition of this building tells you what people think of me.’ He showed me around and said, ‘You see these books? This tells me that…’ and I was floored. I’d never anticipated that they thought that deeply, that they recognized how we send messages. Our language. I was like, ‘These kids. They know. Sometimes they know more than we know, and they certainly know more than we give them credit for.’ You know, kids can shut you up.” (1/2)
