Del LaGrace

From their website:

As a gender variant visual artist I access 'technologies of gender' in order to amplify rather than erase the hermaphroditic traces of my body. I name myself. A gender abolitionist. A part time gender terrorist. An intentional mutation and intersex by design, (as opposed to diagnosis), in order to distinguish my journey from the thousands of intersex individuals who have had their 'ambiguous' bodies mutilated and disfigured in a misguided attempt at 'normalization'. I believe in crossing the line as many times as it takes to build a bridge we can all walk across. 

Del LaGrace Volcano, September 2005

I really like a lot of they're portraits...there is more respect given to the bodies of the people being photographed -- that their genders and bodies are made less of a spectacle, perhaps this is because the artist offers themselves in many of the portraits as well. It seems more that they're asking other genderqueer individuals to help their personal quest to reconcile and erase gender. 

I would suggest going to they're site http://www.dellagracevolcano.com and looking at the projects SELVES and CLASSICS. GENDERQUEER also has some beautiful portraits.

The website won't let me copy the images, but here are links to some of my favorites!
