Challenged with making a series of postage stamps that feature a prominent social or political issue, I decided to try and illustrate the current and dangerous experience transgender individuals have to deal with every day of their lives. I myself am a transgender male, but I am fortunate to be stealth enough to not draw attention to myself, but I see the way people like me are treated constantly, and I've witnessed first hand the way we are portrayed as villainous and monstrous individuals. I think people often forget that others around them are conscious just like them, and the things people say about us and do to us have an effect on us, and not a good one.
