Though I’m a girl myself, I do not identify myself as a “girly girl”. I belong to a minority group of people who have been questioning their gender identities. People similar to me also include genderqueer and(or) non-binary.
However, we, usually most of us, are not empathized with by others. Growing up, I was told countless times that I should dress and act “girly”. I spent my life trying to fit in other views to be like a girl: taking mandatory dancing classes at school, wearing gauzy dresses even under informal conditions. I believe a lot of my peers who share a similar feeling with me also have similar experiences: in order to be like what we "should" be in others’ eyes, we have to “camouflage” our true selves.
This is a series of photos that shows our living situation: imitating a common eye of beauty during our lives, again and again, while those women in the original pictures represent the aesthetic taste during different time periods.
