Beyond Our Bodies

V in their rehearsal room, Brunswick, Australia, 2018. V is a musician and a tattoo artist. 'If there is one adjective I hate being described by is SEXY. It repulses me, I find it disgusting, even by a woman. I don’t want to be sexualized by my friends or by strangers. I’m not someone’s object. I get sexualized enough by people on the street! I suppose the better way to describe my gender is androgynous. I don’t want to be a man, I don’t want to be a woman." V Photo by Su Cassiano/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
