We met, and the cross-gender children immediately touched my heart. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"balletgirl 2010\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968054\/thumbs\/o-BALLETGIRL-2010-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Ballet Girl, 2010<\/small><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"boy with swimming suit 2009\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968098\/thumbs\/o-BOY-WITH-SWIMMING-SUIT-2009-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Boy with swimming suit, 2009<\/small><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8220;At the end we&rsquo;re all the same &#8212; souls who want to be happy and <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> compassionately.&#8221;  <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your goal\/intention with photographing these children?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy goal was to help them to find happiness.

I was always very interested in identity and compassion and felt sometimes more like a psychologist or detective-profiler, than a photographer.<\/p>\n<p>I realized very young, at age 21 in art school, that as an artist, your photographs can have a great impact on the public opinion. I was very much inspired by Robert Capa and Henry Cartier Bresson, Magnum photographers. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very important for society to see these images &#8212; theres nothing sensational about transgender kids. Again, at the end we&rsquo;re pretty much the same: we&rsquo;re all souls who want to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> happy and give meaning to our life and others. <\/p>\n<p>It was during the project that I suddenly understood why these photos were incredibly important for the kids. They showed who they really were. The photographs were almost forensic proof for them. <\/p>\n<p>Mostly, photography is about the emotions and ego from the artist. Well, during this project my ego shrunk every photoshoot because I was in service of them. And I liked very much the idea that the photographs we made were for a greater purpose. Unfortunately, I could never expose them in a museum because of the integrity of the children. Now that they&#8217;re older I&rsquo;m looking for a great spot. Society and public opinion has changed. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"girl 2003\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968256\/thumbs\/o-GIRL-2003-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Girl, 2003<\/small><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"girl 2009\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968264\/thumbs\/o-GIRL-2009-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Girl, 2009<\/small><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"princess on white horse 2012\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968282\/thumbs\/o-PRINCESS-ON-WHITE-HORSE-2012-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Princess on white horse, 2012<\/small><\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you hope viewers take away from these images?<\/strong><br \/>\nI truly hope The Huffington Post audience will take the compassionate way of looking. This means a way of looking with the heart &#8212; free from personal emotions. <\/p>\n<p>If you get emotional with someone&#8217;s suffering you are not in a position of empowering someone. The very first doctor who helped these children was a pioneer as well. During the weekend he was a deacon in a church. The reason he wanted to help transgender gender people was because of this compassionate way of looking at them &#8212; not as a doctor but as a human being. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"butterfly tableau 2010\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968290\/thumbs\/o-BUTTERFLY-TABLEAU-2010-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Butterfly tableau, 2010<\/small><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"butterfly tableau 2012\" src=\"http:\/\/i.huffpost.com\/gen\/2968300\/thumbs\/o-BUTTERFLY-TABLEAU-2012-900.jpg?7\"><br \/><small>Butterfly tableau, 2012<\/small> <\/p>\n<p>&#8212; This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/terms.html\/\">terms.<\/a> It may be used for personal consumption, but may not be distributed on a website.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/05\/24\/inside-out-portraits-cross-gender-children_n_7318026.html?utm_hp_ref=gay-voices&#038;ir=Gay+Voices\" class=\"autohyperlink\">www.huffingtonpost.com\/2015\/05\/24\/inside-out-portraits-cross-gender-children_n_7318026.html?utm_hp_ref=gay-voices&#038;ir=Gay+Voices<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#039;Inside Out: Portraits Of Cross-Gender Children&#039; Beautifully Documents Transgender Kids For the past 12 years, Dutch photographer Sarah Wong has documented the lives and experiences of a group of children who have transitioned &#8212; or are in the process of transitioning &#8212; to <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">live<\/a> as their authentic selves.
