Lesbian FemaleHow I Identify:

Stereotypes I Associate

with:

Queer:

Straight:

The idea of difference. In order to

'look’ like a lesbian there are

certain subcultural norms you

have to deal with, but each of

them involves distinguishing your

self from the typically feminine.

Submissive. I chose to portray

this stereotype by going for the

whole 'virginal ditzy Taylor Swift-

esq look' because … women tend

to be stereotyped as girls that

love white and lace being dumb in

order to impress a man.

As humans, we categorize people

based on stereotypes and

assumptions. The participants in

this photo exploration were

volunteers that were asked to

portray stereotypes. These

examples are not meant to be

hurtful, they are meant to

elaborate on how easy it is to

typify those we identify as “other”

even if we, ourselves, are an

“other”.
