The Morning News (which is day in and day out one of my favorite websites) has an intriguing comparative photo study by Charlie White of teenage girls and adult male-to-female transsexuals. The images place a teenage girl side-by-side with a visually similar transsexual. The photos juxtapose two completely different lives in transition reaching a point where a sort of doppelganger effect is reached. It’s worth checking out.

In the images in White’s series, both figures are blossoming into womanhood, though each along a different path. As observers, however, we have been taught to view the subjects in much the same way: with sheer terror.
