Photographing The Butch Women Of San Francisco

Photographing The Butch Women Of San Francisco
Photographer Meg Allen celebrates “those who choose to exist and identify outside the gender binary” through a series of stunning portraits.


“It is a celebration of those who choose to exist and identify outside of the binary; who still get he’d and she’d differently throughout the day.”





"Who get called out in bathrooms and eyed suspiciously at the airport.”




“Who have invented names for themselves as parents because [neither] ‘Mom’ nor ‘Dad’ feels quite right.”
