About the book
You Are You documents an annual weekend summer camp for gender nonconforming children and their families. This camp offers a temporary safe haven where children can freely express their interpretations of gender without feeling the need to look over their shoulders. In 2007 Lindsay Morris started attending camp with a family member and began documenting what she was witnessing. In 2012 the camp parents and children agreed to have selected images published as the cover story of the New York Times Magazine. This jump started an important and timely dialogue in a public forum.
