One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For the past 8 years I 've been working on an artistic and documentary project on gender and identity.
www.planetgender.com
It has changed the way the government and people in Belgium look upon transgender people in society, and I am very proud I could make the difference.
I presently focus on transgender people in other societies and hope also they can be accepted.
