The New Generation Of Gender-Creative Kids

When Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s child, Shiloh, decided to be called “John” and wear a suit instead of a dress at a film premiere, the country exploded into debate about gendarme and children’s exploration of it. Many praised the couple’s support of their child; others claimed they were being irresponsible. Most everyone tended to neglect the fact that none of the conversations that transpired within the family concerned anyone else.
In any case, events like these–and the kinds of arguments they tend to spark–are not isolated. Families around the world whose children don’t conform to traditional gender roles are encouraging exploration, not suppression of difference in safe, nurturing environments. One such place is held in Washington D.C., and photographer Lindsay Morris attended one long weekend to document the children and their families’ camp experience. You can learn more about the camp, gender fluidity and variance at TIME.

I recently sat down with Lewis to discuss his trip and what he’s learned. Check it out!
