      The year of my birth! I wanted to learn more about this image but when I did a Google Lens search for some reason all the results were ads for babydoll nighties. I’d love to know more about the woman shown. Diane Arbus was such an amazing photographer. She had this skill for making a harshly edited photo still have a feeling of tenderness.

      Anyway… Happy International Day of Trans Visibility!

      Did you mean transexual? Because they are female-presenting, so to be a transvestite that would make them a man, and yet you also gendered them as she.
