A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    Personally, I put modifications associated with transsexualism in a separate category than body modifications that lie somewhere in between like: penectomy, castration, mangina with no breasts, etc because to me modification is about creating something different than the ‘norm.’

    Of course, others may define it differently, and I have no problem with that.

    Can’t wait to see the details…
