Melbourne photographer Marlo W raised a pivotal question about the future of older transgender individuals, exploring their paths through evolving healthcare and societal perceptions. Through their project, Foreground, Marlo seeks to connect with and spotlight the lives of 18 older transgender and gender-diverse Australians living in Melbourne. The project captures their experiences and challenges faced over the years, illustrating the importance of understanding the past to prepare for a better future for the trans community. As Australia experiences shifts in acceptance, the focus on older voices is crucial for discussions on trans rights and healthcare.
"I wondered who would be taking care of me, if I needed to be taken care of, Marlo told VICE."
"Someone who is in their 50s today would have been born into an Australia where seeking gender affirming care was still a legal grey area."
