M. Sharkey’s photo series “Queer Kids” documents a new generation of queer youth across the U.S. and in Europe.
M. Sharkey writes, "I think I'll always be drawn to this amazingly brave group, their strength is a continual source of inspiration for me. It's their defiance that I want to capture in the portraits."

"I'm somewhere on the trans-masculine spectrum between gender-queer and binary. I think I started realizing [I was different] in 10th grade. I went to an all-girls Catholic school; it's a little hard not being a girl there. I think the problem now is that other guys don't see me as a guy. I'm not particularly masculine, and I don't really try to be."
