    Abstract:
    In Why It's Fun Being a Girl: Witnessing Adolescence in Charlie White's The Teen and Transgender Comparative Studies, each of these five photographs consists of a teen girl paired with a trans woman against an empty background dominating the composition. Part of his complicated Girl Studies project, these images allow the viewer to witness different kinds of female puberty. This discussion focused on the cultural production and simulation of white femininity by teens and trans women.
