"As a Woman" is a collection of 17 photos taken between 1974-1975 by Barry Kay that were featured in his photographic essay book, As a Woman (1976). These photographs are one of the multiple collections from the Transas City website. The book features photographs of crossdressers and transsexuals living in Sydney, Australia, detailing the everyday lives of those depicted.
From Barry Kay’s preface to the book: "During many return visits to Australia over the past fifteen years, I have seen the steady emergence of male transvestisism in Sydney and also the establishment of its large transsexual community. My interest in the phenomenon has grown as each time I became more conscious of the wide disparity that lies between this sub-culture and the society from which it springs. As a result, I began the series of portraits that are now contained in this book."
