"Ever since the early 1970s Goldin has lived with and among drag queens, documenting both their glamour and their struggles.
The Other Side is her very personal declaration of love and gratitude to these drag queens, who showed her a way out of the captivity of pre-packaged, socially prescribed identity. As she put it: "The pictures in this book are not of people suffering gender dysphoria but rather expressing gender euphoria... The people in these pictures are truly revolutionary; they are the real winners in the battle of the sexes because they have stepped out of the ring".
