Stock photos don't have The Impotent King (2005) in English Subtitlesa great reputation when it comes to gender-inclusivity. Options are limited at best or non-existent at worst.
That's why Vice Media's feminist channel Broadly decided to launch their own stock photo library of gender-inclusive images. The Gender Spectrum Collectionincludes over 180 images featuring 15 trans and non-binary models. All of these photos have a Creative Commons license and are free for the public and media professionals to use.

But even at our best, we have been limited by the stock imagery available to us," Broadly Editor-in-Chief Lindsay Schrupp wrote in a letter.
As Schrupp notes, stock photos of trans folks in everyday settings are hard to find. Even as trans people have moved into the public spotlight, stock photo libraries fail to fully represent the community.
"Image searches for “gender fluid” on Getty Images tripledbetween June 2017 and June 2018, yet the three most downloaded photos of transgender people in the library at that time were all of a hand with a transgender pride symbol, without an identifiable face or body in the background." Schrupp writes. "This is typical of many stock photos: Trans people are rarely depicted as engaging with their communities or participating in public life, which severely limits the range of experiences we imagine transgender people to have."
Artist and photographer Zackary Drucker photographed all of the subjects. Photos are broken up by category, which includes lifestyle, relationships, technology, work, school, health, and moods.
"With this collection, we hope to encourage richer representations of trans and non-binary personhood within society’s most important mode of public communication, visually and editorially," the collection's usage guidelines explain.
The photos are diverse not just in terms of gender identity but also in the ages, races, and cultures that are pictured. And unlike most stock photos, they're not profoundly corny. You don't see two office bros in blue shirts swapping jokes by the fax machine. No one is laughing in a field full of flowers.
Instead, people in the photos are doing what people in real life actually do: walking, drinking coffee, staring at their phone, and going to school.
It sounds simple, but it's necessary.
