It also passed legislation making it one of the most advanced countries worldwide in terms of transgender rights—the culmination of a long battle fought by LGBTQ support groups.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the beautifully packaged and affordably priced \u003cem\u003eRevealing Selves\u003c\/em\u003e, award-winning  photographer Kike Arnal collaborates with individuals in Argentinian transgender communities, living side by side with them and documenting their day-to-day lives in a series of strikingly intimate color  and black-and-white images. Among them are a former sex worker who is now a recognized leader of the Buenos Aires trans community, a single trans mother of three teenage girls whose partner had fallen victim to drug abuse, and the residents of the Hotel Gondolin, a small, derelict family hotel now inhabited by a few dozen trans women.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the progress, the situation in Argentina is far from perfect.
