“Who makes these rules? Who told us we shouldn't cry? Who told us we shouldn't be soft?” said 23-year-old Onke Qhankqalala, who was photographed in Cape Town by @_kyleweeks_. “Me personally, I don't believe in masculinity. I believe it is something that we as men came up with to make ourselves feel better and powerful.” To cut themselves free of the gender norms fed to them since birth, young South Africans aren’t using sharp edges but rather soft fabrics and turns of phrase. “What the present moment seems to signify is the emergence of a fresh, unrestricted image of African gender and masculinity that rejects the dominant masculine ideal of toughness, even in a hostile world,” @lelowhatsgood writes in @nytimesfashion. @_kyleweeks_ took this series of photos of young men who are defining themselves through dress in #CapeTown, the queer capital of South Africa. “It’s no coincidence that this rebellion against gender and Eurocentrism has been led by queer, trans and gender-nonconforming young people,” @lelowhatsgood writes. “Their protest is a means of self-preservation.” Swipe left to see more of his portraits, and visit the link in our profile to hear from more of those @_kyleweeks_ photographed.
