You Do You is here, queer, and giving a refreshingly all-inclusive point of view to the cybersphere.

Looking to stay up to date with trends on a fashion editorial site with a focus on age, gender, shape, ability, and race inclusivity? Look no further: You Do You is here, queer, and giving a refreshingly all-inclusive point of view to the cybersphere.

For those of us hungry to find writing and imagery that gives a big "fuck you" to any lingering sense of rigidity society and corporations might impose, YDY is the hip, exciting well of material we've been praying to a gender-neutral non-denominational deity for.

Created by editor-in-chief Kristiina Wilson and creative director Logan Jackson, YDY is something of a pioneer in it's field--an online fashion and art magazine making a conscious effort to avoid excluding anyone who might feel the fashion world intentionally doesn't cater to them.

If, like me, you're a skeletal, lipstick-wearing, oft pimply boy who's never looked good in that monster of all monsters, slacks, the world of YDY is something of an aesthetic, intellectual Mecca. The site's self-proclaimed mission is "to show the world that fashion fits on every body."

And fit it does. Recent content on the site has incorporated everything from photo stories about unisex Spanx, to fashion collaborations for the elderly with major up-and-coming labels like Opening Ceremony, to essays on the gender identity of the divine.

YDY is cause for celebration among those experimenting outside of their assigned-at-birth sex, or individuals who've felt like their bodies are unworthy of glamorization, or have felt too old, or too weird, or who've struggled to find beauty in, say, a disability.

The fact it hasn't become a religious text for the hipster communities of places like Brooklyn and Portland is a literary wonder. Keep your eyes, ears, and whatever other orifice you'd like peeled for more to come from this triumph of a web publication.
