Hi everyone.

As some of you may remember at the Health Summit last year, a couple
of us were talking about creating a calendar of images of Trans Men.
We now have a date and venue for the Launch Party of the calendar.
Please put this date in your diaries and pass the message on. We
want to see as many people there as possible. I am really excited
about seeing the finished product. Those people who were interested
in using the images as posters may be able to use this as an
opportunity to see what we have to offer. We won't have time to
organise these until the calendar has been launched.
Cheers.

Lee

From Bingo to Bare Bodies

What started as an idea jotted onto the back of a bingo ticket in a
bar has transformed into a calendar of Transtastic Men.

From March 2006, when this idea was germinated, Transmen from across
the country have been meeting in Northern England to take part in a
photographic project to create a calendar for 2008. They have
willingly stepped out of their clothes to celebrate their bodies, to
raise awareness and to raise money.

The project was organised by Robert Nightingale, Lee Gale and the
photographer Paula James, a local artist.

The Launch Party to celebrate the culmination of all this hard work
and begin sales of the calendar takes place on the 2nd June 2007 at
the WorkStation in Sheffield from 7pm - 11pm.

All profits raised go to Press for Change and FTM Network, national
organisations providing support to Trans People across the UK.

For more information contact T-Boys (trans support and information
in the Yorkshire area) on 07021122998 or at tboysuk@yahoo. co.uk

Felix,

I just sent off an email to tboysuk asking if they will have these available for online purchases. When they respond, I will post the web address, if there is one.

I have not received a snail mail address from Lee, so the following email address looks like the one to use.

Helen

Lee,

Thank you for your reply. I will post it on Crossdressers.com so the
FtMs will know how to get in touch with you to order their copy. I
take it that using "tboysuk@yahoo.co.uk" will be sufficient to start
the order process? If not please supply a snail mail address and I
will post that.

Helen

For all of us that is not a bad idea...

Perhaps we all could pose and create a claander for sale to help raise funds for CD/TV/TG issues...Help start and support, support groups in areas that have none...

I for one would pose, if they would have me...
