Hi,

my name is Liz, and I have a sort of unusual request. I do a lot of education on transgender for universities and high schools. Right now I am in the midst of a 5 week/ 5 presentation flurry of activity. One of the things that I would love to be able to include in my presentations is a powerpoint picture slideshow of what transgender is. As a MtF crossdresser, I have a ton of MtF friends who have allowed me to use their pictures; however, I am rather limited in my access to FtM pictures. I really want to be able to present a balanced look at transgender and include an equal number of transmen in my presentation. If you are comfortable with having a picture shared (with no personal information), please either post a pic in this thread, or email it to me: [email protected]

Feel free to stop by and check out my website as well: http://www.gender101.org (http://www.gender101.org/)

Thanks for all your help.

Liz

Hey liz... that's a really cool idea.

I think it could be a good idea to contact some FtMs with personal websites too... because a lot of them have already transitioned and have loads of great experience they can share with you! :D

I'm guessing it would be good to have a whole range of levels of transition?

Thanks for thinking about FtMs :hugs: :love:

Yes, I am looking for all variations of transition in the FtM community. I have pictures of all ranges of transitions as well as "passability" in my MtF selections.

This saturday I have my 'boys night out'.

I'll send you my pictures about myself (and maybe the other boy) cause I think it's great you want to educate people about transgenders.. :hugs:

Transmen (ftms) that are on T... pass amazingly well.
:D

There's only 2 here on this site that I know of that are actually already on T.
That would be Cap and Durden. But Durden's not around much.
He does pass 100% of the time though!

Perhaps some of these guys can help:

Or some of these:

http://www.ftmtransition.com/transition/resources/personal.html


(Loads of those personal sites have "contact me" pages, email addresses and stuff).

And hopefully some guys here can help!

I would volunteer some stuff myself.
But I'm painfully shy and private and stuff.

Yay Evert!

I'd be happy to contribute a picture, though I don't think I'm particularly passable yet. Later today I'll track down my roommate and ask if they can take a picture.

I think it is a great idea. I think the general population's perception of crossdressers is based on television and news articles that show drag queens in Gay Pride parades, rather than "regular" crossdressers. (Hey, I think you drag queens are great, but it's just not me). If you think any of the photos of me are adequate, go ahead and use them. Maybe I will see myself on 60 Minutes or something!

Hay, that's grate news. I don't think we (as in FTMs) are genrally recognised as a group. As cherylsbro said, tou're 'regular everyday' people think transgender and think 'dragqueen' (specifically, mtf. nothing against you lovelly girls, you just overshado us a tad)

Hmm... I have three pics of me 'in drag' :heehee: on another thred on the forum (http://www.crossdressers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=55244), feel free to use them.

I think it's exelent you're trying to educate people on these matters, if there's anything elce you want imput about (say smipits of personal stories or examples of... stuff) just shout, k?
