T-Boys, a social/support group for female-to-male transsexuals in Yorkshire, embarked on a project to raise awareness and funds for transsexuals in the UK. They produced a calendar for 2008 with superb black and white nude images of trans men. The calendar and limited edition prints have been a great success and are still available for sale.

‘So far,’ they say, ‘we have raised over £2000 and the figure is still rising! The money raised will be split three ways - FTM Network, Press for Change and the final third going to various regional groups around the UK.

The project has raised an awful lot of awareness around trans men and their bodies. Stalls at various Pride events around the UK have sparked interest amongst gay men, often questioning their views on the male body. The process of being photographed naked with a group of people who were just the same physically as themselves was a profound experience for some of the guys taking part. It has changed the way that they view themselves, (in a positive way), and has made us feel more confident and sexy. If you haven’t got your calendar, then please contact me, as we still have some available. Don’t forget that there are also limited edition prints for sale too.’
