Turning to photography as a creative outlet during a valiant fight with breast cancer at age 34, renaissance10 survived and set up a photo contest to help raise funds for the Lavender Trust, a nonprofit that provides information and support to younger women with breast cancer. In the first two years, the competition brought in over £65,000 (that's $107,260.73 U.S.!), with entries from 130 countries last year. Renaissance10 recently joined LiveJournal to meet other passionate photographers and find supportive friends.

So my lady and I have a 12 HOUR LAYOVER IN DENVER TOMORROW the 28th !!!!!!! if there are any guys wanting to perhaps wanting to hang out and get us out of the airport for a while it would be really awesome!!!!!!!

( Sunny Christmas )

Joe, 28, NZ. No life.

( When bad boys turn good....they make preserves! )

I'm not sure this is one hundred percent accurate, being as I'm just a queer little thing and not actually a boy (or really much of a girl, to be honest), but I got some new clothes for giftmas, and decided to dress more specifically gendered than usual, (I maintain jeans and a t-shirt is pretty damn neutral) and this is what came out.

( soyeah. I talk kinda a lot, bytheway. )

Have a nice night, y'all!

Ryan. 19. Pre-T.

( Photo and my amazing friends )

I have no idea why I don't post much, maybe I'm just lazy...

Anyways - Joe, 28, NZ, was on T but not at the moment (stupid body)

( Some )

Haaaayyyyy.

I just finished another semester of college :D

And apparently, the last time I posted here was in August. The only thing that's changed for me transition-wise is that I finally changed my name legally :)

( Will, 22, pre-everything )

So I've got a photobucket account that has been documenting me for the past...probably 5 years now hahah. I'm not on t or anything, but it's weird to look at...because sometimes I feel like I passed a lot more when I was younger haha.


Anyway, here, I'll show you guys some random pictures from freshman year up until this year [senior yearrr]. Story of my life? Kind of haha. PICTURE HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY.


( PROPR. )
There we go.
Sorry it was so heavy!

Let me do a total re-introduction. Nat 22, gender chopp`d & screwed. I have this amazing girlfriend and its been close too about 2 months with us, and the first month we were together she went home for Thanksgiving break, and that was hard and now she back home with her family again 'till the 4th of January. My bday is on the 30th & our 2 months is on the 23rd and you know Christmas of 'course. Its been weird w/o her by my side ... Enough on that note. I have been having these thoughts about transiting for a long time at that and I brought it up to her and she was very supportive during the conversation but she said to me that she doesn't believe she could ever see me as a MAN. I have my own definition of a man, & that is a "MAN" isn't defined by whats between his legs - all the FTM's I know have the strongest mental state I have ever come in contact with.  I feel like my mental sate has overcome the female mind that I have, a brain is powerful, like a sponge . I want to transition one day but the mental state is a journey that I have to go through before any testosterone hits my body. ( Read more... )

Hey there duuuuuuudes,
I have a whole lot of updates. Most importantly, I have my endo appointment coming up on January 15. My partner and I have been having a lot of long, honest talks about what my starting testosterone will mean and what we will have to do to make sure that we really take care of our relationship. She's nervous, as am I, but I think being excited has really started to overtake whatever nervousness we've both been feeling. I also am planning to come out to my parents right after Christmas, because if it goes well I really want to tell them about my upcoming endo appointment. I'm sitting up right now working on my letter, and I'm posting the rough draft under the cut.

Also! My band just released our very first EP, entitled "The All Eyes EP," through our myspace. My band is called Look, I'm Burning, and we're sort of metalcore/hardcore (lots of screaming and guitar riffing). The guys in my band are the coolest, best dudes I have ever met. Even though I was out prior to starting my band, having them as a social backbone and support system has helped me so much in actually pursuing the steps necessary to make my physical transition happen. They're nothing but supportive and the best friends a guy could ever ask for. Anyway, if you want to support a trans-positive indie metal band, feel free to stop by our myspace and listen to a few tracks, leave a comment, or download the EP.

That's a typical day in the life of Micah...
