Immediately after, I went and commented on the post on Georgia's instagram introducing myself and telling people where to get the shirt.
And in the days that followed, my followers, who are everywhere, tagged me any time it was reposted.
At the time, the t-shirts were funding a scholarship I founded in the name of Greyson Jones, who passed as a result of transphobia. After the surge of orders from David's visibility, we raised $10,000.00 for Greyson's scholarship.
And I used my new income to support as many trans-owned creators as I could. I purchased t-shirts, art, tattoos, and other products and I answered as many mutual aid calls as I could.
I wanted everyone who supported me to benefit from this visibility.
And now I'm back where I started:
I am neurodivergent. Sensory issues are abundant and I picked shirts that are as sensory friendly as I could find. They are soft, breathable, durable, have a tearaway tag, and the sleeves are not too tight. The collar can be a bit constricting so please order up a size or message me for personal accommodations.
The shirts fit true to size. I have sizes from small to 6x for t-shirts and small to 5x for hoodies. The shirts on the website are unisex. Order up if you like a looser fit. Order up if you need a looser collar. Order up if you have a large chest.
I can do them custom if it's a dysphoria issue but remember that these shirts are a political statement and not a fashion statement.
Perhaps one day.
I want the Trans Women are Women design to get some more traction, visibility, and support first.
Take care of my family first, then direct action and mutual aid.
Prior to June, I gave $5 from every single shirt to the Greyson Jones Memorial Scholarship up to $10k. I also support as many trans-owned businesses as I can.
Not anymore. I don't have the capacity to fulfill custom orders anymore.
The short answer is no. The long answer is: during the summer months, I will sometimes take tank top orders for sizes up to 2x. I cannot get tank tops up to 6x so I won't put them on the site because everyone deserves an equal shopping experience. I hope to change this very soon and have new leads.
Probably not. Again, not a fashion statement.
People wishing to wear one of the t-shirt designs but have a financial barrier, can sign up to receive a free shirt. Sometimes my followers will ask to sponsor someone on the list. They pay for the shirt and I send a free shirt to the person who signed up. Over 300 people have been sponsored.
Now, you can both apply for the list and sponsor a shirt directly through the site! Check it out!
No, we do not print our messages on kid’s shirts and let me tell you why.
When you purchase these shirts and wear them in public places to show you are a safe space, you accept the responsibility of having tough conversations and defending the rights of trans people worldwide.
That’s a humongous commitment and something to which a kiddo cannot give informed consent.
It’s important to me that all of your kids stay safe from right wing extremists and anyone who would want harm to befall people who wear these messages of support.
If you have a kiddo who REALLY wants to show their support for a transgender friend, or sibling, I encourage you to check out the stickers, and even my enamel pins.
Thanks so much for understanding!
