    Encouraged by the ongoing success of TransActive's chest binder exchange, In a Bind, we have decided to expand our Youth Expressions programming with a brand new project for trans-feminine youth: About Face!

    About Face aims to support and affirm the exploration of gender expression by AMAB (Assigned Male At Birth) transgender and gender diverse youth by providing them with basic makeup kits who may not otherwise be able to obtain them on their own due to social stigma or living in unsupportive environments.

    We're going to begin accepting applications soon, but in the meantime, we have a preliminary raffle giveaway happening to celebrate the launch of the program. Full details on what is being given away and how to enter can be found here.

    Please spread the word anywhere you know young trans women and AMAB nonbinary folks will see it! Feel free to comment here with any questions or suggestions. Thanks all!

    I wish we could start up a website where trans men and women can swap clothes.

    I see people doing this on Tumblr all the time! Back in the day, it was always on LiveJournal too. It's a great idea and can be fun - just sometimes frustrating because of the differences in our average body sizes.
