Before Pride Begins, Help Us Restock Build-A-Queer Kits

Help trans people across the country access affirming essentials, visibility, and care.

DONATE NOW

Every week, more and more trans people across the country reach out to Queer Trans Project looking for access to affirming items that help them feel safer, more visible, and more at home in their bodies.

And right now, those requests are growing.

As anti-trans legislation continues increasing across the country, more people are turning to community-led organizations like ours for support, affirmation, and access to care.

Before Pride Month begins, we are preparing for one of our largest restocks yet, happening June 13.

Image says 1,500 kits this pride. $150,000 in direct care. $30,000 Fundraising Goal.

What Your Support Provides

Your donation directly helps us restock and distribute:

✨ Binders
✨ Gaffs
✨ Gender Grip tape
✨ Makeup and affirming beauty products
✨ Self-care and wellness items
✨ Gender-affirming essentials shipped directly to people nationwide

These are not generic products pulled from shelves.

Most of the items included in our kits are:

100% designed by us

Manufactured for us

Trans-tested and approved

Built intentionally for our community by people who understand firsthand why these items matter.


Tangible Impact

💙 $7

Helps cover shipping costs for affirming items

💗 $15

Helps provide Gender Grip tape or essential kit items

🤍 $25

Helps support multiple affirming products for one person

🤎 $50

Helps us prepare and distribute multiple kits before Pride Month demand increases

For many people receiving these packages, this is not about “merch.”

Read a request we recently received:

“I am a trans guy dealing with severe dysphoria on a daily basis, and not being able to afford gender-affirming items such as binders, packers, or other helpful materials has had a big impact on my mental well-being.

This is why Build-A-Queer Kits exist.

Not everyone has safe access to affirming items.
Not everyone can afford them.
And for many trans people, these items directly impact confidence, safety, mental health, and daily quality of life.

Your support helps us say yes to more people asking for help.


With gratitude,

The Queer Trans Project
