Hi QTP Cuties,

Back-to-school season is here, and whether you're heading back to high school, starting college, walking onto a new campus, or just stepping into a new chapter, we want you to remember something:

You deserve to show up as yourself.

That might mean using a new name or pronouns. Finding clothes that make you feel good. Meeting people who see you for who you are. Or exploring gender affirmation in a way that feels right for you.

There is no one right way to be trans.
There is no one right way to be nonbinary.
And there is no one right way to show up this school year.

BACK TO SCHOOL. BACK TO YOU.

We created our new Back-to-School Guide for Trans & Nonbinary Students to help make navigating the school year a little easier.

We talk about names and pronouns, finding your people, clothing and gender expression, gender affirmation, school and campus life, college, and more.

PARENTS & CAREGIVERS, THIS ONE'S FOR YOU, TOO.

Supporting a trans or nonbinary young person can make an enormous difference in how they experience school — but support doesn't mean making every decision for them.

We've included resources specifically for parents and caregivers on advocating for your young person, listening to what they need, and helping them navigate school while respecting their voice and privacy.

NEW: HOW TO BIND YOUR CHEST WITH TAPE

We've been working on something we're really excited about: turning some of our QTP tutorials into step-by-step resources you can find right on our website.

Our newest guide walks you through how to bind your chest with tape, including preparing your skin, measuring and applying your tape, removing it safely, and avoiding common mistakes.

You can find our other gender-affirming tutorials on YouTube, where we cover things like:

• Binding

• Tucking with a gaff

• Packing

• Using breast forms

• Makeup

• And more

Whether you're trying something for the first time or looking for a little extra guidance, they're there whenever you need them.
