Moving forward with youOur goal is to help support transgender kids, teens and adults who live in Renfrew County, Ontario, by sourcing locally donated clothing and gender-affirming gear on a one-to-one, custom-need basis.
Clothing that affirms one's gender can be a lifeline that dramatically increases the quality of everyday life. Let us help to ease the barriers and make your journey a little smoother. You are not alone.
In Transition Clothesline operates throughout Renfrew County, in partnership with Family & Children`s Services of Renfrew County. Special thanks to Pflag Halifax for inspiring this idea and allowing us to reprint their content. |
WHY DOES THE CLOTHESLINE MATTER? Research shows that having access to social transition tools (clothing, name, pronoun, etc.) is vital to improving the lives of trans youth and adults who wish to transition. In a recent survey with trans youth across Canada, those who were living full-time in their felt gender were almost 50% more likely to report good or excellent mental health than those who were not (Veale et al., 2015). |
