We’re excited to be carrying “Trans History from Ancient Times to Present Day” a graphic novel by Alex L. Combs & Andrew Eakett

It is impossible to fit the vast complex constellation of trans histories into one book (or even a couple), which is why we’re always excited to see more books and stories on the subject come out!

“In this remarkable compendium, Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett explore some of the societal roles played by trans people beginning in ancient times and show how European ideas about gender were spread across the globe. They explain how the science of s*xology and the growing acceptance of (and backlash to) gender nonconformity have helped to shape what it means to be trans today. And through illustrated conversations with activists, scholars, and creatives they give readers a deeper sense of the diversity of trans people, a group numbering in the millions.”

This weekend we sent out a newsletter with all sorts of info on binding (subscribe if you haven’t already) and our friends at made an excellent post highlighting FGBINDED Binders! 🫶

So, with that in mind we want to talk a little bit about trans tape/t-tape/binding tape. Made of a body safe tape akin to kinesiology tape, it is sweat and waterproof which makes it perfect for summer seasons 🌊☀️ Tape, which can be used for chest binding or tucking, allows the wearer to move tissue and bits in such a way that flattens the area without actually compressing the body (making it a safer option for multi-day wear)

We love the trans tape website resource section as they have an excellent collection of videos detailing how to use trans tape on a range of bodies! ✨
