Catch GenderBender at this Trans Pride event to have your measurements taken; a free fitting for binders, tucking gear, or swimwear; or buy pride gear like chokers, hats, and waist bags at a discount for our locals 💛

Hi everyone! We're struggling this year and haven't been able to create much promotional content as a result. So, we've decided to create an affiliate program this holiday season in hopes that some of our fans might create their own content in return for 15% of any sales they assist 💸
We've gotten thousands of stellar reviews over the years, so it would be great to see some of those authentic voices spreading the word and getting compensated for that work. We're good at making things, but not so much making content for social media etc, so we also want to trust that others can do this better than we do! 📸🎥🤳
For people with a substantial trans/queer following, we may also be able to provide free items for this promotion. Feel free to check out the details on the site and contact us if you have any questions!

Happy holidays! For our many supportive family members, partners and allies, we've created these sides based on USPS shipping deadlines for any gift packages needed by December 25th!

These dates are for pre-made items like binders, gaffs, tape, swim, chokers, tucking straps, etc. Custom orders like hats, beanies, overalls, custom straps and harnesses may take longer to make and should be ordered ASAP.

Alternatively, we also have gift cards so your loved one can pick out exactly the style they want!

Join us at this Friday Oct 25th 6-10pm to check out some gear or get a free fitting! Finding the right size and style of compression garment can be difficult when purchasing online, so we invite you to stop by to get personalized service and see what might work best for your body type or special needs.

Friday Oct 25 from 6-10pm

We would like to provide members of the transgender and gender nonconforming community an opportunity to share their professional skillsets on our platform. We think it is important to lift each other up and collaborate. The responses to this form will be used to create a public spreadsheet where people can find professionals beyond the gender binary who they would like to work with or hire. We would like to welcome people from a wide range of industries. As a small trans-owned and operated business, we value being able to find like-minded, safe individuals with the skills we need to thrive. While we may want to work with some of you, this networking resource will be made available on our website's LGBTQ+ Resources Page for you and others to search through.

GenderBenderLLC.com is a branded website where we sell gender-affirming gear like chest binders, tucking gaffs and shorts, swimwear, underwear, packers, lingerie, toys, and pride accessories with size-inclusive options. Most of our most popular styles are handmade locally in Los Angeles and we often offer customization and alterations. Though our shop is not open to the public, we sometimes allow customers to visit for a fitting or pick-up, and we will begin doing pop-ups soon beginning at Good Time Long Beach. We used to sell on Etsy but can no longer sell there due to recent policy changes, so we are working on increasing our sales on the website and other platforms. We would be open to discussing further development of our website with a professional. We may also need new models for future photoshoots, a local photographer, and social media influencers looking for sponsorship.

We may also be willing to provide discount codes to organizations interested in promoting our products. Nonprofit organizations offering free services and resources to our community may contact us to request an individual link on our LGBTQ+ resource page!

Once we've gotten a decent number of submissions, the board will be posted publicly.

Why are taxes in the US so complicated?

Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
I, Xander, wore my nonbinary pride bucket hat camping for a couple of reasons:
- to protect my ears from the sun 🤠
- to let the right people know that I don't in fact identify as a binary trans man, which is what people often assume based on my scars and voice 🏳️‍⚧️
If people don't know me, I don't usually mind if they use he/him pronouns, but it's important to respect people's preferred pronouns once you learn them! That goes for any pronouns. Just because I personally prefer they/them for myself, that's not an excuse to use they/them for everyone without paying attention to people's actual identities. Trans women and fems always have the right to demand she/her pronouns regardless of whether they "pass" or not. Trans men and mascs have the right to he/him pronouns no matter what transitional steps they have or haven't taken. Nonbinary people do not owe anyone androgyny. Pronouns often can't be guessed based on someone's appearance alone, so it's important to listen carefully for people's pronouns and do your best to use them correctly. If you can find someone's pronouns on social media or learn from a friend, even better! However, that's not always an option and sometimes asking directly can be undesirable... so we also sell pronoun masks and offer a number of rubber pronoun patches that can be applied to hats, beanies, overalls, jackets, work attire, etc. so that people can more easily signal how they would like to be gendered 😎
Our solid colors and stonewashed bucket hats are running low, so get one for pride before they sell out! New prints coming soon as a replacement

Found some old photos from behind the scenes of another all-trans desert photoshoot to post for Trans Day of Visibility!

We believe in authenticity. Not all trans people want the same things, and that needs to be represented in media and respected by all. Being trans is a very individual journey that looks different for everyone, binary or not. We have always provided service with the needs of individuals in mind rather than a one-size fits all approach. Our products are listed by purpose rather than by gender. If you want help finding gender-affirming gear that fits your specific needs, please know we are here to help!
