A NEW MARKET in fake, anatomical bulges for girls who think they’re boys. Original headline: “More than just undies: The smallest details are the most important for parents of transgender[sic] kids.”
Jake’s problem gradually arose after he [sic] socially transitioned into a boy. Ellie became aware that he [sic] was packing socks into his [sic] underwear.
“They were moving around. They were chaffing. They were too big a lot of the time. He [sic] asked me repeatedly to do something about it and I didn’t know what to do about it at all. I had no idea,” she says.
“The problem I hit almost immediately is that you can’t get anything realistic in a kids’ size in Australia at all,” Ellie continues.
The company Ellie and Jake ended up purchasing from is TranZwear, based in San Francisco, California. It stocks underpants, packers and stand-to-pees for female to male transgender[sic] children aged three upwards.
The business owner, Den Kirkwood-Tucker, explains via email that he [sic] operates a “community-based shop” and works carefully with each family to take into account the child’s “age and where they are in their transition.”
