GENDER-AFFIRMING GEAR PROGRAM

---

The Wood Buffalo Pride Gender-Affirming Gear Program is available to help reduce barriers for trans, non-binary, and gender diverse folks in Wood Buffalo to access gender-affirming gear, such as chest binders, trans tape, packers, gaffs, and breastforms. These items are most often used by trans, non-binary, and gender diverse people to manage gender dysphoria and/or to feel more comfortable with how their body looks and feels.

Wood Buffalo has no local retailers that sell gender-affirming gear, and we recognize that not all trans, non-binary, and gender diverse individuals in the community have the means to purchase these items online to be shipped here. Our goal is to provide assistance to anyone experiencing barriers in purchasing gender-affirming gear, and to support access to education on safe use of gender-affirming gear. 

Gender-Affirming Gear is available to anyone in the community who needs it at no cost and no questions asked. No one is turned away. 

New Gear

Wood Buffalo Pride gratefully accepts the donations of new gender-affirming gear, such as binders, packers, gaffs, trans tape, and breast forms. 

Gently-Used Gear

We also accept gently-used chest binders, packers, or breast forms for anyone who would like to pass on gender-affirming gear that they no longer need or fit to someone in the community who can benefit.

Donation drop-off bins are at the following locations:

• Wood Buffalo Pride office at The Redpoll Centre (1 C.A Knight Way). Open Monday-Friday from 8am-4pm.
• You can also bring gear to donate at any of our annual Pride Festival Events and to the Wood Buffalo Pride booth at the Wood Buffalo Pride Fair.
