Clothing Support
We at MQA think one of the easiest ways to help our gender non-conforming community members feel comfortable in their own skin is by assisting them into getting clothes that fit and feel good.
In trans and queer communities, a “cracked egg” is a sweet, playful way to describe someone who’s starting to question their gender. Tiny cracks forming in the shell of old assumptions. It doesn’t mean they have everything figured out; it means little sparks of recognition are peeking through. A cracked egg might try new names, pronouns, or clothes, follow trans creators, or simply daydream about other possibilities. And one day, the egg might just open up completely!

Gender Affirming Gear Assistance
We offer up to $100 for trans, non-binary, gender-diverse or non-conforming, and two-spirit folks who would like any gear that would help them feel more comfortable in their body. This could include a binder, gaff, packers, make up, wigs, and more. Please use the link below to request assistance:
