Books&Binders has been conceptualised by the trans community in nipaluna/Hobart as a mechanism for providing trans youth and the wider trans community with access to gender affirming wear and resources. The project as a whole will rely on the purchase of a large van, books (to loan and purchase), gender affirming gear (binders, packers, gaffs, bras etc to be tried on and for purchase), some of which will be made possible with this small grant. The access to trans affirming resources and wear is scarce in lutruwita/Tasmania and concentrated in the capital city. Books&Binders want to provide a moveable space that gives trans folk of the entire state a space to feel comfortable and safe to be themselves.
