About

Trans Tool Shed is a leading resource for quality products and information for trans and non-binary people, and their loved ones.

Trans Tool Shed means a lot to us because we are trans and non-binary people who have been advocating around trans and non-binary issues for a long time. We've been testing and comparing gender expression products for more than a decade. Members of our team have been doing trans advocacy work and providing information and resources for over twenty years.

As an organization, Trans Tool Shed's history goes back to 2008, when The Tool Shed-- a mission-driven, education-based sexuality boutique located in Milwaukee, WI-- began offering a diverse selection of gender expression supplies to both local and online customers. The Tool Shed team has been dedicated to this task ever since then, helping people find breast forms, packers, STPs, shaping garments, binders, books, and other items, with the goal of enhancing trans and non-binary lives.

In 2019, the Tool Shed team created the unique Trans Tool Shed site (transtoolshed.com) as a part of this continued mission.  We did this for a number of reasons.  First, we want a separate, more focused space where trans and non-binary needs are placed at the center.  Second, we want trans folks of all ages (and their loved ones) to be able to use this site as a resource.  Third, we want a dedicated project through which we can more effectively offer our team's decades of experience in both trans product knowledge and trans advocacy.

In addition to offering quality products, books, and information, team members at Trans Tool Shed are also available to provide consultation, education, and workshop services for individuals and organizations.  Please see our services page for more information.

This is our community. We care deeply about trans and non-binary folks being able to feel at home in their bodies, and live their best lives.
