Who We Are

Trans Tool Shed was founded by longtime trans team members of The Tool Shed, a a mission-driven, education-based sexuality boutique located in Milwaukee, WI.

The Tool Shed has been around since 2004, and our little shop has been providing a wide selection of gender affirming products, books, classes, and other support/educational materials for trans and non-binary folks and their loved ones since 2008.

In 2019, we established Trans Tool Shed as a separate website centering the needs of trans and nonbinary folks. This separate website is more accessible to folks who may not be ready for, or interested in, the broader sexuality-related products offered on our Tool Shed website. Transtoolshed.com offers a dedicated, easy-to-navigate space for exploring and learning about gender affirming products.

Our small team is run and staffed by trans and nonbinary folks, as well as cisgender allies who have supported this important work for over 15 years. Our education specialists at Trans Tool Shed are trans folks with deep knowledge about gender affirming products.

In short, our team is made up of trans folks and allies who have been advocating for trans lives for decades. Thank you for supporting our small, independent business!
