In Transition Clothesline 

Kids              Teens             Adults

Moving forward with you

Picture
Our goal is to help support transgender kids, teens and adults who live in Renfrew County, Ontario, by sourcing locally donated clothing on a one-to-one, custom-need basis.  

There are many aspects to socially transitioning for a transgender and gender diverse person. Clothing that affirms one's gender can be a lifeline that dramatically increases the quality of everyday life. 

In Transition Clothesline will source gently used clothing that will affirm each individual's gender in their style and size. We recognize that this can be a timely, financial and emotional challenge for families who are in the process of sourcing affirmative care.
​

​Let us help to ease the barriers and make your journey a little smoother. You are not alone.



In Transition Clothesline operates throughout Renfrew County, in partnership with Family & Children`s Services of Renfrew County. Special thanks to Pflag Halifax for inspiring this idea and allowing us to reprint their content.

​WHY DOES THE CLOTHESLINE MATTER?
Research shows that along with supporting a child, having access to social transition tools (clothing, name, pronoun) is vital to improving the lives of trans youth who wish to transition.(Families in Transition)

In a recent survey with trans youth across Canada, those who were living full-time in their felt gender were almost 50% more likely to report good or excellent mental health than those who were not (Veale et al., 2015).
