Yukon Gender Gear Program

Any information provided through the application process is strictly confidential and will only be available to relevant Queer Yukon staff to manage the program and coordinate delivery of your gear. You will not be added to any mailing lists by submitting a request to this program.

Any personal identifying information collected through this program will be deleted within three months after the order was placed.

If you have any confidentiality concerns, please let us know via the Gender Gear request form, anonymously on our Community Safety page or by emailing us at: info@queeryukon.com

Individuals are welcome to apply on behalf of someone else living in the Yukon. Community organizations or other service providers are welcome to place confidential orders on behalf of their clients.

The items will be mailed in discreet packaging with no mention of Queer Yukon on the packaging.

Only chest binders may be returned WITHOUT wearing deodorant, as any stains or markings will make the binder non-returnable. This is due to the personal nature of the rest of the gender gear.

We expect that it will take 3-4 weeks after we place an order for the items to arrive in Whitehorse and for our team to deliver them. We will do our best to keep you updated on the status of your order.

If you get the wrong size binder, please contact Mira at: mira@queeryukon.com to coordinate an exchange for the correct size. If you are unsure of your size, please try on the binder WITHOUT wearing deodorant, as any stains or markings will make the binder non-returnable.

Northern Voices Rising (NVR) has worked to develop some of the groundwork for this program over the past several months.

All Genders Yukon Society (AGYS) has been supporting Trans, Two-Spirit and Non-binary people for years. They have worked at a grassroots community level to help people get access to Gender Gear whenever possible.

Queer Yukon Society (QYS) has received numerous requests for assistance with accessing Gender Gear.

From the website: “Founded in 1997, GenderGear.ca is a worker-owned co-operative located in Ontario, Canada. Owned-and-operated by trans and gender variant folks, we're here to make finding gender gear simple, easy, and affordable. We wear, read, and use all of the stuff we stock, and we only carry products we truly love! Learn more about us, get in touch, or go shopping now!”

Queer Yukon gratefully acknowledges funding from Blood Ties Four Directions, Reaching Home and Employment and Social Development Canada. This program was originally launched with funding from the Canadian Red Cross Emergency Support to Community Organizations Program and the Government of Canada.
