"Trans People Will Always Exist" offers a nuanced take on pride merchandise, crafted by and for transgender individuals. This creation stands in defiance of rainbow capitalism, inspired by a dishearteningly mismatched shirt from Target that failed to capture the essence of its message. Being transgender transcends mere politics or commercial interests; it's a deeply personal journey deserving of representation in clothing. Carefully selecting colors from our flag and incorporating playful patterns, I meticulously hand-stitched the lettering to infuse the garment with a sense of humanity. Beyond the confines of Pride Month, this shirt serves as a poignant reminder that transgender individuals possess narratives that extend far beyond a single month of celebration.
