Affirmation Station visits Shepparton! Exact location emailed upon registration.

This event is for transgender, gender diverse and non-binary people aged 16 years and over.

About the session: If you're interested in buying a binder, but aren't sure what size will work best for you, this is your chance to do an in-person fitting with the team from Transform Transwear!

About the facilitator: Transform is a new Naarm/ Melbourne-based fashion brand launched by Simone Kelly (she/ her) and her 16 year old stepson, Eli (he/ they), after they struggled to find comfortable, safe, locally designed chest binders for Eli.

Eli says: "I got my first binder in 2020 from the internet, and it was so rigid and hard to get into. But once I had it on, and I put a shirt over it, and I was just looking in the mirror, I was so happy and excited. It’s really important that binders are actually comfortable and we couldn’t find that at the time. So when Sim came up with the idea to launch our own, I was so proud and happy and wanted to be part of it.”

The result is a line of binders that have been designed for comfort, safety and style – with tucking underwear and a range of outerwear to follow.
