The Gender Affirmation Closet

What is the Gender Affirmation Closet?

The Gender Affirmation Closet is a resource where members of the UC Davis community, including Trans and Gender Nonconforming students, can find free clothing and accessories. You can take as much or as little as you want at once.

This closet exists because Trans and Gender Nonconforming people can have a hard time finding places where they can shop comfortably due to discrimination, can find it financially difficult to replace large amounts of clothes to help them express their gender and can find it financially difficult to purchase clothing due to job discrimination.

No one has to prove they are "trans enough" to use the closet. We ask people to refrain from taking items for hobbies such as drag or cosplay. It is open at any time the center is open.

Items in the Gender Affirmation Clothing Closet include:

  • Skirts, dresses, blouses
  • Pants, button-ups, shorts, jackets
  • Accessories, jewelry
  • Trans-Affirming Shapewear
  • Binders
