GenderBender is a trans-owned brand creating gender-affirming garments in Los Angeles, California. Founded in 2017 by Xandre Shephard, the brand was inspired by the mission to solve common problems for an underserved market in the trans community. Initially starting with comfortable and high-quality binders for plus-sized individuals, people with low mobility, and those with sensory issues; GenderBender quickly garnered positive reviews and expanded its offerings.
As a non-binary individual, Xandre deeply needed to represent and validate individuals across the entire gender spectrum. This led to the development of a diverse range of products, including body tape, chest binders and compression tops, tucking gaffs and compression shorts, swimwear, gender gear, and pride accessories.
