On-Site Transformation Closets keep an inventory of gender-affirming gear on hand. Through open hours or appointments, they’re there for people to drop in, browse, and take home gear the same day. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, On-Site Closets can also place orders to get item(s) for you to pick up at a later date.

We also have a number of Pick-Up Only locations where you can pick up your order. These locations do not have additional gear in stock.
