The USF Gender and Sexuality Center and Gleeson Library are partnering on a Gender-Affirming Clothing Closet Pop-Up and Clothing Swap!⁠
⁠
Location: Gleeson Library, second floor, Conversational Area⁠
Date: Wednesday, April 5th⁠
Time: 3-4 pm⁠
⁠
Bring clothing to swap and/or take clothing to use. We will also have library resources available for check out as well as librarians on staff to help anyone find the resources they may be looking for.⁠
⁠
The Gender Affirming Clothing Closet (GACC) is an on-campus resource with the intention of providing trans and gender non-conforming USF students access to free clothing and accessories within a safe space. Trans and gender non-conforming students can take as much or as little as they want.⁠
⁠
This closet exists because trans and gender non-conforming 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 kindly ask that students refrain from taking items for hobbies such as drag or cosplay, or reselling items through second-hand apps and retailers.⁠
