Pair Of Boxers With Built In Packer - Spectrum Logo On Bottom Edge
MOT/2024/NDOTC/EDIN/033
Tag Made by spectrum outfitters, these boxers are multifunctional. they have a lining for a sanitary towel and a pouch for a packer to go in. The packer inside is made of foam, which means it is comfortable to wear. Packers often help with dysphoria, but I didn't enjoy wearing them. They made me feel a bit too visible.

Pair Of Orange Socks With Navy Tree Pattern
MOT000093
Tag When I came out to my family, no one seemed to understand how or why this happened. Everyone carried on with their lives and I felt extremely unaccepted months went by and Christmas of 2015 and I was very excited to know it was my first Christmas as a boy. And I had worries about this. I wouldn’t accept me who I was. But that morning I woke up to these socks at the end of my bed. from the boys section. I took this as a sign of acception. I continue to get many versions of orange socks and this experience has helped me to give them out too.
