A Nova Scotia youth organization is handing out “gender-affirming items” such as prosthetic breasts, fake penises and chest binders to “two spirit, trans, non-binary or gender questioning youth” under the age of 25.
The Youth Project is a non-profit charity focused on providing gender identity services to youth and the organization lists the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness and the Nova Scotia Department of Education as supporters.
“The Youth Project provides a variety of gender affirming items to youth in need throughout the province of Nova Scotia,” the gender-affirming items web page states.
Among the items it gives out free of charge to youth who request them are chest binders, groin packers, trans tape, tucking underwear and prosthetic breasts.
“In order to provide the best breast form size for you, we use band size measurements. To find out your band size, please measure around your ribs directly below your chest tissue,” claims the Youth Project.
One of the online retailers the group is directing youth to includes Venus Envy, which advertises sex toys such as a “banana dildo” and “pleasure ring” on its front page.
“If you wish to purchase a binder, packer, gaff, trans tape, or breast forms locally, you can do so at Venus Envy,” writes the Youth Project.
Another retailer advertised by the tax-payer funded program, Origami Customs, sells BDSM gear like “harnesses and collars” and includes images of nude models.
“Our gaffs are from Origami Customs. In order to find out your best fit, please measure yourself based off of their size guide,” writes the Youth Project.
According to the Youth Project, the gender-affirming item project is in high demand and has a “lengthy waitlist” of up to three months.
“There is currently a lengthy waitlist for some of our gender affirming items, with wait times of up to 3 months depending on size and style requested. Orders continue to be filled in order of receiving as we receive supply,” states the Youth Project.
