This pin is collaboration with b. against the binary. 50% of profits from this pin are donated to: Third Wave Fund What is b. against the binary?b. against the binary was born shortly after the birth of our child. As queer parents, we were confronted by a world in which, in order to guarantee us equal legal protections to our child, we would need to complete a second parent adoption. This reality was both emotionally and financially taxing. It also further illustrated oppressive dynamics that we both knew well as a queer, non-binary, interracial couple, but that we were now experiencing through the new lens of parenthood.From the moment we announced that we were expecting a baby, we were inundated with assumptions and questions about our unborn baby's future gender identity. Once our child was born, we witnessed all of the ways their sex assigned at birth dictated the way they were perceived and the treatment they received. We want our child and other children in this next generation to feel liberated from the inherently oppressive dynamics of the gender binary. We want a world where children are asked, "who are you?" rather than, "what are you?" We want a world where children are safe to be and become their whole selves.We decided to design, produce and sell BABIES AGAINST THE BINARY onesies and toddler t-shirts and BABES AGAINST THE BINARY adult garments to defray some of the exorbitant costs of our second parent adoption process. After meeting our initial need, we decided to continue as a family business, with the goal of continuing to support families and communities like ours by bringing visibility to this message and by donating to organizations that are fighting for gender justice locally and worldwide. With love and gender liberation for all,Anastasia & Pam Fujiib. against the binary This pin has two clasps to keep it in place. This pin has small parts and is not made for children!
