Blue Unicorn Tee

I (Bella) designed a limited edition unicorn tee available exclusively online with the proceeds being split between my recent top surgery and the charity Mermaids.

I want to bring my mind and body into closer connection and would be eternally grateful for your support on this journey

My relationship with gender and the band have been inextricably entwined. It was through this project that I was able to begin unraveling my relationship with compulsory gender norms and getting comfortable with my truth as a nonbinary person.

We’re splitting the profits 80/20 with the charity Mermaids who do amazing work to support transgender, nonbinary and gender diverse young people.

It felt important to support a charity like Mermaids as this band is a gift to our teenage selves - modeling in the world what we couldn’t see back then. Growing up under section 28 there is a part of me that deeply grieves for my teenage self and the lack of access I had to language and resources. With the current consultation for schools surrounding gender questioning students it is a troubling time for trans, NB and gender nonconforming young people and it is vitally important to support these kids!

When we went on our first ever tour I brought this transgender unicorn patch from some queer punx at a warehouse show in Vancouver. I wanted to design a shirt in homage to this sweet unicorn guiding the way on my gender journey

Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and at home in their bodies
Trans people deserve access to adequate support, medical care and body autonomy
If you are able to support - thank you from the whole of my heart

Peace love and trans liberation friends
