The Stitchbug Studio is selling crocheted penises for trans people, even young kids.
I wish I was kidding:
Bitty Bug® soft packer is a custom prosthetic packer in youth sizes, made from soft durable yarn and polyester filling. It is easy to wear pinned to underclothes or tucked in a packing pouch, and can be felt by the wearer without being visible externally (shown in a pair of undies to demonstrate). Silicone prosthetics do not come in sizes appropriate for smaller bodies, and can create unsightly and age-inappropriate shape. The Bitty Bug® is lightweight, comfortable, low maintenance, and can be tossed in the washing machine.
People responded. The Stitchbug Studio issued a disclaimer but contradicted itself, especially since the smallest size is 1 inch.
Creator Bethany Amborn came up with the idea in October 2019 when they wanted a packer for themselves:
In October 2019 I was looking for a pattern to make a soft packer for myself, after being frustrated by the cost and discomfort of silicone options. I tried the free patterns I could find, and posted some photos in a large LGBTQ+ sewing group. Immediately I had 2 parents ask me please, could you make one for my little son? After hearing from a mother who was just crying with her son, unsure what to do to ease his pain of dysphoria and there being no options available for children, the very first packers I made were for 10 and 6 year old little boys.
Hey, parents. You do not get to determine if your child is trans or non-binary or whatever it is in fashion right now.
The Twitter user is 100% correct. Not just a small diaper, but even kid underwear. I’m all for people identifying however they want. I’ll use your pronouns. I don’t care, but toddlers?
