. . . but Reader, I just have to share a super-special company with you: ​Lion+Owl​.

Lion+Owl is making a difference for kids everywhere—especially transgender children who deserve to feel comfortable, positive, and brave in their clothing.

Lion+Owl believes every child should feel confident in their own skin, no matter their identity, so they’ve created an apparel collection that embraces inclusivity, comfort, and positivity. Their pieces are designed to be gender-neutral, sensory-friendly, and stylish—allowing kids to express themselves authentically.

I’ve recently gotten to know and admire Jeff Bender, the founder of this company. Jeff started Lion+Owl because he couldn’t find the right clothing options for his transgender daughter.

He wanted her to be exactly who she wanted to be but found that most options out there limited her choices. Jeff set out to change that, and along the way he realized that not only do our transgender kids need more options, but ALL kids do, too.

While Lion+Owl is an apparel company for ALL KIDS, they do have some incredible features included in the designs that directly help transgender children between the ages of 5 and 12 years old:

Tag-Free Hoodies

• Baseball-style hemline to hide private areas.
• Wave pattern to help hide developing chests and a bit of camo to divert attention away from the center of our kids' bodies.

Solid Leggings

• No center seam! This creates a flat front perfect for trans girls who need more of their privates hidden.
• Built-in liner helps smooth out the front and creates a more private fit for both trans boys and trans girls.

Tag-Free Tees

• Pattern features a camouflaging wave to help hide developing chests.
• Baseball-style hemline provides extra coverage for private areas.

Gender Neutral Designs

• Designs and colors allow transgender children to pick what makes them feel seen, supported, and brave.

Help spread the word about the wonderful things Lion+Owl is doing, whether through sharing their story, connecting them with others who align with their values, or just exploring their collection.
