Becoming yourself can be an act of defiance.

The The Man I Fought to Become premium heavyweight tee honors the work, persistence, and courage that can go into becoming the man you know yourself to be. Bold vintage-inspired typography and subtle trans flag colors give the design a worn-in, unapologetic look without turning it into a traditional Pride graphic.

Designed with trans men and transmasculine people in mind, this heavyweight version pairs the message with a more substantial, structured shirt for a classic masculine silhouette.

You didn’t need permission to become yourself. You fought for the right to live as him.
