Honoring excellence in the transgender community: gc2b and The Marsha P. Johnson Institute

 In 2015, designer and entrepreneur Marli Washington saw a lack of safe, accessible chest binding options for himself and the broader transgender and gender nonconforming community, so he started gc2b–a company creating chest binders designed by trans people, for trans people.

But he didn’t stop there. Being a Black and Latinx trans man, Marli is passionate about uplifting all members of the broader trans community in its full diversity. By donating proceeds from gc2b’s capsule collections, he is able to support organizations like The Marsha P. Johnson Institute, whose mission is to protect and defend the human rights of Black trans people in the United States.
