Is Edenfantasys inclusive to trans women?

Contributor: angstygoose angstygoose
most "gender play" products seem to be ftm-oriented in nature, there's not much on here that caters to trans women and it bothers me. anyone else notice this? opinions?

What items are you looking for? MTF people can easily buy lingerie. EF's not the place for wigs, shoes, or falsies. EF has a limited assortment of packers but those often can double as dildos. Likewise, EF has some harnesses but those don't specifically have to involve gender play.

Is there somewhere else that has more options? I wasn't aware if there was.

You're right. As it unfortunately always goes, this trans space has mostly been taken over by transguys.
Target carries bra inserts ( link ) which I've heard work better with push-up bras. I've also heard that shapeware panties help with tucking. I think we should start sending e-mails to Edenfantasys to demand products for trans women

I think that would be a great idea. I believe it could be a lucrative business opportunity for them!

Eden has consistently turned down all attempts from members to get them to carry even something as basic and nonsexual as a binder. I am not saying it's not a great idea for them to branch out into parts of the market that are under-served by mainstream sex sites. However, I doubt they will ever go there *sigh*. I remember a year ago, in the suggestion section on the forum where we would recommend items for Eden to carry, someone did post realistic looking, fake, wearable pussies (like an equivalent of a packer, but for MtF). I remember it was met with a lot of comments, most unkind, but I think they eventually removed it? They certainly weren't interested in carrying them.

Anyway, I remember hearing from the admins repeatedly that Eden was not going to branch out into any of the specifically *trans stuff, just as they wouldn't get into the more specialized, or "hardcore" BDSM stuff. They are all about mainstream and it's a shame as they could really take some subjects out of the shadows and mainstream them more! Once people start seeing these products, the mystery and surprise disappears, just like it did for people seeing cuffs and floggers. Eventually, they get used to it and then they become more interested in it, too, and hopefully they become more informed in general and more accepting.

I am not trying to be a downer here! I just wanted to mention what I know about it so you have an idea where Eden has stood on the topic before. They can always change though and I think it can't hurt to send Fred (the owner) an email telling him of your interest in seeing such items on the site as radioboy suggests!

I think EF would only be interested in carrying trans* products if they were to become a popular commodity, like the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. Unfortunately, most of the traffic from this site favors standard heterosexuality so I don't think that EF will be making any drastic changes soon.

You can find silicone breast forms (falsies) at TrueKare. What other products does mtf gender play require? Makeup, wigs, and breast pads are available at plenty of more mainstream (non-sex-toy) stores.

I found Come As You Are, another sex toy company based in Toronto, that carries a larger amount of "gender play" stuff that actually includes trans women! Most of the products are geared towards FAAB folks, but at least it's a start. If they don't/won't carry the products here, I guess it's just time to go somewhere that will link

Thanks for generating discussion about this. As a more privileged queer/non-cis/non-het non-norm person I often miss these kinds of things. I hope EF starts listening to y'all's needs. Get with the program!
