A Story of Authenticity, Community, and Resilience
Stevie’s adventure started when their boss asked them for a t-shirt version of a powerful social media graphic they’d made that read “You Will Have To Go Through Me”. They went on to make another shirt that read ”You Can’t Erase Us” and decided to post them online. People loved them! So Stevie quickly put together a website, and that was the beginning of Stevie’s Safe Spaces.
To get their work out there, Stevie would send shirts to folks on TikTok. Some of them would post videos that would eventually find their way back to them. Last summer, though, Stevie and their husband decided to go bigger:
“I asked a bunch of friends who I know are fans of David Tennant if they wanted to write letters. We ended up sending a box with a bunch of fan mail and our T-shirt designs.”
The package sent to actor David Tennant led to a viral moment when his spouse, Georgia Tennant, shared photos of him wearing the shirt. This resulted in more than 3,000 orders from people all over the world! This allowed Stevie to do some product development, support as many trans-owned creators as they could, and answer mutual aid calls.
“At the time, the t-shirts were funding a scholarship I founded in the name of Greyson Jones, who passed as a result of transphobia. After the surge of orders from David's visibility, we raised $10,000.00 for Greyson's scholarship.”
It’s been 3 years and 1 viral moment since their journey started. Stevie’s Safe Spaces has grown into a global community rooted in love, connection, and mutual aid. So when Stevie reached out to us to collaborate, we were absolutely thrilled!
As a gender doula, Stevie also supports folks through their transgender journey, meaning their medical, legal, and social transition. We immediately connected over our shared mission: making gender-affirming gear accessible, comfortable, and empowering.
“I love everything that urBasics stands for. I like the content that you guys put out. It's all educational, informative. It's not just about selling a product, it's a lot more.”
Together, we couldn't be more proud and excited to introduce the 2-in-1 Stevie's Safe Spaces Packing Boxers—a limited edition version of our signature urBasics Packing Boxers, designed for those seeking a comfortable, joyous, and affirming packing experience <3
These boxers are more than just a product—they’re a symbol of community, resilience, and the power of showing up for one another. Every purchase supports our ongoing commitment to trans joy, mutual aid, and making safe spaces visible and accessible.
“You’re not alone. Stay focused because there are a lot of distractions right now, and make sure that you build your community close to home."
