Bright, bold, and impossible to ignore, the Defend Trans Baddies tee is a joyful celebration of the transgender community and a call to stand up for one another. Featuring original artwork by SF Mercantile artist Leon Ishizu, the design transforms a vintage matchbook into a symbol of visibility, resilience, and solidarity.
Created with vibrant colors drawn from the transgender pride flag, the artwork features heart-tipped matches, a raised hand holding a lit match, and the messages "Stand Up" and "Speak Out," reminding us that support begins with action. More than just a graphic tee, it's a statement of love, allyship, and the belief that every person deserves to live openly, safely, and authentically.
Printed in San Francisco using eco-friendly water-based inks, this incredibly soft 50% polyester, 25% cotton, 25% rayon unisex tee offers a lightweight, lived-in feel that's perfect for Pride events, everyday wear, or anyone who wants to show visible support for the transgender community.
