      1. THREAD. In response to our tweets about pediatric packers, a source sent us a collection of screen grabs from a Facebook group for "affirming" parents. The group has 1000s of members, including not just parents, but some therapists & trans activists.https://twitter.com/4th_WaveNow/status/1104427039082405888 …

      New product from Tranzwear: "Best boy bump for the little guys." Because your FTM preschooler needs an "appropriate" sized bulge in their pants. Choose caramel or peach colored. http://www.tranzwear.net/store.php/TranZwear/pd9488550/best_boy_bump_for_the_little_guys#images … pic.twitter.com/I6DWMe1sNF

      2. The source told us there are "way too many posts about packers for little kids to capture them all. Even more about teen FTMs." We are posting here a small sampler of what she has sent us so far. Suffice it to say, penis prosthetics are a popular purchase for some parents.

      6. Returning to the screen grabs from the large FB support group for "affirming" parents, this parent corroborates what others have said about the Philadelphia Trans Health conference: Pediatric packers are displayed and sold there.pic.twitter.com/sZlozJIqzL

          7. Another plug for Tranzwear, to "fill the bump" in hockey pants. Evidently some parents "research" penises for Christmas presents. Too bad the 7-year-old so far has shown "zero interest."pic.twitter.com/odRt0Y930r

          10. Kids will be kids, even when it comes to a treasured (?) fake penis. What's a parent to do when their son's phallus gets left behind in a hotel room?pic.twitter.com/i5Mb1ac5AQ

          12. Five year old "afab" is annoyed he can't get bottom surgery until 18, but a packer will do for now. There are many more posts from Tranzwear customers. And we haven't yet touched on stores that sell tucking devices for toddler MTFs. More to come later.pic.twitter.com/1NZO2QySWD

          15. Plenty of ways to prevent your 7-year-old's fake phallus from falling out & landing on the bathroom floor at school. [Anyone who thinks TranzWear isn't a winning business model? Parents have been hawking the site for at least the past 4 years; this post is from a week ago.]pic.twitter.com/UICXq9N9sS

          17. "Time to dive in w/a packer," even though the child since age 4 (!?) has said they are just a "boy with a vagina." Notice how other parents discourage acceptance of a preschooler's natural anatomy & push for the packer--**even when the child herself is not in distress.**pic.twitter.com/NkPFzbkKcU

          20. Cleaning tips, how to help your "son" avoid the "at attention" look, and... watch out for pet dogs & cats who like to chew on things. It's the modern-day "Hints from Heloise" for the #WrongBodyism family. And yes, sorry to say, all the posts appear to be by moms, not dads.pic.twitter.com/F0k30maODJ

          21. Stocking stuffer suggestions for a teen trans boy (the 15-year-old outgrew the dill pickle gift from last year): One mom recommends The Tool Shed (an "adult store") but there's always Amazon. Don't forget the underwear to make the packer sit right.pic.twitter.com/aJpINKsDw2
