Grey t-shirt printed with a black banner reading 'MY GENDERATION'

This top was released by Topshop and Topman in collaboration with Calm (Campaign Against Living Miserably) for World Mental Health Day 2019. The front of the T-shirt crosses out the word 'Collected' and writes above it 'Connected'. On the back of the t-shirt, it has instructions on 'how to handle with care', in the format of typical washing instructions. The instructions include information about how to access the CALM helpline. This t-shirt has been a great conversation starter over the years and led to some really important conversations within the community about mental health and access.

Wednesday Holmes is a Non-binary, Lesbian Illustrator and Author living in Brighton. They designed this top in 2024 to raise funds for the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Due to the first fundraiser gaining so much interest, Wednesday has done multiple fundraisers with the same design since. I bought this t-shirt during the 2nd fundraiser.

This t-shirt was bought by my mum at a retail store. I came out to her a few years previously and randomly one day she gifted me this t-shirt. We never had a specific conversation about the random present. She's the type of person to see something that she thinks someone else would like and then buys it 'just because'. The first few years after coming out was quite tumultuous so it meant a lot at the time. I don't wear it because it doesn't fit me but I can't throw it away, so it stays hanging on the clothing rail
