Graduate student Haobo Zhang designs underwear specifically for transgender women. His ambition is to bring comfort and respect to the millions of people around the world who identify as transgender
NEWARK, Del. - When graduate student Haobo Zhang decided to design underwear specifically for transgender women, his ambition was more high-minded than simply turning in a project to complete his master’s degree in fashion at the University of Delaware.
The computer-generated avatar created from the scan and insights from talking with Sharpe and other trans women will help Zhang create the first-ever transgender underwear designed for mass production, according to Martha Hall, director of the lab and an assistant professor of health sciences at the university.
“Functional design is apparel that makes people’s life better. A garment can protect a fireman, a garment can help disabled people live more conveniently,” said Zhang, who is not a native English speaker. “Some trans woman want to hide their genitals.” Sharpe said she answered the laboratory’s call for participants after other trans women told her of techniques they employed to conceal their male genitals, from wearing a double layer of women’s panties to binding themselves with duct tape.
