First Line of Lingerie Debuts for Transgender Women

*The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender (LGBT) community has their share of problems in mainstream society, but one problem can be checked off the list for transgender women…lingerie.

The Chrysalis line of lingerie has been developed for the transgender women by transgender women. According to The Daily Beast, the lingerie line, while it has been in existence since summer 2011, it will fully relaunch the line in May of this year.

The lingerie line was developed by Cy Lauz, an interior designer and fashion stylist, who made his transition into a woman in 2006, found a lack of undergarments that supported that transition. Lauz collaborated with Simone Tobias, who was also a transwoman, but also a creative director for a menswear company.
