Children’s Hospital Gender Clinic Guide to ‘Safe Tucking’ Passed Out

A guide to “safe tucking,” produced by the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, was passed out at the Burbank Pride Parade.

The guide included diagrams that depicted “tucking” a practice used by those who identify as transgender that “makes the genital area look smoother and flatter” by “moving the penis, testicles, or both out of the way.”

The guide includes a “note on the words we use,” remarking “this information uses the words ‘penis,’ ‘scrotum,’ and ‘testicles.’ We know you may not use those terms or identify with them.” It goes on to say, “We use them … while understanding those words are not for everyone.”

One page of the guide includes diagrams, which both describe and depict how men can tuck by “putting your testicles inside your body.”

The guide was produced by the Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, which is located in Portland, Oregon. The hospital’s gender clinic also has a guide for chest binding, a practice that involves “wrapping something around your chest to flatten your breasts” in order for a woman to look more masculine.
