I'm Alo! I am a 27 year old non binary counselor and my pronouns are they/them. 

​

I created my company Girls and Gays to be just that, a gender affirming care service.

​

Gender affirming care is an important service made to enhance the comfort and safety of individuals who identify with a gender different than their assigned sex at birth. 

​

These services range from teaching parents how to create an inclusive and accepting environment for their loved ones, to gender affirming styling for lgbtqia+ individuals. These services are also meant to facilitate more authentic and meaningful relationships within families. Especially families of people who might feel uncomfortable or not know how to express themselves.

 

I have been a fashion stylist for 9 years and I ended up with pages of tips, tricks, and essentials to make outfits more gender affirming for anyone. Gender euphoria can be reached with the right outfit, I have experienced it first hand! Simply, gender affirming styling is meant to help people find their new personal style or refine their current one. 

​

I have been out as non binary for 4 years but, I knew I was non binary since I was a child. I grew up with no understanding of myself and no understanding of how to create the community I desperately needed. This is why assisting people along their journey with gender identity and personal identity is my lifelong passion.
