Company selling knitted genitalia for transgender children responds to backlash

A small “queer-owned” company that sells youth-sized knitted penises for transgender children or their parents responded to a wave of backlash on Monday that suggested the fake genitals were designed for infants.

Stitchbug Studio sells a product called the “Bitty Bug,” which has been dubbed a “custom prosthetic packer” in “youth sizes.” The small knitted penises quickly became the subject of controversy as some pointed to the item potentially being used for infants in diapers.
