seeing videos/art depicting the Closeted Trans Boy using ace bandages to bind makes me so angry. have the character wear two sports bras on top of each other or two tank tops or just baggy clothes?? stop promoting the idea that it’s ok to bind with bandages if you don’t have a binder. a lot of people don’t know how harmful it is.
this got a lot of notes so i figured it would be a good idea to add some links describing what safe binding is and resources for alternative binding methods
- binding safety tips for all methods of binding
- binding safety and different binding methods from hudson’s guide
- more information on binding w/ ace bandages
- MORF binder exchange—globally distributes free binders to trans people, all you have to pay is shipping
- “inabind” binder donation program
- a list of more binder donation programs
- chest binder review blog
- reviews of binders from several popular companies
- homemade binder tutorial
- another homemade binder tutorial
- and one more
three hundred people have already reblogged this post and it would mean the world to me if you all reblogged it again with this new information. a lot of trans people dont have access to binders or know the dangers about binding, especially young trans people and those who have just started to identify as trans—this knowledge could help them immensely and save them (and their bodies) from unnecessary harm
happy binding
