Yeah so can binding with a binder. There are safe ways to do it, and doing it safely is often better than dealing with the dysphoria.

Baggy shirts with a sports bra until you can get an actual binder I’m all for getting rid of disphoria but you have to also take care of yourself binders are sized so you can wear them for up to 8 hours how about yall LOOK UP safe ways to bind

If you bind with big old bitties the likely you will have complications like Heavy breathing and broken ribs this shit is real being trans it not a mental illness but disphoria is considered one as in you shouldn’t have to feel disphoric hence why there’s medical procedures for it you still have to be safe about it

Genuinely do not listen to this rando. Tape CAN be a safe way to bind. I will say, if you’re using a traditional binder, make sure it is the proper size and not too small and NEVER use ace bandages or the like to bind. I am a 32JJ and my binders with baggy shirts only do so much unfortunately. At a certain point, there is no safe way to make yourself look completely flat (besides surgery), but there are safe ways to help.

what i've been doing is using 3 full-length pieces of kt tape per boob, and securing them each with a half-length piece on my side. kinda pulling them in a downward-outward position, with nips still fairly front-facing

Also I have heard that tape unfortunately won’t be super effective if you have a larger chest, but it’s worth trying I suppose? Look up some tutorials on YouTube or something

does that seem fairly safe?

Unfortunately due to my larger chest I’ve never tried binding, so I’m the wrong person to get “approval” from. I would ask the Trans Talk group on yikyak though!
