NationStates' Transgender Thread

[Replevion]

What we need is one big house for all the beautiful people here. :3

I hate spring and summer. It keeps getting warmer and I can't wear as many layers and it's harder to cover up things I don't want people to see.

I know that won't always be an issue for you!

Indeed so.

Meanwhile over here in transfeminine land, I'm like sundresses, fuck yesssss. I'm the most comfortable I've ever been. And just in time, it's going to friggin' 90s all next week.

You have a time machine. Sell it so we can get the house. For the cause!

That house would be super awesome.

I wish my mom would let me get a binder, but she thinks it's not safe or something.

I dunno what a binder is…

A binder is a thing transmasculine people use to make their chests look flatter. And they can indeed be unhealthy if done improperly and/or with excessive tightness.

Would wearing baggy tops help him?

A binder is a thing transmasculine people use to make their chests look flatter. And they can indeed be unhealthy if done improperly and/or with excessive tightness.

Even "good" binders are still dangerous if worn too long at a stretch, and binding is a particularly risky proposition for anyone whose body is still growing. There can be issues with permanently damaging blood vessels, connective tissues, and even ribs. It's also possible to compress the spine, leading to pain and possible nerve damage, or to collapse a lung.

Speaking as someone who has daydreamed about taking a deli slicer to their chest, I absolutely understand the appeals of binding. But I worry about the huge increase in young people using binders because there is so much potential for injury.

It doesn't make a difference, or is possibly worse, depending on the shirt. Sometimes baggier shirts tend to have wrinkles and folds in places I don't want them.

I'm aware of the risks, but if I'm going to do it anyway, I may as well get a proper binder and lower the risks at least a little bit.

And I haven't grown in years, so I don't think growing is too much of an issue.

Looks like I'm going to scour the discussion for links like these and do a big update on the OP

I ignored that thing that said plaid was bad and bought more plaid. Purple plaid. That's totally going to be more convincing than my other plaid, right?

Well, I guess you could wear a kilt. Its the manliest way to be pantsless.
