how do i safely bind without a binder? i’m too scared to outwardly buy a binder because my transphobic family will find out and they most likely know what binders are and what they’re used for. they will then probably call me a girl and say there’s nothing wrong with my chest, but what can i use at home to flatten my chest? i don’t have any sports bras that are smaller sized or anything, but i could probably borrow one from a friend or family member.
I actually don’t wear bras or binders. Ever since I encountered a trans guy who didn’t wear binders but not bras either, just a shirt (optional) underneath and a hoodie and I came out as unlabeled but definitely trans and not cis, I didn’t wear bras. Plus, I heard that binders can be uncomfortable, and I value comfort.
