"Affirming your gender can be joyful and safe! If your current binding method isn't doing it for you, experiment with other methods. There is a better one out there for you." ?️‍⚧️

I read this to improve my understanding of the non-binary and transmasc experience of binding, and to inform my work in a general NHS counselling service, which is accessible for trans clients.

This graphic guide has personal accounts of several people who bind, ⬇️

Bookwomble ... advice on safe binding, exercises devised by physiotherapists specialising in trans healthcare, and some reflective exercises to develop insight into personal goals and and what may foster movement towards them

Kobabe and Peitzmeier provide an excellent introduction to the subject, with plenty of practical information for its main target readership. 5⭐

This book is an amazing resource; I‘m so glad it exists. My heart hurts for those individuals who have attempted binding with ace bandages or duct tape (!!). Hopefully the information contained in this slim graphic novel will prevent the injuries that can be caused by binding unsafely.
