The binder
Oct 20, 2023
I never thought I needed a binder until I tried one. Actually, at first, I didn't even knew that this existed.
But it helps a lot forgetting about a chest that feels too present and to finally have mental space to enjoy basic social interactions and life outside.
It was a pain in the ★ss to go to the gym tho, seeing this breasts while working out. Even with a sport bra, it was too visible, too weird and I got to a point where it was impossible for me to feel comfortable anywhere at the gym. I felt so bad about it, gym is the only space where I don't think much about anything else than exercising. And bringing dysphoria in there was... Well, maybe not "depressing", but I felt sad to have to think about my dysphoria EVERYWHERE.
So when I discovered the sport binder, I was so f★cking happy. Ofc, it doesn't bind as much as a regular binder and you can see the demarcation under the tank top, but it's WAY better and I finally can enjoy the gym back again.
Tho, wearing a binder is pretty bad for the skin, and since I still dream of getting a top surgery one day, I try to wear it as less as possible to keep an healthy skin elasticity. It's tough some day, but it's for the good cause I guess ಥ‿ಥ

I did not know that sports binders were a thing… this is going on my shopping list. I’ve been wanting to get more active for a while and have only felt dread knowing that I wouldn’t be able to wear a binder, so hopefully this will help me out.
I’m also really glad I found this comic. I find it’s quite validating and relatable and it makes me think about the journey I have ahead of me. Thank you author, for posting your experiences <3
