I’m Tyler, 21 years old and i live in England.To bind or not to bind? That is the question.
I’m 50/50 on whether i want to bind or not when i go up town tomorrow night with my team. I want to because i usually feel better about my chest but there are a few negative points to consider.
Let’s do a pro/con list shall we?
Pro
1- If i feel like i’ll pass well and my hips aren’t making me feel dysphoric then the binder will make me feel epic and complete my appearance.
2- It’s another chance to actually see how well i can pass.
3- I’ve worn my binder in front of my team mates before and there have been no issues.
Con
1- I have a habit of feeling great at the start of the night but then feeling like i don’t pass at all by the end, so wearing my binder would just add to dysphoria because i won’t feel it’s helping at all.
2- As much as i’m not there to ‘pull’, it would be nice to feel more comfortable talking to women without feeling like i’m misleading them or missing an opportunity just because i’m presenting as male.
3- Lately my binder hasn’t been quite as effective as i’d like it to be although it works better with certain shirts.
I might be finding it hard to think properly just because i’m at work but that’s as much as i can do at the moment. I’m still seriously undecided; it’s such a gamble every time i go out.
Someone decide for me and i’ll just go with that xD
