to all the trans guys out there who want to bind but can't, whether it be because of sensory issues or breathing problems or any other reason:

you're not any less of a man for it. it doesn't mean you're okay with them or want to have them there, and if people try to imply that you are because you don't bind, then they're in the wrong for that and you have my permission to not listen to a word out of their mouth. there are people out there who'll believe you about your experience even if you can't do the "typical trans guy things" like binding. i hope that one day you'll be able to access top surgery, if that's a possibility for you <3

#i feel like i always see positivity for non-binding trans dudes from the lens of them being ok with their chest #which is fine & obv doesn't make you any less of a guy either #but it makes me feel worse whenever i can't bind due to my binder being dirty or whatever bc it's like #do they think i want them there now? i don't want people to think that of me (when they do know I'm trans i mean)#and i thought it might be helpful to reassure other trans guys who are similar that them not binding isn't going to signal to other people #that you want to keep them there #unless they're crappy anyway. in which case maybe don't be around them quite as much #trans #transmasc #trans guy #trans man #transsexual #transgender #transmasc positivity #trans positivity #o.
