misandry-machine-3000: sapphos-catpanions: d3nt4l-d4m4g3: r/ftm about damage from binding, all posted within the past year. Binding is not safe. I was only on testosterone for 3 months and was relatively unscathed, but I was binding for a year and a half, 6-8 hours a day (what is considered “safe binding practice”). and that also may not sound like a lot of time, but I cannot wear bras anymore, over 2 years after I stopped binding. not even wireless, soft bralettes because if i wear one my ribs hurt and i have shooting pains when I breathe. Safe binding is an oxymoron. @misandry-machine-3000 i remember you said you were looking for a source on the dangers of binding. obviously any “official” information sources aren’t going to give it to you straight, but these are some trans guys in their own words about how bad they fucked their torsos up.i can’t even count how many times i was told to make sure to bind “safely”: not more than 8 hours at a time, don’t sleep in it, don’t exercise or swim in it, take it off if it bothers you. i naively believed that these aphorisms were backed up by some kind of scientific research. they were not. they are, as best i can tell, memes originating from the community itself. i couldn’t be more grateful. thanks a lot again. -- source link
