[image descriptions: three illustrations, contained within circles on black backgrounds. The first, titled Mage, is a nighttime scene. A sword with a blade wreathed in blue flame is stuck into a large rock. The rock is flat on top and has an eye symbol carved into it. There is a vial of purple potion and  a gold amulet on top of the rock, and various items surrounding the rock in the grass, including: a staff with a glowing blue bauble hanging off it, an open spellbook, a scroll tied with a purple ribbon, and shard of glowing blue crystal. There are tall leafy plants behind the rock, and a clear night sky full of stars.

The second, titled Warrior, is a scene on flat, grassy land. The sun is low, casting long shadows. There are two swords, a staff and an axe stuck into the ground, as well as a flag pole from which a long, tattered red banner flag is blowing in the wind. A decorated medieval helm is on the ground as well.

The third, titled Assassin, shows a scene at twilight. The sky is full of stars and a purple light is cast on the scene. There are two large rocks with smaller rocks nearby. Atop one of the larger rocks is a skull with a sword stabbed through it, blood dripping beneath. Two arrows are stuck into the grass, alongside a vial of poison. There are tall, bare trees in the background, casting long shadows. End ID.]

We really have harmed a whole generation of trans and gnc children by failing to communicate how serious a decision binding actually is, how there’s no ACTUALLY safe way to bind, how it permeneantly damages the body, how it can make top surgery more difficult in the future. I don’t think we should be keeping trans kids from binding (we let kids do all sorts of things they’re really not old enough to understand the potential consequences of) but we owe them the ability to make informed decisions at LEAST

[arty-ari]

So this is definitely an important conversation to have, but can you point me at some reading about “permanent damage”? I might just be lucky, but I had zero lasting effects from binding. I’d like to at least read up on it so I can have this conversation and be more specific than “be careful.”

[partialbirthabortion]

Of course! I can’t easily source right now but I am more than happy to provide further info when I am not at work and on mobile. Unfortunately, like a lot of trans healthcare, a lot of what we know about binding is anecdotal and word of mouth. BUT permeneant damage can include:

-Musculoskeletal damage. Binders are indiscriminate compression tools; they can’t flatten the chest without applying pressure every other anatomical structure underneath including the spine, ribs, lungs and heart. Many people who bind experience chronic back pain, shoulder pain, sharp stabbing chest pains, permeneantly decreased lung capacity, literal spine deformation, etc etc.

-A continuation of the above but the ribs are actually jointed bones. Their ability to flex is absolutely vital to their ability to withstand trauma and protect your vital organs. Imagine the damage that would be done to your elbow if your bent your arm to full flexion and then tightly bound it closed like that, for six, eight, twelve hours per day, every day, for weeks or months or years. And you don’t NEED a functioning arm to live!

-Tissue atrophy. Forcing chest tissue to lay in an unnatural way can and will change the way that tissue looks, even to risk of atrophy. Some people who bind and only moderately dislike the way their chest looks find that they HATE the way it looks after binding for a period of time. Tissue atrophy can also make top surgery more difficult in the future, and increase the risk of complications like nerve damage.

-Worsened dysphoria. Once someone starts binding and becomes accustomed to seeing themselves with a flat chest, it can be much more difficult to see yourself without one, and dysphoria that much more intolerable. You can imagine the psychological feedback loop of binding more in response.

The typical safety measures passed around about binding are harm REDUCTION measures and should not be advertised as making binding “safe.” Binding is not safe. It is a very serious health decision with long term consequences and should be treated as such. That doesn’t mean it’s the wrong decision, but it should not be considered the DEFAULT decision for chest dysphoria which is frankly how it’s currently treated.
