A blog where grey-ace people can ask about and discuss life. Only answering the occasional ask, when I have the time. If you don't see a response then it is nothing personal

European Binders

From all the feedback recently I'm attempting to compile different online stores to purchase binders from in Europe. Many of these shops offer items for transfemme shoppers and various other gender affirming items, but not all. I will re-blog with relevant info as I find it.

For the majority of the shops listed, I personally do not know the quality or history. Explore and shop at your own discretion.

Trans-Missie offre des produits faits à la main exclusifs pour les personnes qui souhaitent s'habiller davantage selon leur propre identité

Trans-missie is located in Amsterdam. Very high quality binders. Range of prices and sizes. Offers various other trans related products. This is the only shop on this list that I as OP can personally recommend and attest to the quality.

This is a Finnish article that reviews different Finnish options on where to purchase Binders. The article was written in 2020 and appears to give summaries and links.

BWYA- Be Who You Are is a French online shop where one can purchase Binders and other trans related items.

Undrowear

Undrowear is a German online shop, that offers binders and various others trans related items.

Posiadamy spory asortyment binderów, m.in. długi lub sportowy. Nasze produkty są dostępne w różnych wariantach kolorystycznych. Materiał odp

Iguanatrend is a Polish online shop. It appears to mostly sell binders, but I struggled to navigate the website. Based on feedback I've received, it may be a very small scale shop run by a family.

Polish brand of binders - tops flattening the chest. Top quality materials. Dedicated to non-binary, trans and LGBT people

Binderme is a website that primarily makes binders, but also offers underwear. It is unclear to me at this moment where they are located but they primarily ship within' the EU. They accept the Euro, Polish Zloty, US Dollars, and British Pound currencies.

there's a Czech transdude in one of my servers who was like going through the complex process of trying to get binders from the UK and it's like my dude. that's gonna cost a fuck ton cuz of brexit shipping and so i told him about an online shop in amsterdam. in the process of getting that info one of the irl trans guys i know is like "i have two old binders from that shop, why don't we just mail it to him?"

so i'm mailing him two free binders (it'll be super cheap to send within' the eu) and in exchange i'm getting his grandma's secret recipe for Žemlovka

this is the pinnacle. community is actually about secret grandma recipes and sharing used gender affirming clothing

[grace-and-ace]

Maybe you should read the notes on the Žemlovka post and then you'll calm down

(also check out my pinned post where I list various binder shops in Europe that I've found!)

Look whom I found at pride today

[redbeardace]

Still not perfect, but it is looking vaguely scarflike now.

[redbeardace]

One down!

amatonormativity is responsible for the erasure/invisibility of abuse in platonic relationships send post

[biblicallyaccuratemoth]

The first LGBT group I ever joined asked me to leave because they didn’t consider asexual to count as queer. It wasn’t visible enough to them. And more than that, they were concerned that I was a CisHet man only using the label of asexual to sneak into what was meant to be a safe space

Now that I’m out and transitioned, I still run up against this suspicion that I’m just infiltrating spaces and making them dangerous for the people they’re meant to protect

I’m tired of being seen as a predator when I’m just trying to exist

YOU'RE NOT AN ALLY TO QUEER PEOPLE IF YOU'RE APHOBIC

[le-jardin-inculte]

ice cold take, your concept of consent is fucking worthless if it doesn't acknowledge and fully accept that for some people, "no" means "not ever"

not later, not in a week, not in a year, not with someone else, not ever. full stop.

and this applies to romance as well as sex

[redbeardace]

Yeah, that looks better.

AARHUS

ENGLISH BELOW Senere på måneden tager vi på udflugt til Kunsthal Aarhus, hvor der er gratis entré og vi får mulighed for at udforske museet. ENGLISH Later this month we'll go on a field trip to Kunsthal Aarhus, where there is no entrance fee, and we'll be able to explore the museum.

Speckled Trans Flag! An additional 30 feet for the scarf. Now at 596ft.

[redbeardace]

This might be the 25th scarf.

Also, there is so much scarf I'm losing confidence that it has all been properly documented. I may have failed to record a flag and have underestimated things. Or have I overcounted? I don't know. Scarf. So much scarf.

[redbeardace]

Another 36 feet of scarf, so I'm now officially at 444 feet.

And another size estimate, a bit more concrete this time: Based on the panels I've completed but haven't stitched, the yarn that I have but haven't knitted, and the yarn I have on order, it's definitely looking more and more like it'll come in around 800 feet. That's kind of a "I have to stop sometime" limit. I wouldn't have run out of flags at that point, but it would be microer and microer labels beyond that point...

To get that far, I'm going to have to do a bunch of the harder to do flags, too. The ones I've been putting off because they're beyond my current skill level of "Just use the machine to knit a 5 foot tube, then sew the tubes together".
