What to terms like dmab stand for I feel really stupid for not knowing so I want to figure out :)

DMAB/AMAB: Designated/Assigned Male At Birth!

DFAB/AFAB: Designated/Assigned Female At Birth!

Hey. I made a blog (enby-birthdays) where non-binary people send in their birthdays, i put them on a page, and they get a birthday message and a promo. However, including my own, there are only two birthdays. Could you perhaps promo/boost, so I can get more birthdays? If not, sorry if I wasted your time :)

This is such a nice idea!

I’m sorry I didn’t see this message until now, it wasn’t a waste of our time!

For the anon stuck in a binder, I've always found it easiest to get binders on/off by pulling them over my hips instead of over my head and shoulders, so try that if you haven't already. This may not be easier, depending on your body type. I've got kind of broad shoulders and a really flat butt, so it works well for me. There are some tutorials on YouTube for it too.

^ Sorry that this is late!

Help!! I'm stuck inside a extra small gc2b binder! I think I ordered it too small because I had a hell of a time getting it on, the seams were splitting, and I couldn't get it over my arms but it fits my chest right... It look like 20 minutes to get it over my arms. And now I'm stuck. If I cut off the arm straps would that reduce the efficiency? I don't know if you answer this kind of thing but I'm in a bit of a bind here. Heh. Literally though

Oh gosh, be very, very careful.

Right now the main priority is to get out of the binder! If it took you 20 minutes to put it on because it was so tight, I’m thinking that it isn’t a safe chest binder for you to be wearing, arm straps or no arm straps!

Would genderflux be considered non-binary?

I believe so!

guys.... is your blog title a reference to Binary Finary, as in the 1990s trance producer? as in the group that created the classic track 1998??? or maybe my love for 90s electronic music is just making me think this xD

No, I actually came up with it on the spot! I liked it because it rhymed.

okay, so this isn't a question for me but its a question for a friend who cannot access tumblr at the moment. my friend has a lot of trouble with their breasts and cannot get a binder (due to being closeted and underage) so they usually bind using 3 or 4 sports bras at a time. but it causes them a lot of pain and even when they aren't binding but wearing a bra it hurts them. I don't bind myself nor have I ever, so I don't have any advice for them. what do you think of the best thing to do?

Oh goodness.

Please tell your friend that binding with that many sports bras is not healthy, and that they may have damaged what I can only imagine to be their ribs or the muscles in their chest. 

I’m so sorry, I know this might be difficult because your friend is closeted, but it might be best for them to see a doctor if just wearing a regular bra is causing them that much pain.

Please keep us posted!

To the college anon: if it makes you feel any better, you're not alone - I'm in a PhD program and still figuring this stuff out. I hadn't even *heard* of nb identities beyond (the very masculine dfab type of) genderqueer until after undergrad! All the best in finding ways to talk about yourself that fit. /hearts
