Stop making reader using unhealthy binding methods, you might not think anything of it but it normalizes that shit. If you are going to make the reader go through that put safer methods or links to cheaper binder options.
Binding with bandages or tape is not ok and if done enough will ruin your chances at getting surgery if you want it.
If you can’t afford a binder layering sports bras is also effective, use only three and put the middle one on backwards. If that doesn’t seem to work try pushing your chest closer to your armpits, moving them over like that can make your chest appear flatter, Wearing bigger shirts, hoodies or thicker fabrics like cotton on top of the sports bras can also make your chest look flatter.
Please remember that other people’s opinions of you are bullshit. If someone doesn’t truly love you there opinion shouldn’t mean shit to you.
It doesn’t matter who you are if you think you are a boy and you feel like a boy you are a boy. If people put you down because your “unconventional” don’t let them get you down those kind of people are stupid and don’t have anything better to do than rag on some innocent guy.
You are your own person. You don’t need validation to be who you are.
