#tape binding

[grizzlekicks]

being part of an exclusively queer online circle again means i get to reinstate / reintroduce myself as The Tape Binding God

edited to say i’m not interested in being added to your fucking porn stash. you can keep your measly reblog. my trans body isn’t inherently sexual and there are plenty of other willing guys y’all can objectify

Tape binding, using the ribbons I sewed around to attach the covers (and keep your secrets EXTRA secret)

Personal rambling

I finally bought myself binding tape and am low-key freaking about it in good and bad ways

First time making a decision for my own transition on my own and without asking permission,,,

Very excited and scared and feeling things

Okay wait life update since I rlly haven’t been posting:

- my car broke down on Friday while I was driving to school and I continued to drive it while it was smoking bc I didn’t want to be late (whoops)

- I got an email saying that my short story is being considered for a prize and I’ll find out on may 23rd !! (It’s based a bit on porch light by Noah kahan)

- I mayhaps have a partner… :D

- one of my friends is coming to my school next year which is really exciting bc my school is kinda lonely (like yea I have friends I made but it’s not the same)

- less than a month left in school !!

- I tried kt tape binding and it was rlly good bc I’m using a makeshift binder rn that doesn’t really work but this worked HOWEVER it was a sensory nightmare like it was so fucking itchy I had to take it off two days in and I kinda ripped of some skin (double whoops)

since my chest is making rounds again. reference pics + FAQ

i’ve been tape binding for seven years

all of these pics are from 2024 - 2026 to show the differences in application while both my body weight and chest size fluctuate

taping is not one size fits all, there’s a learning curve to the process, but this is the only way i’ve bound my chest since 2022

even with the skill i’ve developed i still itch, blister and rash on occasion. it’s worth it to me but may not be worth it to you, the same way i can never wear a binder again but other mascs can

i change the way i apply my tape based on the season or even situationally, using less in the summer or unnatural colors during the winter

i’m considering making some videos or diagrams eventually to show my process as there’s a lot of curiosity, but i feel like visually seeing different applications is enough in the meantime

feel free to send specific asks if you have a query for yours truly

and while excitement / appreciation is flattering please keep in mind i’m married and be respectful

thanks for da luv
