Bit different from my usual content, but I hope my ramblings help a baby butch feel more seen. I'll be talking about binding as a she/her butch so if that's something you want to read about, venture forth

Just ordered my first binder.

I recently wore a costume where I taped down my chest. And I try not to think of my chest most days. It's a fairly neutral feeling of, this is my body, its there, kind of thing. Taping for the first time made me realize 2 things.

1) taping is a lot harder than it looks and I have no fucking clue what I'm doing, also i almost certainly was not taping safely.

And 2) just because i was ignoring/apathetic about this part of my body, didn't mean I was comfortable with it.

I wear sports bras most days since that's what's most comfortable for me, but even then I have a fairly large chest compared to my frame and just figured theres nothing that can be done about that. Then I went a day with the flattest chest I've had since middleschool and realized that not only was i much more comfortable in my own body (despite the physical discomfort of incorrectly taping), but I had been uncomfortable before now and hadn't realized it.

My gender still hasn't changed, I welcome people viewing me as, and treating me like a woman. Just a woman who wears men's clothing, has masculine hobbies and tastes, and now (apparently) binds her chest. (I like being subversive like that)

Just wanted to come on here and say it's never too late to try new things and experiment with your gender, presentation, or body to find what makes you most comfortable. And regardless of your body or clothing, your butchness is defined by your mentality, your actions, and your connection with the community.

Using TransTape for the first time today! Here's my thoughts this far....

1) I'm not allergic to it, but why has it been itchy off and on JUST on the right side?

2) I am incapable of doing it alone (shout out to my partner for helping!)

3) I should have bought kt tape or something to practice a little bit before trying with the TransTape cause I fucked up like three times before getting it right.

4) testosterone has NOT made it difficult to cry because I cried like a baby for like forty minutes when I kept failing to apply the tape right.

5) I'm not completely flat, and I'm not sure I like this exact placement, but it's binding as flat as my binder always has (I'm taking a binder break because of breathing issues that popped up the last two weeks) so I'm happy enough with the results at the moment.

6) not sure what I rate it, will update in a few days (I'm too depressed and dysphoric to give an accurate rating atm).

That's it for now, thanks for reading my ramble 😊✌️

The day I get a chest binder is the day I live happy and free

Life is unfair. Because on one side, I love binding with tape! It's more accessible to me then a binder, easier to hide from my parents, it puts pressure on my chest really nicely and just makes me feel much better in general. But. Why tf does it itch UNDERNEATH THE FUCKING TAPE.

This is how I feel complaining about stupid bs but I have the right to bc THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TORTURE.

getting new binders soon and i think im gonna go with spectrum this time. i used to be a small in gc2b sizing but those dont fit anymore (im a medium now). spectrum's sizing says im a small but im worried theyll be too small anyway (2 inches more in the ribs sizing would make me a medium)(36" chest and 30" ribs btw).

so anyway, heres what im thinking: i dont know if ill be able to get two. if i get the small and its too small, im screwed. if i get the medium and its too big, i can shrink it, but what if its still too big? id be screwed there too. so which should i go for? or should i try to get both?
